You–“ Mr Bellstrode began, and then leaning forward and sinking his voice, “You would kill for money?”“ Is there any other reason to? Well, I suppose there is revenge, but that, you know, never makes one feel as well as it should when it is all said and done. Money is a much better reward than retribution. Something substantial by way of compensation for emotional wrongs is much the best cure for an injured spirit.
