had teeth�察�she had made me desire everything she desires。; 

     ;At least you will give me permission to pay my addresses to her to´ 

morrow�拭─�

     ;Beware�察�unlucky youth� ─�cried M。 Moriaz。 ;You will ruin your case 

forever。 Since you have been away she has refused two offers�察�one of them 

from a second secretary of legation�察�Viscount de R´�察�and at the present 

moment she holds in holy horror all suitors。 She is accompanying me to 

Saint   Moritz   in   order   to   gather   flowers   and   paint   aquarelle   sketches   of 

them。  Should   you   presume   to interrupt   her in   her   favourite   occupations�察�

should     you   present    yourself   before    her  like  a  creditor   on   the  day   of 

maturity�察�I swear to you that your note would be protested�察�and that you 

would have nothing better to do than return to Hungary。; 

     ;You are sure of it�拭─�

     ;As sure as that sulphuric acid will turn litmus red。; 

     ;And   you   have   the   heart   to   sent   me   back   to   Paris   without   having 

spoken with her�拭─�

     ;What I have said is for your good�察�and you know whether I mean you 

well or not。; 

     ;It is agreed�察�then�察�that you will take charge of my interests�察�that you 

will plead my cause�拭─�

     ;It is understood that I will sound the premises�察�that I will prepare the 

way; 

     ;And that you will send me tidings shortly�察�and that these tidings will 

be good。 I shall await them here�察�at the Hotel Steinbock。; 

     ;As you please�察�but�察�for the love of Heaven�察�let me sleep� ─�

     M。 Camille Langis pressed his two arms and said�察�with much emotion�此�

;I place myself in your hands�察�take care how you answer for my life� ─�

     ;O youth� ─�murmured M。 Moriaz�察�actually thrusting Camille from the 

room。 ;One might search in vain for a more beautiful invention。; 

     Ten hours later�察�a post´chaise bore in the direction of Engadine Mlle。 

Antoinette   Moriaz�察  �her   father�察  �her   /demoiselle   de   compagnie/�察  �and   her 

/femme de chambre/。 They breakfasted tolerably well in a village situated 

in the lower portion of a notch�察�called Tiefenkasten�察�which means�察�literally�察�

/deep chest/�察�and certainly a deeper never has been seen。 After breakfast 

they pursued their way farther�察�and towards four o'clock in the afternoon 

they   reached   the   entrance   of   the   savage   defile   of   Bergunerstein�察  �which 

deserves to be compared with that of Via Mala。 The road lies between a 

wall of rocks and a precipice of nearly two hundred metres�察�at the bottom 

of   which   rush   the   swift   waters   of   the Albula。   This   wild   scenery   deeply 

moved Mlle。 Moriaz�察�she never had seen anything like it at Cormeilles or 

anywhere   about   Paris。   She   alighted�察  �and�察  �moving   towards   the   parapet�察�

leaned   over   it�察  �contemplating   at   her   ease   the   depths   below�察  �which   the 

foaming torrent beneath filled with its roars。

     Her father speedily joined her。 

     ;Do you not find this music charming�拭─�she asked of him。 

     ;Charming�察  �I   grant�察─  �he   replied�察   �but   more   charming   still   are   those 

brave   workmen   who�察  �at   the   risk   of   their   necks�察  �have   engineered   such   a 

suspended   highway   as   we   see   here。   I   think   you   admire   the   torrent   too 

much�察�and the road not enough。; And after a pause he added�察 �I wish that 

our   friend    Camille     Langis    had   had    fewer    dangers    to  contend     with   in 

constructing his。; Antoinette turned quickly and looked at her father�察�then 

she   bestowed   her   attention   once   more   upon   the   Albula。   ;To   be   sure�察─�

resumed   M。   Moriaz�察  �stroking   his   whiskers   with   the   head   of   his   cane�察�

;Camille   is   just   the   man   to   make   his   way  through   difficulties。   He   has   a 

youthful air that is very deceptive�察�but he always has been astonishingly 

precocious。   At   twenty   years   of   age   he   became   head   of   his   class   at   the 

Central School�察�but the best thing about him is that�察�although in possession 

of   a   fortune�察  �yet   he   has   a   passion   for   work。   The   rich   man   who   works 

accepts voluntary poverty。; 

     There   arose   from   the   precipice   a   damp�察  �chill   breeze�察  �Mlle。   Moriaz 

drew over her head a red hood that she held in her hand�察�and scraping off 

with   her   finger   some   of   the   facing   of   the   parapet�察  �which   glittered   with 

scales of mica�察�she asked�此 �What do you call this�拭─�

     ;It is gneiss�察�a sort of sheet´granite�察�but do not you too admire people 

who work when they are not compelled to do anything�拭─�

     ;Then you must admire yourself a great deal。; 

     ;Oh�察�I� �In my early youth I worked from necessity�察�and then I formed a 

habit which I cannot now get rid of�察�while Camille Langis; 

     ;Once   more�拭─  �she   ejaculated�察  �with   a   gesture   of   impatience。   ;What 

prompts you to speak to me of Camille�拭─�

     ;Nothing。 I often think of him。; 

     ;Do   not   let   us   two   play   at   diplomacy。   You   have   had   news   of   him 

lately�拭─�

     ;You   just   remind   me   that   I   have�察  �through   a   letter   from   Mme。       De 

Lorcy。; 

     ;Mme de Lorcy�察�my godmother�察�would do better to meddle with what 

concerns her。 That woman is incorrigible。;

     ;Of what would you have her correct herself�拭─�

     ;Simply of her mania for making my happiness after her own fashion。 

I read in your eyes that Camille has returned to Paris。 What is his object�拭─�

     ;I know nothing about it。 How should I know�拭�I only presumethat is�察�

I suppose; 

     ;You do not supposeyou know。; 

     ;Not at all。 At the same time�察�since hypothesis is the road which leads 

to science�察�a road we /savants/ travel every day�察�I; 

     'You   know   very   well�察─  �she   again   interposed�察   �that   I   promised   him 

nothing。; 

     ;Strictly speaking�察�I admit�察�but you requested me to tell him that you 

found     him   too  young。    He   has   laboured    conscientiously     since   then   to 

correct that fault。; Then playfully pinching her cheeks�察�he added�此 �You are 

a great girl for objections。 Soon you will be twenty´five years old�察�and you 

have    refused    five  eligible   offers。   Have    you   taken   a  vow    to  remain 

unmarried�拭─�

     ;Ah� �you have no mercy�察─�she cried。 ;What� �you cannot even spare me 

on the Albula� �You know that�察�of all subjects of conversation�察�I have most 

antipathy for this。; 

     ;Come�察�come�察�you are slandering me now�察�my child。 I spoke to you of 

Camille as I might have spoken of the King of Prussia�察�and you rose in 

arms at once�察�taking it wholly to yourself。; 

     Antoinette was silent for some moments。 

     ;Decidedly�察�you are very fond of Camille�察─�she presently said。 

     ;Of all the sons´in´law you could propose to me; 

     ;But I do not propose any。; 

     ;That is precisely what I find fault with。; 

     ;Very   good�察  �since   you   think   so   much   of   him�察  �this   Camille�察  �suppose 

you command me to marry him�拭─�

     ;If I were to command�察�would you obey�拭─�

     ;Perhaps�察�just for the curiosity of the thing�察─�she rejoined�察�laughing。 

     ;Naughty girl�察�to mock at her father� ─�said he。 ;If these twenty years I 

have    been    in  servitude�察  �I  can   scarcely    emancipate     myself    in  a  day。 

However�察�since the great king deigns to hold parley with his ministers�察�I

am Pomponnelet us argue。; 

     ;Ah�察  �well�   �you   know   as   well   as   I   that   I   have   a   real   friendship   for 

Camille�察�as the playmate of my childhood。 I remember him when he was 

ever so small�察�and he remembers me�察�too�察�when I was a tiny creature。 We 

played hide´and´seek together�察�and he humoured me in my ten thousand 

little caprices。 Delightful reminiscences these�察�but unfortunately I think of 

them too much when I see him。; 

     ;He   has   passed   two   years   among   the   Magyars�察  �two   years   is   a   good 

while。; 

     ;Bah�   �he   could   never   possibly   have   any   authority   over   me。   I   intend 

that my husband shall be my government。; 

     ;So that you may have the pleasure of governing your government�拭─�

     ;Besides�察  �I   know   Camille   too   well。   I   could   only   fall   in   love   with   a 

stranger�察─�said she�察�heedless of the last sally。 

     ;Was not the Viscount R´ a stranger�拭─�

     ;At the end of five minutes I knew him by heart。 He is precisely like 

all other second secretaries of legation in the world。 You may be sure that 

there is not a single idea in his head that is really his own。 Even his figure 

does not belong to himself�察�it is the /chef´d'oeuvre/ of the united efforts of 

his tailor and his shirt´maker。; 

     ;According to this�察�a prime requisite in the man whom you could love 

is to be poorly clad。; 

     ;If ever my heart is touched�察�it will be because I have met a man who 

is   not   like   all   the   other   men   of   my   acquaintance。   After   that   I   will   not 

positively forbid him to have decent clothing。; 

     M。   Moriaz   made   a   little   gesture   of   impatience�察  �and   then   set   out   to 

regain   the   chaise�察  �which   was   some   distance   in   advance。   When   he   had 

proceeded about twenty steps�察�he paused�察�and�察�turning towards Antoinette�察�

who   was   engaged   in   readjusting   her   hood
