box。 She could not remove her eyes from him�察�and he at once perceived 

the impression he was making on her。 Forthwith Samuel Brohl re´entered 

his box�察�whose cover closed over him�察�and it was a true Pole who said to 

Mlle。 Moriaz�察�in a grave�察�melancholy�察�and respectful tone�此�

     ;Pardon me�察�I am not always master of my impressions。; 

     ;That is right�察─�said she�察 �and you will remain�察�won't you�拭─�

     ;Impossible�察─  �he   replied�察   �I   should   be   cross�察  �and   you   would   not   be 

pleased。; 

     She    urged   him�察   �he  opposed     her  entreaties    with   a  polite  but   firm 

resistance。 

     ;Adieu�察─�said she。 ;When shall I see you again�拭─�

     ;To´morrowor the day afterI do not know。; 

     ;Really�察�do you not know�拭─�

     He   perceived   that   her   eyes   were   full   of   tears。   Tenderly   kissing   her 

hand he said�察�with a smile that consoled her�此�

     ;This is the first time we have had any dispute�察�it is possible that I may 

be wrong�察�but it seems to me that if I were a woman I would not willingly 

marry a man who was always right。; 

     These   words      uttered�察  �he   assured   himself    anew   that   her   eyes   were 

humid�察�and then he left�察�charmed to have proved the extent of the empire 

he held over her。 

     When she rejoined M。 Langis�察�the young man asked�此�

     ;Does   it   chance   to   be   I   who   put   Count   Larinski   to   flight�拭  �If   so�察  �I 

should be quite heart´broken。; 

     ;Reassure   yourself�察─  �said   she�察   �he   came   expressly  to   inform   me   that 

his evening was not free。; 

     The dinner was only passably lively。 Mlle。 Moiseney owed M。 Langis 

a grudge�察�she could not forgive him for having made fun of her more than 

oncein her eyes an unpardonable sin。 M。 Moriaz was enchanted to find 

himself once more in company with his dear Camille�察�but he kept asking 

himself�察�mournfully�察 �Why is not he to be my son´in´law�拭─�Antoinette had 

several attacks of abstraction�察�she did not�察�however�察�omit the least friendly 

attention   to   Camille。   Love   had   become   master   of   this   generous   soul�察  �it 

might cause it to commit many imprudences�察�but it was not in its power to 

cause it to commit an injustice。 

     At nine o'clock M。 Langis mounted his horse and took his departure。 

     Meanwhile�察�Mlle。 Moriaz�察�her arm resting on the ledge of her window�察�

was meditating on the strange conduct of Count Larinski as she gazed on 

the   stars�察  �the   sky   was   without   clouds�察  �unless   a   little   black   speck   above 

Mount´Valerien   might   be   so   called。   Mlle。   Moriaz's   heart   swelled   with 

emotion�察 �and   she   felt   implicit   confidence that   all   would   be   arranged   the 

next day。 What is one black spot in the immensity of a starry sky�拭�

                                CHAPTER X 



     In   all   that   Samuel   Brohl   did�察  �even   in   his   wildest   freaks�察  �there   was 

somewhat        of   calculation�察    �or   contrivance。      Unquestionably�察      �he   had 

experienced       intense   displeasure    at  encountering     M。    Camille    Langis    at 

Cormeilles�察  �he had�察  �doubtless�察  �very  particular   and   very  personal   reasons 

for not liking him。 He knew�察�however�察�that there was need for controlling 

his temper�察�his impressions�察�his rancour�察�and�察�if he ceased to do so for a 

moment�察  �it   was   because  he   counted   upon   deriving   advantage   therefrom。 

He    was    impatient    to   enter   into  possession�察    �to  feel  his   good´fortune 

sheltered      from    all   hazards�察   �delays�察   �procrastinations�察     �long    waiting�察�

displeased and irritated him。 He suspected M。 Moriaz of purposely putting 

his shoulder to the wheel of time�察�and of preparing a contract that would 

completely tie the hands of Count Larinski。 He resolved to seize the first 

opportunity of proving that he was mistrustful�察�stormy�察�susceptible�察�in the 

hope that   Mlle。   Moriaz   would become   alarmed   and   say  to   her   father�察   �I 

intend     to  marry    in   three   weeks�察   �and    without    any   conditions。;     The 

opportunity  had   presented   itself�察 �and   Samuel   Brohl had   taken   good   care 

not to lose it。 

     The next day he received the following note�此�

       ;You have caused me pain�察�a great deal of pain。 Already� �I passed a 

sorrowful      evening�察   �and    slept   wretchedly     all  night。   I  have    reflected 

seriously upon our dispute�察�I have endeavoured to persuade myself that I 

was in the wrong�此�I have neither been able to succeed�察�nor to comprehend 

you。   Ah�   �how   your   lack   of   confidence   astonishes   me�   �It   is   so   easy   to 

believe when one loves。 Please write me word quickly that you also have 

reflected�察�and that you have acknowledged your misdemeanour。 I will not 

insist upon   your doing penance�察  �your   face humbled   to   the ground�察  �but   I 

will condemn you to love me to´day more than yesterday�察�to´morrow more 

than to´day。 Upon these conditions�察�I will pass a sponge across your grave 

error�察�and we shall speak of it no more。 

     ;Ever yours。 It is agreed�察�is it not�拭─�Samuel Brohl had the surprise of 

receiving at the same time another 

     letter�察�thus worded�此�

       ;MY DEAR COUNT�此�I cannot explain to myself your conduct�察�you 

no longer give me any signs of life。 I believed that I had some claims upon 

you�察  �and   that   you   would   hasten   to   announce   to   me   in   person   the   great 

event   of   events�察  �and   seek   my   congratulations。   Come�察  �I   beg   of   you�察  �and 

dine this evening at Maisons with Abbe Miollens�察�who is dying to embrace 

you�察  �he   studies   men   in   Horace�察  �you   know�察  �and   he   finds   none   whom   he 

prefers to you。 

       ;You need not answer�察�but come�察�else I will be displeased with you as 

long as I live。; 

     Samuel replied as follows to Mlle。 Moriaz�此�

       ;Be assured I have suffered more than you。 Forgive me�察�much should 

be forgiven a man who has suffered much。 My imagination is subject to 

the wildest alarms。 Great�察�unlooked´for joy has rendered me mistrustful。 I 

have   been   especially  low´spirited   of   late。 After   having   resolutely   fought 

against my happiness�察�I tremble now lest it escape me�察�it appears to me too 

beautiful not to prove only a dream。 To be loved by you� �How can I help 

fearing to lose the great boon�拭�Each evening I ask myself�此�'Will she still 

love me to´morrow��' Perhaps my anxiety is blended with secret remorse。 

My pride�察�ever on the alert to take umbrage�察�has often been my torment�察�

you can tell me it is only self´love�此�I will endeavour to cure myself of it�察�

but   this   cannot   be   done   in   a   day。   During   these   long   months   of   waiting 

there will come to   me   more than one suspicion�察�more than one troubled 

thought。   I   promise   you�察  �however�察  �that   I   shall   maintain   a   rigid    silence 

concerning them�察�and�察�if possible�察�hide them。 

       ;You condemn me�察�for my punishment�察�to love you to´day more than 

yesterday�察  �you   know   well   this   were   impossible。   No�察  �I   shall   inflict   upon 

myself another chastisement。 Mme。 de Lorcy has invited me to dinner。 I 

suspect her of having a very mediocre feeling of good´ will for me�察�and I 

also   accuse   her   of   being   cold   and   insensible�察  �of   understanding   nothing 

whatever       of   the   heart's    unreasonableness�察       �which     is   true   wisdom。 

Nevertheless�察�I will refrain from declining her invitation。 It is at Maisons 

and   not   at   Cormeilles   that   I   shall   this   day   pass   my   evening。   Are   you 

content with me�拭�Is not the penance severe enough�拭�

       ;But to´morrowoh�   �I shall arrive at   your home   to´morrow by  two

o'clock�察�and I shall enter by the little green gate at the foot of the orchard。 

Will you do me a favour�拭�Promenade about two o'clock in the gravel´walk 

that I adore。 The wall being low at that place�察�I shall perceive from afar�察�

before entering�察�the white silk of your sun´umbrella。 I am counting�察�you 

see�察�upon sunshine。 How very childish� �Yet�察�even this is not strange�察�I was 

born three   months   and   a   half   ago�察  �I   commenced   to   live   July  5th   of   this 

year�察�at four o'clock in the afternoon�察�in the cathedral at Chur。 Forgive me 

all my errors�察�my suspicions�察�my childish absurdities。; 

     Mlle。 Moriaz   concluded   that   it would   be   well to shorten   the term  of 

waiting�察  �and   that   she   would   ask   Count   Larinski   to   fix   the   date   of   their 

marriage himself。 As to the contract�察�she had immediate occasion to speak 

of   it   to   her  father�察 �who   announced to her  that he   had   invited his   notary�察�

Maitre Noirot�察�to dine with him the next day。 

     She was silent a few moments�察�and then said�察 �Can you explain to me 

the use of notaries�拭─�

     He replied about as did /le Philosophe sans le savoir/�此 �We only see the 

present�察�notaries foresee the future and possible contingencies。; 

     She replied that she did not believe in contingencies�察�and that she did 

not like precautions�察�because they presupposed distrust�察�and might appear 

offensive。 

     ;We   have   charming   weather   to´day�察─  �said   her   father�察   �nevertheless 

there   is   a   possibility   of   rain   to´morrow。   If   I   started   this   evening
