Is there justice in this world? That is curious. From one part of the story, the monster rescued a girl who slipped and fell into rapid stream, but what he deserved was a wound from the gun which fired by a man who fellow the girl.

However, when his two children returned, the daughter fainted and the son "dashed me to the ground and struck me violently with a stick" forcing the creature to "quit the cottage and escape unperceived to my hovel" (115).
