youth。 Leave Paris。 Come and stay for a month or two with your sister and 

me。 Rest in our quiet family affection will soon heal you of this fever�察�for 

it is nothing else。 Meanwhile�察�your mistress will console herself�察�she will 

take another lover�察�and when you see what it is for which you have all but 

broken with your father�察�and all but lost his love�察�you will tell me that I 

have done well to come and seek you out�察�and you will thank me for it。 

Come�察�you will go with me�察�Armand�察�will you not�拭─�I felt that my father 

would be right if it had been any other woman�察�but I was convinced that he 

was wrong with regard to Marguerite。 Nevertheless�察�the tone in which he 

said these last words was so kind�察�so appealing�察�that I dared not answer。 

     ;Well�拭─�said he in a trembling voice。 

     ;Well�察�father�察�I can promise nothing�察─�I said at last�察 �what you ask of 

me is   beyond   my power。  Believe   me�察─�I   continued�察 �seeing him  make   an 

impatient      movement�察       �you    exaggerate      the   effects   of   this   liaison。 

Marguerite is a different kind of a woman from what you think。 This love�察�

far from leading me astray�察�is capable�察�on the contrary�察�of setting me in the 

right direction。 Love always makes a man better�察�no matter what woman 

inspires it。 If you knew Marguerite�察�you would understand that I am in no 

danger。    She    is  as  noble   as  the  noblest   of   women。     There   is  as  much 

disinterestedness in her as there is cupidity in others。; 

     ;All of which does not prevent her from accepting the whole of your 

fortune�察   �for  the   sixty  thousand     francs   which    come    to  you   from   your 

mother�察  �and   which   you   are   giving   her�察  �are�察  �understand   me   well�察  �your 

whole fortune。; 

     My father had probably kept this peroration and this threat for the last 

stroke。 I was firmer before these threats than before his entreaties。 

     ;Who told you that I was handing this sum to her�拭─�I asked。 

     ;My solicitor。 Could an honest man carry out such a procedure without 

warning      me�拭  �Well�察  �it  is  to  prevent   you    from   ruining    yourself   for  a 

prostitute   that   I   am   now   in   Paris。 Your   mother�察  �when   she   died�察  �left   you 

enough to live on respectably�察�and not to squander on your mistresses。; 

     ;I swear to you�察�father�察�that Marguerite knew nothing of this transfer。; 

     ;Why�察�then�察�do you make it�拭─�

     ;Because Marguerite�察�the woman you calumniate�察�and whom you wish

me to abandon�察 �is sacrificing all   that she   possesses in order   to live   with 

me。; 

     ;And   you   accept   this   sacrifice�拭  �What   sort   of   a   man   are   you�察  �sir�察  �to 

allow Mlle。 Gautier to sacrifice anything for you�拭�Come�察�enough of this。 

You will leave this woman。 Just now I begged you�察�now I command you。 I 

will have no   such scandalous   doings  in   my   family。  Pack   up   your   things 

and get ready to come with me。; 

     ;Pardon me�察�father�察─�I said�察 �but I shall not come。; 

     ;And why�拭─�

     ;Because I am at an age when no one any longer obeys a command。; 

     My father turned pale at my answer。 

     ;Very well�察�sir�察─�he said�察 �I know what remains to be done。; 

     He rang and Joseph appeared。 

     ;Have my things taken to the Hotel de Paris�察─�he said to my servant。 

And     thereupon    he   went   to  his  room   and    finished   dressing。   When     he 

returned�察�I went up to him。 

     ;Promise      me�察  �father�察─ �I  said�察   �that  you   will   do   nothing    to  give 

Marguerite pain�拭─�

     My  father  stopped�察  �looked   at   me   disdainfully�察 �and   contented   himself 

with saying�察 �I believe you are mad。; After this he went out�察�shutting the 

door violently after him。 

     I went downstairs�察�took a cab�察�and returned to Bougival。 

     Marguerite was waiting for me at the window。

                               CHAPTER 21 



     ;At last you have come�察─�she said�察�throwing her arms round my neck。 

;But how pale you are� ─�

     I told her of the scene with my father。 

     ;My God� �I was afraid of it�察─�she said。 ;When Joseph came to tell you 

of   your   father's   arrival   I   trembled   as   if   he   had   brought   news   of   some 

misfortune。 My poor friend�察�I am the cause of all your distress。 You will be 

better off�察�perhaps�察�if you leave me and do not quarrel with your father on 

my account。 He knows that you are sure to have a mistress�察�and he ought 

to be thankful that it is I�察�since I love you and do not want more of you 

than   your   position   allows。   Did   you   tell   him   how   we   had   arranged   our 

future�拭─�

     ;Yes�察  �that   is   what   annoyed   him   the   most�察  �for   he   saw   how   much   we 

really love one another。; 

     ;What are we to do�察�then�拭─�

     ;Hold together�察�my good Marguerite�察�and let the storm pass over。; 

     ;Will it pass�拭─�

     ;It will have to。; 

     ;But your father will not stop there。; 

     ;What do you suppose he can do�拭─�

     ;How do I know�拭�Everything that a father can do to make his son obey 

him。   He   will   remind   you   of   my   past   life�察  �and   will   perhaps   do   me   the 

honour of inventing some new story�察�so that you may give me up。; 

     ;You know that I love you。; 

     ;Yes�察�but   what I know�察�too�察 �is   that�察�sooner or later�察 �you will have   to 

obey your father�察�and perhaps you will end by believing him。; 

     ;No�察�Marguerite。 It is I who will make him believe me。 Some of his 

friends have been telling him tales which have made him angry�察�but he is 

good and just�察�he will change his first impression�察�and then�察�after all�察�what 

does it matter to me�拭─�

     ;Do not say that�察�Armand。 I would rather anything should happen than 

that   you   should   quarrel   with   your   family�察  �wait   till   after   to´day�察  �and   to´ 

morrow go back to Paris。 Your father�察�too�察�will have thought it over on his

side�察�and perhaps you will both come to a better understanding。 Do not go 

against his principles�察�pretend to make some concessions to what he wants�察�

seem not to care so very much about me�察�and he will let things remain as 

they are。 Hope�察�my friend�察�and be sure of one thing�察�that whatever happens�察�

Marguerite will always be yours。; 

     ;You swear it�拭─�

     ;Do I need to swear it�拭─�

     How sweet it is to let oneself be persuaded by the voice that one loves� �

Marguerite and I spent the whole day in talking over our projects for the 

future�察�as if we felt the need of realizing them as quickly as possible。 At 

every     moment     we   awaited    some     event�察  �but  the   day   passed    without 

bringing us any new tidings。 

    Next day I left at ten o'clock�察�and reached the hotel about twelve。 My 

father had gone out。 

     I went to my own rooms�察�hoping that he had perhaps gone there。 No 

one had called。 I went to the solicitor's。 No one was there。 I went back to 

the hotel�察�and waited till six。 M。 Duval did not return�察�and I went back to 

Bougival。 

     I found Marguerite not waiting for me�察�as she had been the day before�察�

but sitting by the fire�察�which the weather still made necessary。 She was so 

absorbed in her thoughts that I came close to her chair without her hearing 

me。   When   I   put   my   lips   to   her   forehead   she   started   as   if   the   kiss   had 

suddenly awakened her。 

     ;You frightened me�察─�she said。 ;And your father�拭─�

     ;I have not seen him。 I do not know what it means。 He was not at his 

hotel�察�nor anywhere where there was a chance of my finding him。; 

     ;Well�察�you must try again to´morrow。; 

     ;I am very much inclined to wait till he sends for me。 I think I have 

done all that can be expected of me。; 

     ;No�察�my friend�察�it is not enough�察�you must call on your father again�察�

and you must call to´morrow。; 

     ;Why to´morrow rather than any other day�拭─�

     ;Because�察─  �said   Marguerite�察  �and   it   seemed   to   me   that   she   blushed 

slightly at this question�察 �because it will show that you are the more keen 



                                              140

about it�察�and he will forgive us the sooner。; 

     For the remainder of the day  Marguerite was sad and preoccupied。  I 

had to repeat twice over everything I said to her to obtain an answer。 She 

ascribed this   preoccupation   to   her   anxiety  in   regard   to   the   events   which 

had happened during the last two days。 I spent the night in reassuring her�察�

and she sent me away in the morning with an insistent disquietude that I 

could not explain to myself。 

     Again my father was absent�察�but he had left this letter for me�此�

     ;If you call again to´day�察�wait for me till four。 If I am not in by four�察�

come and dine with me to´morrow。 I must see you。; 

     I waited till the hour he had named�察�but he did not appear。 I returned to 

Bougival。 

     The   night   before   I  had   found   Marguerite   sad�察  �that   night   I   found   her 

feverish and agitated。 On seeing me�察�she flung her arms around my neck�察�

but she cried for a long time in my arms。 I questioned her as to this sudden 

distress�察  �which   alarmed   me   by   its   violence。   She   gave   me   no   positive 

reason�察�but put me off with those evasions which a woman resorts to when 

she will not tell the truth。 

     When she was a little calmed down�察�I told her the result of my visit�察�

and I showed her my father's letter�察  �from which�察�I said�察�we might   augur 

well。 At the sight of the letter and on hearing my comment�察�her tears began 

to flow so copiously that I feared an attack of nerves�察�and�察�calling Nanine�察�

I put her to bed�察�where she wept without a word�察�but held my hands and 

kissed them every moment。 

     I asked Nanine if�察�during my absence�察�her mistress had received any 

letter or visit which could account for the state in which I found her�察�but 

Nanine replied that no one had called and nothing had been sent。 

     Something�察  �however�察  �had   occurred   since   the   day   before�察  �something 

which troubled me the more because Marguerite concealed it from me。 

     In the   evening   she   seemed   a   little   calmer�察  �and�察  �making   me   sit   at the
