The former, however, you have supposed to be the case, and yet your morality sustained no shock. (P. Coun: But the oath?--) Your pretended delicacy of conscience revolts at it; the mere cowardice of a boy. Who are you, that now takes the part of conscience against me? Are you a better man than I? (P. Coun: Whose work is it?) You are a greater coward, but not the better man. Do not presume to raise yourself an inch above me. You have sold both right and bread.
