pardon for what I said yesterday to Mlle。 Olympe�察�and pity for what you 

are perhaps still ready to do to me。 Intentionally or not�察�since your return 

you   have   given   me   so   much   pain     that   I   should   be   incapable   now   of 

enduring a fourth part of what I have endured till now。 You will have pity 

on    me�察  �won't   you�拭   �And    you   will  understand     that  a  man    who    is  not 

heartless has other nobler things to do than to take his revenge upon a sick 

and sad woman like me。 See�察�take my hand。 I am in a fever。 I left my bed 

to    come    to   you�察   �and   ask�察  �not   for   your    friendship�察   �but   for   your 

indifference。; 

     I took Marguerite's hand。 It was burning�察�and the poor woman shivered 

under her fur cloak。 

     I rolled the arm´chair in which she was sitting up to the fire。 

     ;Do you think�察�then�察�that I did not suffer�察─�said I�察 �on that night when�察�

after waiting for you in the country�察�I came to look for you in Paris�察�and 

found nothing but the letter which nearly drove me mad�拭�How could you 

have deceived me�察�Marguerite�察�when I loved you so much�拭�

     ;Do   not   speak   of   that�察  �Armand�察  �I   did   not   come   to   speak   of   that。   I 

wanted to see you only not an enemy�察�and I wanted to take your hand once 

more。 You have a mistress�察�she is young�察�pretty�察�you love her they say。 Be 

happy with her and forget me。; 

     ;And you。 You are happy�察�no doubt�拭─�

     ;Have I the face of a happy woman�察�Armand�拭�Do not mock my sorrow�察�

you�察�who know better than any one what its cause and its depth are。; 

     ;It only depended on you not to have been unhappy at all�察�if you are as 

you say。; 

     ;No�察�my friend�察�circumstances were stronger than my will。 I obeyed�察�

not   the   instincts   of   a   light   woman�察  �as   you   seem   to   say�察  �but   a   serious

necessity�察�and reasons which you will know one day�察�and which will make 

you forgive me。; 

     ;Why do you not tell me those reasons to´day�拭─�

     ;Because they would not bring about an impossible reunion between 

us�察�and they would separate you perhaps from those from whom you must 

not be separated。; 

     ;Who do you mean�拭─�

     ;I can not tell you。; 

     ;Then you are lying to me。; 

     Marguerite   rose   and   went   toward   the   door。   I   could   not   behold   this 

silent and expressive sorrow without being touched�察�when I compared in 

my mind this pale and weeping woman with the madcap who had made 

fun of me at the Opera Comique。 

     ;You shall not go�察─�I said�察�putting myself in front of the door。 

     ;Why�拭─�

     ;Because�察�in   spite of what   you   have done to   me�察�I   love   you   always�察�

and I want you to stay here。; 

     ;To   turn   me   out   to´morrow�拭  �No�察  �it   is   impossible。   Our   destinies   are 

separate�察�do not try to reunite them。 You will despise me perhaps�察�while 

now you can only hate me。; 

     ;No�察   �Marguerite�察─    �I  cried�察 �feeling   all  my   love   and   all  my   desire 

reawaken at the contact of this woman。 ;No�察�I will forget everything�察�and 

we will be happy as we promised one another that we would be。; 

     Marguerite shook her head doubtfully�察�and said�此�

     ;Am I not your slave�察�your dog�拭�Do with me what you will。 Take me�察�I 

am yours。; 

     And throwing off her cloak and hat�察�she flung them on the sofa�察�and 

began     hurriedly   to  undo    the  front  of  her   dress�察 �for�察 �by   one  of  those 

reactions   so   frequent   in   her   malady�察  �the   blood   rushed   to   her   head   and 

stifled her。 A hard�察�dry cough followed。 

     ;Tell my coachman�察─�she said�察 �to go back with the carriage。; 

     I went down myself and sent him away。 When I returned Marguerite 

was lying in front of the fire�察�and her teeth chattered with the cold。 

     I  took    her  in  my    arms。   I  undressed     her�察 �without    her   making     a

movement�察�and carried her�察�icy cold�察�to the bed。 Then I sat beside her and 

tried to warm her with my caresses。 She did not speak a word�察�but smiled 

at me。 

     It was a strange night。 All Marguerite's life seemed to have passed into 

the kisses with which she covered me�察�and I loved her so much that in my 

transports of feverish love I asked myself whether I should not kill her�察�so 

that she might never belong to another。 

     A  month   of   love   like   that�察  �and   there   would   have   remained   only   the 

corpse of heart or body。 

     The dawn found us both awake。 Marguerite was livid white。 She did 

not speak a word。 From time to time�察�big tears rolled from her eyes�察�and 

stayed   upon   her   cheeks�察  �shining   like   diamonds。   Her   thin   arms   opened�察�

from time to time�察�to hold me fast�察�and fell back helplessly upon the bed。 

     For a moment it seemed to me as if I could forget all that had passed 

since I had left Bougival�察�and I said to Marguerite�此�

     ;Shall we go away and leave Paris�拭─�

     ;No�察�no� ─�she said�察�almost with affright�察 �we should be too unhappy。 I 

can do no more to make you happy�察�but while there is a breath of life in 

me�察  �I   will   be   the   slave   of   your   fancies。 At   whatever   hour   of   the   day   or 

night you will�察�come�察�and I will be yours�察�but do not link your future any 

more with mine�察�you would be too unhappy and you would make me too 

unhappy。 I   shall   still   be   pretty  for   a   while�察  �make   the   most   of it�察�but  ask 

nothing more。; 

     When she had gone�察�I was frightened at the solitude in which she left 

me。 Two hours afterward I was still sitting on the side of the bed�察�looking 

at the pillow which kept the imprint of her form�察�and asking myself what 

was to become of me�察�between my love and my jealousy。 

     At five o'clock�察�without knowing what I was going to do�察�I went to the 

Rue d'Antin。 

     Nanine opened to me。 

     ;Madame can not receive you�察─�she said in an embarrassed way。 

     ;Why�拭─�

     ;Because M。 le Comte de N。 is there�察�and he has given orders to let no 

one in。; 



                                              166

     ;Quite so�察─�I stammered�察 �I forgot。; 

     I went home like a drunken man�察�and do you know what I did during 

the moment of jealous delirium which was long enough for the shameful 

thing I was going to do�拭�I said to myself that the woman was laughing at 

me�察�I saw her alone with the count�察�saying over to him the same words that 

she had said to me in the night�察�and taking a five´hundred´franc note I sent 

it to her with these words�此�

     ;You went away so suddenly that I forgot to pay you。 Here is the price 

of your night。; 

     Then when the letter was sent I went out as if to free myself from the 

instantaneous remorse of this infamous action。 

     I went to see Olympe�察�whom I found trying on dresses�察�and when we 

were alone she sang obscene songs to amuse me。 She was the very type of 

the shameless�察�heartless�察�senseless courtesan�察�for me at least�察�for perhaps 

some   men   might   have   dreamed   of   her   as   I   dreamed   of   Marguerite。   She 

asked me for money。 I gave it to her�察�and�察�free then to go�察�I returned home。 

     Marguerite had not answered。 

     I need not tell you in what state of agitation I spent the next day。 At 

half past nine a messenger brought me an envelope containing my letter 

and the five´hundred´franc note�察�not a word more。 

     ;Who gave you this�拭─�I asked the man。 

     ;A lady who was starting with her maid in the next mail for Boulogne�察�

and who told me not to take it until the coach was out of the courtyard。; 

     I rushed to the Rue d'Antin。 

     ;Madame left for England at six o'clock�察─�said the porter。 

     There was nothing to hold me in Paris any longer�察�neither hate nor love。 

I was exhausted by this series of shocks。 One of my friends was setting out 

on a tour in the East。 I told my father I should like to accompany him�察�my 

father   gave   me   drafts   and   letters   of   introduction�察  �and   eight   or   ten   days 

afterward I embarked at Marseilles。 

     It   was   at   Alexandria   that   I   learned   from   an   attache   at   the   embassy�察�

whom      I  had   sometimes     seen    at  Marguerite's�察   �that  the  poor    girl  was 

seriously ill。 

     I then wrote her the letter which she answered in the way you know�察�I

received it at Toulon。 

    I started at once�察�and you know the rest。 

    Now you have only to read a few sheets which Julie Duprat gave me�察�

they are the best commentary on what I have just told you。

                              CHAPTER 25 



    Armand�察�tired by this long narrative�察�often interrupted by his tears�察�put 

his two hands over his forehead and closed his eyes to think�察�or to try to 

sleep�察�after giving me the pages written by the hand of Marguerite。 A few 

minutes after�察�a more rapid breathing told me that Armand slept�察�but that 

light sleep which the least sound banishes。 

     This is what I read�察�I copy it without adding or omitting a syllable�此�

     To´day is the 15th December。 I have been ill three or four days。 This 

morning I stayed in bed。 The weather is dark�察�I am sad�察�there is no one by 

me。 I think of you�察�Armand。 And you�察�where are you�察�while I write these 

lines�拭�Far from Paris�察�far�察�far�察�they tell me�察�and perhaps you have already
