Chilo had done him the most terrible wrong that one man could do another. At the very thought of how he would act with a man who killed Lygia, for instance, the heart of Vinicius seethed up, as does water in a caldron; there were no torments which he would not inflict in his vengeance!
Hiszen Chilon olyan szörnyű sérelmet okozott neki, amilyent csak ember okozhat embernek, s ha elgondolta, hogy mit tenne ő azzal, aki például Lygiát megölné, lelke már a puszta gondolatra is úgy felforrt, mint a víz a fazékban, s nem ismert olyan kínokat, amelyekkel meg ne bosszulta volna!
