[Little
William speaking] “Hideous monster! let me go; My papa is a
Syndic — he is M. Frankenstein — he would punish
you. You
dare not keep me.”
[The monster speaking] “‘Frankenstein! you belong
then to
my enemy — to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge;
you
shall be my first victim.’ The child still struggled, and
loaded
me with epithets which carried despair to my heart: I grasped his
throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my
feet.”
