"What difference does it make," Santana asked, "if I help you kill Winslow? I cannot be any more damned than I am already--and possibly, possibly the consequences of your act will--will--do you see?" "Killing Winslow will topple the whole apple cart," Kesley said softly. "You're gambling an already assured damnation against the chance that knocking off one Duke will crush all the rest and restore your religion to supremacy." He chuckled quietly.
