     ;At last�察─�cried Marguerite�察�coming back�察 �he has gone� �That man gets 

frightfully on my nerves� ─�

     ;My dear child�察─�said Prudence�察 �you really treat him too badly�察�and he 

is so good and kind to you。 Look at this watch on the mantel´piece�察�that he 

gave you�此�it must have cost him at least three thousand francs�察�I am sure。; 

     And   Mme。   Duvernoy   began   to   turn   it   over�察  �as   it   lay   on   the   mantel´ 

piece�察�looking at it with covetous eyes。 

     ;My dear�察─�said Marguerite�察�sitting down to the piano�察 �when I put on 

one side what he gives me and on the other what he says to me�察�it seems to 

me that he buys his visits very cheap。; 

     ;The poor fellow is in love with you。; 

     ;If I had to listen to everybody who was in love with me�察�I shouldn't 

have time for my dinner。;

     And she began to run her fingers over the piano�察�and then�察�turning to 

us�察�she said�此�

     ;What will you take�拭�I think I should like a little punch。; 

     ;And I   could   eat   a   little chicken�察─�said   Prudence。  ;Suppose   we have 

supper�拭─�

     ;That's it�察�let's go and have supper�察─�said Gaston。 

     ;No�察�we will have supper here。; 

     She rang�察�and Nanine appeared。 

     ;Send for some supper。; 

     ;What must I get�拭─�

     ;Whatever you like�察�but at once�察�at once。; 

     Nanine went out。 

     ;That's it�察─�said Marguerite�察�jumping like a child�察 �we'll have supper。 

How tiresome that idiot of a count is� ─�

     The more I saw her�察�the more she enchanted me。 She was exquisitely 

beautiful。 Her slenderness was a charm。 I was lost in contemplation。 

     What     was    passing    in  my   mind     I  should   have    some    difficulty   in 

explaining。 I was full of indulgence for her life�察�full of admiration for her 

beauty。 The proof of disinterestedness that she gave in not accepting a rich 

and    fashionable     young    man�察   �ready    to  waste   all  his  money     upon    her�察�

excused her in my eyes for all her faults in the past。 

     There  was   a kind   of   candour in   this   woman。 You   could   see she  was 

still   in   the   virginity   of   vice。   Her   firm   walk�察  �her   supple   figure�察  �her   rosy�察�

open   nostrils�察  �her   large   eyes�察  �slightly   tinged   with   blue�察  �indicated   one   of 

those ardent natures which sbed around them a sort of voluptuous perfume�察�

like Eastern vials�察�which�察�close them as tightly as you will�察�still let some of 

their perfume escape。 Finally�察�whether it was simple nature or a breath of 

fever�察�there passed from time to time in the eyes of this woman a glimmer 

of desire�察�giving promise of a very heaven for one whom she should love。 

But   those   who   had   loved   Marguerite   were   not   to   be   counted�察  �nor   those 

whom she had loved。 

     In   this   girl   there   was   at   once   the   virgin   whom   a   mere   nothing   had 

turned   into   a   courtesan�察  �and   the   courtesan   whom   a   mere   nothing   would 

have turned into the most loving and the purest of virgins。 Marguerite had 



                                                55

still pride and independence�察�two sentiments which�察�if they are wounded�察�

can be the equivalent of a sense of shame。 I did not speak a word�察�my soul 

seemed to have passed into my heart and my heart into my eyes。 

     ;So�察─�said she all at once�察 �it was you who came to inquire after me 

when I was ill�拭─�

     ;Yes。; 

     ;Do you know�察�it was quite splendid of you� �How can I thank you for 

it�拭─�

     ;By allowing me to come and see you from time to time。; 

     ;As   often   as   you   like�察  �from   five   to   six�察  �and   from   eleven   to   twelve。 

Now�察�Gaston�察�play the Invitation A la Valse。; 

     ;Why�拭─�

     ;To   please   me�察  �first   of   all�察  �and   then   because   I   never   can   manage   to 

play it myself。; 

     ;What part do you find difficult�拭─�

     ;The   third   part�察  �the   part   in   sharps。; Gaston   rose   and   went   to   the 

piano�察  �and   began   to   play   the   wonderful   melody   of   Weber�察  �the   music   of 

which stood open before him。 

     Marguerite�察�resting one hand on the piano�察�followed every note on the 

music�察�accompanying it in a low voice�察�and when Gaston had come to the 

passage which she had mentioned to him�察�she sang out�察�running her fingers 

along the top of the piano�此�

     ;Do�察�re�察�mi�察�do�察�re�察�fa�察�mi�察�re�察�that is what I can not do。 Over again。; 

     Gaston began over again�察�after which Marguerite said�此�

     ;Now�察�let me try。; 

     She took her place and began to play�察�but her rebellious fingers always 

came to grief over one of the notes。 

     ;Isn't   it   incredible�察─  �she   said�察  �exactly   like   a   child�察   �that   I   can   not 

succeed   in   playing   that   passage�拭  �Would   you   believe   that   I   sometimes 

spend two hours of the morning over it�拭�And when I think that that idiot of 

a count plays it without his music�察�and beautifully�察�I really believe it is that 

that makes me so furious with him。; And she began again�察�always with the 

same result。 

     ;The   devil   take   Weber�察  �music�察  �and   pianos� ─  �she   cried�察  �throwing   the 



                                                56

music to the other end of the room。 ;How can I play eight sharps one after 

another�拭─�She   folded her   arms and   looked   at us�察 �stamping her   foot。 The 

blood flew to her cheeks�察�and her lips half opened in a slight cough。 

     ;Come�察  �come�察─  �said   Prudence�察  �who   had   taken   off   her   hat   and   was 

smoothing her hair before the glass�察 �you will work yourself into a rage 

and   do   yourself   harm。   Better   come   and   have   supper�察  �for   my   part�察  �I   am 

dying of hunger。; 

     Marguerite   rang   the   bell�察  �sat   down   to   the   piano   again�察  �and   began   to 

hum   over   a   very   risky   song�察  �which   she   accompanied   without   difficulty。 

Gaston knew the song�察�and they gave a sort of duet。 

     ;Don't sing those beastly things�察─�I said to Marguerite�察�imploringly。 

     ;Oh�察�how proper you are� ─�she said�察�smiling and giving me her hand。 

;It is not for myself�察�but for you。; 

     Marguerite made a gesture as if to say�察 �Oh�察�it is long since that I have 

done with propriety� ─�At that moment Nanine appeared。 

     ;Is supper ready�拭─�asked Marguerite。 ;Yes�察�madame�察�in one moment。; 

     ;Apropos�察─�said Prudence to me�察 �you have not looked round�察�come�察�

and I will show you。; As you know�察�the drawing´room was a marvel。 

     Marguerite   went   with   us   for   a   moment�察  �then   she   called   Gaston   and 

went into the dining´room with him to see if supper was ready。 

     ;Ah�察─�said Prudence�察�catching sight of a little Saxe figure on a side´ 

table�察 �I never knew you had this little gentleman。; 

     ;Which�拭─�

     ;A little shepherd holding a bird´cage。; 

     ;Take it�察�if you like it。; 

           ;I won't deprive you of it。; 

     ;I was going to give it to my maid。 I think it hideous�察�but if you like it�察�

take it。; 

     Prudence only saw the present�察�not the way in which it was given。 She 

put the little figure on one side�察�and took me into the dressing´room�察�where 

she showed me two miniatures hanging side by side�察�and said�此�

     ;That is the Comte de G。�察�who was very much in love with Marguerite�察�

it was he who brought her out。 Do you know him�拭─�

     ;No。 And this one�拭─�I inquired�察�pointing to the other miniature。 



                                               57

     ;That is the little Vicomte de L。 He was obliged to disappear。; 

     ;Why�拭─�

     ;Because   he   was   all   but   ruined。   That's   one�察  �if   you   like�察  �who   loved 

Marguerite。; 

     ;And she loved him�察�too�察�no doubt�拭─�

     ;She is such a queer girl�察�one never knows。 The night he went away 

she went to the theatre as usual�察�and yet she had cried when he said good´ 

bye to her。; 

     Just then Nanine appeared�察�to tell us that supper was served。 

     When we entered the dining´room�察�Marguerite was leaning against the 

wall�察�and Gaston�察�holding her hands�察�was speaking to her in a low voice。 

     ;You are mad�察─�replied Marguerite。 ;You know quite well that I don't 

want you。 It is no good at the end of two years to make love to a woman 

like me。 With us�察�it is at once�察�or never。 Come�察�gentlemen�察�supper� ─�

     And�察�slipping away from Gaston�察�Marguerite made him sit on her right 

at table�察�me on her left�察�then called to Nanine�此�

     ;Before you sit down�察�tell them in the kitchen not to open to anybody 

if there is a ring。; 

     This order was given at one o'clock in the morning。 

     We laughed�察�drank�察�and ate freely at this supper。 In a short while mirth 

had reached its last limit�察�and the words that seem funny to a certain class 

of people�察�words that degrade the mouth that utters them�察�were heard from 

time    to   time�察  �amidst    the   applause     of  Nanine�察    �of   Prudence�察    �and   of 

Marguerite。 Gaston   was thoroughly  amused�察�he   was   a very  good   sort of 

fellow�察�but somewhat spoiled by the habits of his youth。 For a moment I 

tried   to   forget   myself�察  �to   force   my   heart   and   my   thoughts   to   become 

indifferent   to   the   sight   before   me�察  �and   to   take   my   share   of   that   gaiety 

which   seemed   like   one   of   the   courses   of   the   meal。   But   little   by   little   I 

withdrew from the noise�察�my glass remained full�察�and I felt almost sad as I 

saw   this   beautiful   creature   of   twenty  drinking�察 �talking   like   a   porter�察  �and 

laughing the more loudly the more scandalous was the joke。 

     Nevertheless�察  �this   hilarity�察  �this   way   of   talking   and   drinking�察  �which 

seemed   to   me   in   the   others   the   mere   results   of   bad   company   or   of   bad 

habits�察�seemed in Marguerite a necessity of forgetting�察�a fever�察�a nervous

irritability。 At   every   glass   of   champagne   her   cheeks   would   flush   with   a 

feverish colour�察�and a cough�察�hardly perceptible at the beginning of supper�察�

became at last so violent that she was obliged to lean her head on the back 

of her chair and hold her chest in her hands every time that she coughed。 I 

suffered at the thought of the injury to so frail a constitution which must 

come   from   daily   excesses   like   this。   At   length�察  �something   which   I   had
