the place of reason。; 

     ;So you will not believe that Count Larinski is married�拭─�

     ;I believe it�察�without being certain�察�and I wish to be assured of it。 Have 

I not acted in good faith through all this matter�拭�was I not ready to comply 

with   your   conditions�拭  �I   consented   to   refer   to   the   judgment   of   Mme。   de 

Lorcy。  She   has   deigned to   be   gracious   to   the   accused。   She has   admitted 

that M。 Larinski is a perfectly honourable and even a delightful man�察�but 

she has discovered�察�at intervals of several days�察�first�察�that he does not love

me�察�and then�察�that he has deceived me by letting me believe that he was 

still free。 I wish to satisfy my own mind�察�and convince myself that I am 

not being played with。; 

     ;And you have concluded; 

     ;I   have   concluded     that�察 �with   your   permission�察    �we   shall   leave   to´ 

morrow morning for Cormeilles。; 

     This conclusion was by no means agreeable to M。 Moriaz�察�whose face 

grew sensibly longer。 

     ;Of   what   are   you   afraid�拭  �You   know   that   I   have   character�察  �and   you 

ought to know�察�no matter what Mme。 de Lorcy says�察�that I am not wanting 

in good sense。 When it is proved to me that I have deceived myself�察�I will 

make the sign of the cross over my romance�察�it will be dead and buried�察�

and I promise you not to wear mourning for it。; 

     ;So be it�察─�said he�察 �I believe in your good sense�察�I have faith in your 

reason�此�we shall leave to´morrow for Cormeilles。; 

     Four days later�察�Mme。 de Lorcy was walking in an alley in her park。 

She    was    joined   there   by   M。   Langis�察  �to  whom      she  said�察  �in  a  good´ 

humoured tone�此 �Always grave and melancholy�察�my dear Camille� �When 

will you cease your drooping airs�拭�I cannot understand you。 I do my best 

to be   agreeable   to   you�察  �to   settle   matters   satisfactorily。   Nothing   seems   to 

cheer you。 You make me think of the hare in La Fontaine�此�

       ; 'Cet animal est triste�察�et la Crainte le ronge。' ; 

     ;Fear    and    hate�察  �madame�察─     �replied   he。   ;I  hate    this  man�察   �he   is 

insupportable to me。  I will give up coming   to Maisons if   I always   must 

meet him here。 Has he paid you his adieux for the last time�拭─�

     ;Not   yet�察  �a   little   patiencewe   shall   not   count   the   minutes。   Besides�察�

what harm  can this   man do   you�拭�The lion has   lost his   clawswhat do   I 

say��he has carried his good´nature to the point of muzzling himself。 It is 

not generous to pursue with hate a disarmed enemy。; 

     ;Very well�察�madame�察�if he is not gone in three days�察�I return to my first 

idea�察�it was the best。; 

     ;You will cut his throat�拭─�

     ;With all my heart。; 

     ;For the love of art�拭─�

     ;I am not a very bloodthirsty individual�察�but I would take a singular 

delight in slashing at the skin of this gloomy personage。; 

     Mme。 de Lorcy shrugged her shoulders。 ;What makes you think him 

gloomy�察  �my   dear�拭�You   are   perfectly   reasonable。 You   ought   to   adore   M。 

Larinski�察�you are under the greatest obligations to him。 He has been the 

first to succeed in touching the heart of our dear�察�hitherto insensible girl�察�

he has broken the charm。 She was the Sleeping Beauty�察�he has awakened 

her�察�and�察�through the favour of Heaven�察�he cannot marry her。 I can see her 

in Churwalden�察�a prey to the gloomiest ennui�察�weeping over her illusions�察�

furious at having been deceived。 Do you not divine all the advantage that 

can be derived from a woman's anger�拭─�

     ;You know that I love her�察�and yet I do not wish to owe anything to her 

spite。; 

     ;You are a child�此�be guided。 The moment is come for you to propose。 

In a few days you will start for Churwalden�察�and you will say to this angry 

woman�察  �'I   have   liedI   love   you。'   In   short�察  �you   will   talk   to   her   of   your 

amorous flame�察�and you may�察�freely�察�under these circumstances�察�exhaust 

all your treasure´store of hyperbole。 She will listen to you�察�I can promise 

you�察�and she will say to herself�察�'I seek vengeance here it is。' ; 

     ;I would like to believe you�察�madame�察─�he replied�察 �but are you very 

certain that Mlle。 Moriaz is still at Churwalden�拭─�

     And�察�pointing with his finger�察�he showed her at the end of the avenue a 

figure coming towards them clad in a pretty nut´brown dress with a long 

train sweeping the gravel。 

     ;Truly�察�I believe that it is she�察─�cried Mme。 de Lorcy。 ;M。 Moriaz is the 

most unskilful person�察�but�察�after all�察�not much harm is done。; 

     Mlle。   Moriaz   had   arrived   the   evening   previous   at   Cormeilles。   After 

resting somewhat from the fatigues of the journey�察�she had nothing more 

urgent to do than to order the horses put to her coupe and to come and pay 

her   respects   to   her   godmother�察 �who   could   not   fail to   be   touched   by  this 

attention。 

     Mme。   de   Lorcy   ran   to   Antoinette   and   embraced   her   several   times�察�

saying�此 �You are here at last� �How charmed I am to see you again� �You 

made us wait long enough�察�I began to fear that you had taken root in the

Grisons。 Is it indeed an enchanted land�拭�I rather believe that your father is 

a cruel egotist�察�that he shamefully sacrificed you to his own convenience 

in   prolonging   his   cure�察  �but   here   you   areI   will   pardon   him。 Your   poor�察�

your /proteges/�察�are clamorous for you。 Who do you think asked after you�察�

the   other   day�拭  �Mlle。   Galet�察  �whom�察  �according   to   your   orders�察  �I   supplied 

with her quarter's   allowance。  How  you   spoil her�  �I  found   on   her  table  a 

bouquet   fit   for   a   duchess�察  �she   insisted   that   you   had   sent   it   to   her   from 

where   you   were�察  �and   I   had   all   the   trouble   in   the   world   to   make   her 

understand that   double   camellias are   not   gathered   among the glaciers of 

Roseg。 Strew with flowers�察�if you will�察�Mlle。 Galet's existence and garret�察�

but do not   fling   at   her   head   a bushel   of double   camellias�察 �streaked   with 

white�察�it is madness。 I seriously propose to have you put under restraint。 

Never mind�察�I am very happy to see you again。 You are looking very well。´ 

´Don't you think�察�Camille�察�that she appears extremely well�拭─�

     Mlle。    Moriaz     coldly   received     Mme。      de  Lorcy's    embraces�察     �but   she 

smiled graciously on M。 Langis�察�and pressed his hand affectionately。 Mme。 

de    Lorcy    led   them    into   her  /salon/�察  �where     they   talked    on  indifferent 

subjects。 Antoinette was waiting for M。 Langis's departure to broach the 

subject that she had at heart。 At the end of twenty  minutes�察�he rose�察 �but 

immediately reseated himself。 A door had just opened�察�giving admittance 

to Count Abel Larinski。 

     At    the   unexpected       apparition    of   Samuel      Brohl�察   �the   two   women 

changed       colour�察   �the   one    flushed    from    the   effort   that   she   made     to 

dissimulate   her   vexation�察  �the   other   turned   pale   from   emotion。          Samuel 

Brohl     crossed     the   /salon/   with    deliberate    step�察  �without     appearing     to 

recognise the person who was with Mme。 de Lorcy。 Suddenly he trembled�察�

as if he had been touched by a torpedo�察�and�察�profoundly agitated�察�almost 

lost   countenance。   Was   he   as   much   astonished   as   he   seemed�拭  �For   some 

time the Sannois Hill had become his favourite promenade�察�and he never 

went there without going as far as a certain spot whence he could see the 

front    of  a  certain    house�察   �the  window´shutters        of  which     had   remained 

during   two   months   as   though   hermetically   sealed。   It   might   be   that   the 

evening before he had found them open。 Induction is a scientific process 

with which Samuel Brohls are familiar。

     He had abundant will and self´control。 He was not long in recovering 

himself�察  �he   raised   his   head   like  one  who   feels himself  strong   enough   to 

defy all dangers。 After greeting Mme。 de Lorcy�察�he drew near Antoinette�察�

and asked how she was�察�in a grave�察�almost ceremonious tone。 

     ;Your visit distresses me�察�my dear count�察─�said Mme。 de Lorcy to him�察�

;I fear it is the last。 Have you come to bid us farewell�拭─�

     ;Alas�   �yes�察  �madame�察─  �he   replied。   ;The   letter   for   which   I   have   been 

waiting has not yet arrived�察�but this delay will not alter my plans�此�in three 

days I shall leave Paris。; 

     ;Without a desire to return�察�without regret�拭─�she asked。 

     ;I   shall   only   regret   Maisons�察  �and   the   kind   reception   I   have   received 

there。 Paris is too large�察�little people like myself feel their smallness more 

here   than   elsewhere�察  �it   does   not   require   an   excess   of   pride   for   one   to 

dislike being reduced to the state of an atom。 Residing in Vienna suits me 

better�察�I breathe freer there�察�it is a city better adapted to my size and taste。 

Birds do wrong to change their nests。; 

     Thereupon�察�he began to describe and warmly extol the Prater and its 

fine walks�察�Schonbrunn�察�its botanical gardens and the Gloriette�察�the church 

of    St。  Stephen's�察    �and    the   limpid    waters     of  the   Danube�察     �sometimes 

addressing       himself    to   Antoinette�察    �who    listened    without     a  word�察   �and
