What does General Zaroff do to prove that he is civilized?
He shows that he is angry.
He lets his eyes go black.
He pauses for a second.
He speaks in a pleasant manner.
A trace of anger was in the general's black eyes, but it was there for but a second, and he said, in his most pleasant manner: "Dear me, what a righteous young man you are! I assure you I do not do the thing you suggest. That would be barbarous. I treat these visitors with every consideration. They get plenty of good food and exercise. They get into splendid physical condition. You shall see for yourself tomorrow."
