Quote context

[...]

- You have been here only a matter of hours. You cannot know what it is to live here month upon month, year after year, breathing this infernal air...

- Absorbing the miasma of barbarity which permeates these walls, particularly this chamber.

- But it did not bother her at first either.

- Our life was good, rich with the shared pleasures of our love.

- We dined, sometimes alone, enjoying intimate conversation, sometimes with the doctor.

- And every night, Elizabeth would play for me.

- More and more, entering her room in the mornings, I would find her awake and discover that she had not slept all the night. I tried to find out why, but she had no explanation.

And now for you, Bartolome, my beloved brother, while you are still alive, my ultimate device of torture.
