which he had given to others

"Should I appeal to the law? Where were my proofs? I knew that the
facts were true, but could I help to make a jury of countrymen believe
so fantastic a story? I might or I might not. But I could not afford
to fail. My soul cried out for revenge. I have said to you once
before, Mr. Holmes, that I have spent much of my life outside the law,
and that I have come at last to be a law to myself. So it was even
now. I determined that the fate which he had given to others should be
shared by himself. Either that or I would do justice upon him with my
own hand. In all England there can be no man who sets less value upon
his own life than I do at the present moment.

"Now I have told you all. You have yourself supplied the rest. I did,
as you say, after a restless night, set off early from my cottage. I
foresaw the difficulty of arousing him, so I gathered some gravel from
the pile which you have mentioned, and I used it to throw up to his
window. He came down and admitted me through the window of the
sitting-room. I laid his offence before him. I told him that I had
come both as judge and executioner. The wretch sank into a chair,
paralyzed at the sight of my revolver. I lit the lamp, put the powder
above it, and stood outside the window, ready to carry out my threat to
shoot him should he try to leave the room. In five minutes he died.
My God! how he died! But my heart was flint, for he endured nothing
which my innocent darling had not felt before him. There is my story,
Mr. Holmes. Perhaps, if you loved a woman, you would have done as much
yourself. At any rate, I am in your hands. You can take what steps
you like. As I have already said, there is no man living who can fear
death less than I do." Air Max 2012 Women
