There

is

,

then

,

the

second

point

cleared

up

,

or

nearly

so

,

"

said

Eugenie

,

without

the

least

confusion

,

and

with

that

masculine

pointedness

which

distinguished

her

gesture

and

her

language

;

"

and

you

appear

satisfied

with

the

explanation

.

Now

,

let

us

return

to

the

first

.

You

ask

me

why

I

have

requested

this

interview

;

I

will

tell

you

in

two

words

,

sir

;

I

will

not

marry

count

Andrea

Cavalcanti

.

"

Danglars

leaped

from

his

chair

and

raised

his

eyes

and

arms

towards

heaven

.

"

Yes

,

indeed

,

sir

,

"

continued

Eugenie

,

still

quite

calm

;

"

you

are

astonished

,

I

see

;

for

since

this

little

affair

began

,

I

have

not

manifested

the

slightest

opposition

,

and

yet

I

am

always

sure

,

when

the

opportunity

arrives

,

to

oppose

a

determined

and

absolute

will

to

people

who

have

not

consulted

me

,

and

things

which

displease

me

.

However

,

this

time

,

my

tranquillity

,

or

passiveness

as

philosophers

say

,

proceeded

from

another

source

;

it

proceeded

from

a

wish

,

like

a

submissive

and

devoted

daughter

"

(

a

slight

smile

was

observable

on

the

purple

lips

of

the

young

girl

)

,

"

to

practice

obedience

.

"

"

Well

?

"

asked

Danglars

.

"

Well

,

sir

,

"

replied

Eugenie

,

"

I

have

tried

to

the

very

last

and

now

that

the

moment

has

come

,

I

feel

in

spite

of

all

my

efforts

that

it

is

impossible

.

"

"

But

,

"

said

Danglars

,

whose

weak

mind

was

at

first

quite

overwhelmed

with

the

weight

of

this

pitiless

logic

,

marking

evident

premeditation

and

force

of

will

,

"

what

is

your

reason

for

this

refusal

,

Eugenie

?

what

reason

do

you

assign

?

"

"

My

reason

?

"

replied

the

young

girl

.

"

Well

,

it

is

not

that

the

man

is

more

ugly

,

more

foolish

,

or

more

disagreeable

than

any

other

;

no

,

M.

Andrea

Cavalcanti

may

appear

to

those

who

look

at

men

's

faces

and

figures

as

a

very

good

specimen

of

his

kind

.

It

is

not

,

either

,

that

my

heart

is

less

touched

by

him

than

any

other

;

that

would

be

a

schoolgirl

's

reason

,

which

I

consider

quite

beneath

me

.

I

actually

love

no

one

,

sir

;

you

know

it

,

do

you

not

?

I

do

not

then

see

why

,

without

real

necessity

,

I

should

encumber

my

life

with

a

perpetual

companion

.

Has

not

some

sage

said

,

'

Nothing

too

much

'

?

and

another

,

'

I

carry

all

my

effects

with

me

'

?

I

have

been

taught

these

two

aphorisms

in

Latin

and

in

Greek

;

one

is

,

I

believe

,

from

Phaedrus

,

and

the

other

from

Bias

.

Well

,

my

dear

father

,

in

the

shipwreck

of

life

--

for

life

is

an

eternal

shipwreck

of

our

hopes

--

I

cast

into

the

sea

my

useless

encumbrance

,

that

is

all

,

and

I

remain

with

my

own

will

,

disposed

to

live

perfectly

alone

,

and

consequently

perfectly

free

.

"

"

Unhappy

girl

,

unhappy

girl

!

"

murmured

Danglars

,

turning

pale

,

for

he

knew

from

long

experience

the

solidity

of

the

obstacle

he

had

so

suddenly

encountered

.
