knew   the   United   States   and   Turkey�察  �New   Orleans   and   Bucharest�察  �San 

Francisco and Constantinople。 His travels had been profitable to him�此�he 

had observed men and things�察�countries and institutions�察�customs and laws�察�

the   indigenous   races   and   the   settlers�察  �all   but   the   transient   visitors�察  �with 

whom   he   seemed   to   have   had   no   time   to   occupy   himself�察  �at   least   they 

formed   no   part   of   his   conversation。   He   related   several   anecdotes�察  �with 

some show of sprightliness�察�his melancholy began to melt away�察�he even 

indulged      in   little  bursts   of   gaiety�察  �and    Antoinette     could    not   avoid 

comparing him and his discourse to some of the more rigorous passages of 

the Engadine�察�where�察�amid the black shades of the pines�察�among frowning 

rocks�察�there are to be found lilies�察�gentians�察�and lakes。 

     He resumed his gravity to reply to a question of M。 Moriaz concerning 

Poland。 ;Unhappy Poland� ─�cried he。 ;To´day the Jew is its master。 Active�察�

adroit�察�inventive�察�little scrupulous�察�he makes capital out of our indolence 

and   our   improvidence。   He   has   over   us   one   great   advantage�察  �which   is 

simply that�察�while we live from day to day�察�he possesses a notion of a to´ 

morrow�察�we despise him�察�and we could not do without him。 We are always 

thirsty�察�and he supplies us with drink�察�we never have ready money�察�and he 

loans it to us at an enormous rate of interest�察�we cannot return it to him�察�

and he reimburses himself by seizing our goods and chattels�察�our jewels�察�

our land�察�and our castles。 We take out our revenge in insolence�察�and from 

time     to  time    in  petty   persecutions�察     �and   we    gradually    arrive    at  the 

conclusion that the sole means of freeing ourselves from the yoke of the 

Jew would be to conquer the vices by which he lives。; Count Abel added 

that   for   his part   he  had  no prejudice   against these   children   of Abraham�察�

and   he   quoted   the   words   of   an   Austrian   publicist   who   said      that   each 

country   had   the   kind   of   Jews   it   deserved。   ;In   fact�察─  �he   continued�察   �in 

England�察�as   in   France�察�and in   every country  where   they are   placed on   a 

footing     of   equality�察  �they   become      one   of  the   most    wholesome�察      �most 

vigorous elements of the nation�察�while they are the scourge�察�the leeches�察�of 

the countries that persecute them。; 

     ;And�察�truly�察�justice demands that it should be so�察─�cried Mlle。 Moriaz。 

     For the first time the count addressed himself directly to her�察�saying�察�

with a smile�此 �How is this�察�mademoiselle�拭�You are a woman�察�and you love 

justice� ─�

     ;This     astonishes    you�察  �monsieur�拭─     �she   rejoined。   ;You    do   not  think 

justice one of our virtues�拭─�

     ;A woman of my acquaintance�察─�he replied�察 �always maintained that it 

would   be   rendering       a   very   bad   service   to   this   poor   world   of   ours  to 

suppress      all  injustice�察  �because     with    the  same     stroke   would     also   be 

suppressed all charity。; 

     ;That is not my opinion�察─�said she。 ;When I give�察�it seems to me that I 

make restitution。; 

     ;She is somewhat of a socialist�察─�cried M。 Moriaz。 ;I perceive it every 

January in making out her accounts�察�and it is fortunate that she intrusts this 

to   me�察  �for   she   never   takes   the   trouble   to   look   at   the   memorandum   her 

banker sends her。; 

     ;I   am  proud   for   Poland  that   Mlle。  Moriaz has   a   Polish   failing�察─  �said 

Abel Larinski�察�gallantly。 

     ;Is it a failing�拭─�queried Antoinette。 

     ;Arithmetic   is   the   most   beautiful   of   the   sciences   and   the   mother   of 

certainty�察─�said M。 Moriaz。 And turning towards the count�察�he added�此 �She 

is very wrong´headed�察�this girl of mine�察�she holds absolutely revolutionary

principles�察�dangerous to public order and the preservation of society。 Why�察�

she maintains that people who are in need have a right to the superfluities 

of others� ─�

     ;This appears to me self´evident�察─�said she。 

     ;And�察�for example�察─�further continued M。 Moriaz�察 �she has among her 

/proteges/ a certain Mlle。 Galard; 

     ;Galet�察─�said Mlle。 Moiseney�察�bridling up�察�for she had been impatiently 

awaiting an opportunity to put in a word。 

     ;This Mlle。 Leontine Galet�察�who lives at No。 25 Rue Mouffetard; 

     ;No。 27�察─�again interposed Mlle。 Moiseney�察�in a magisterial tone。 

     ;As   usual�察  �you   are   sure   of   it�察  �perfectly   sure。   Very   good�   �This   Mlle。 

Galard     or  Galet�察  �residing   at  No。   25   or  No。   27   Rue   Mouffetard�察    �was 

formerly a florist by trade�察�and now she has not a sou。 I do not wish to 

fathom the mysteries of her pastit is very apt to be 'lightly come�察�lightly 

go' with the money of these peoplebut certain it is that Mlle。 Galard; 

     ;Galet�察─�put in Mlle。 Moiseney�察�sharply。 

     ;Is to´day an infirm old woman�察�a worthy object of the compassion of 

charitable people�察─�continued M。 Moriaz�察�heedless of this last interruption。 

;Mlle。 Moriaz allows her a pension�察�with which I find no fault�察�but Mlle。 

GaletI   mistake�察  �Mlle。   Galardhas   retained   from  her   former   calling   her 

passion for flowers�察�and during the winter Mlle。 Moriaz sends her every 

week a bouquet costing from ten to twelve francs�察�which shows�察�according 

to my opinion�察�a lack of common´sense。 In the month of January last�察�she 

sent   for   Parma   violets   for   this   /prot �g*/   of   hers。   Now�察  �I   appeal   to   M。 

Larinskiis this reasonable�察�or is it absurd�拭─�

     ;It is admirably absurd and foolishly admirable�察─�replied the count。 

     ;The flowers I give her are never so beautiful as some that were sent 

me the other day�察─�exclaimed Mlle。 Moriaz。 

     She went then into the next room�察�and returned�察�carrying the vase of 

water containing the mysterious bouquet。 ;What do you think of these�拭─�

she asked the count。 ;They are already much faded�察�and yet I think they 

are beautiful still。; 

     He    admired     the  bouquet�察    �but�察 �although     Antoinette     regarded    him 

fixedly�察�she detected neither blush nor confusion on his face。 ;It was not

he�察─�she said to herself。 

     There was a piano in the room where they had dined。 As Count Abel 

was taking leave�察�Mlle。 Moiseney begged him to give Mlle。 Moriaz proof 

of his talent。 He slightly knit his brows at this request�察�and resumed that 

sombre�察�almost savage�察�air he had worn when he met Antoinette at the foot 

of   the   mountain。   He   urged   in   excuse   the   lateness   of   the   hour�察  �but   he 

allowed      the  promise     to  be  wrested     from   him   that   he   would    be   more 

complaisant the next day。 

     When he was gone�察�accompanied by M。 Moriaz�察�who said he would 

walk a little distance with him�察�Antoinette exclaimed�此 �You see�察�my dear 

it was not he。; 

     ;Suppose   I   was   wrong�察─  �replied   Mlle。   Moiseney�察  �in   a   piqued   tone 

;you will at least grant that he is handsome�拭─�

     ;As   handsome   as   you   please。   Do   you   know   what   I   think   of   when   I 

look at him�拭�A haunted castle。 And I feel curious to make the acquaintance 

of the goblins that visit it。; 

     Notwithstanding his promise�察�Count Larinski did not reappear before 

the lapse of three days�察�but this time he gave all the music that was asked 

of him。 His memory was surprising�察�and his whole soul seemed to be at 

the ends of his fingers�察�and he drew marvellous strains from an instrument 

which�察  �in   itself�察  �was   far   from   being   a   marvel。   He   sang�察  �too�察  �he   had   a 

barytone voice�察�mellow and resonant。 After having hummed in a low tone 

some   Roumanic   melodies�察  �he   struck   up   one   of   his   own   national   songs。 

This he failed to finish�察�tears started in his eyes�察�emotion overpowered his 

voice。   He   broke   off   abruptly�察  �asking   pardon   for   the   weakness   that   had 

caused   him   to   make   himself   ridiculous�察  �but   one   glance   at   Mlle。   Moriaz 

convinced him that she did not find him ridiculous。 

     A most invaluable resource�察�indeed�察�in a mountain´country where the 

evenings are long�察�is a Pole who knows how to talk and to sing。 M。 Moriaz 

liked music�察�but he liked something else besides。 When he could not go 

into   society  and   was   forbidden   to   work�察  �he   grew   sleepy   after   dinner�察  �in 

order to rouse himself he was glad to play a hand of /bezique/ or /ecarte/。 

For   want   of   some   one   better�察  �he   played   with   Mlle。   Moiseney�察  �but   this 

make´shift was little to his taste�察�he disliked immensely coming into too

close proximity with the pinched visage and yellow ribbons of Pope Joan。 

He proposed to Count Larinski to take a hand with him�察�and his proposal 

was   accepted   with   the   best   grace   in   the   world。   ;Decidedly   this   man   is 

good for everything�察─�thought M。 Moriaz�察�and he conceived a great liking 

for   him。   The   result   was�察  �that   during   an   entire   week   Count Abel   passed 

every evening at the Hotel Badrutt。 

     ;Your father is a most peculiar man�察─�said Mlle。 Moiseney�察�indignantly�察�

to   Antoinette。     ;He   is  shockingly     egotistical。   He    has   confiscated    M。 

Larinski。 The idea of employing such a man as that
