But

the

"
The
law
,
religion
...
What
have
they
been
invented
for
if
they
ca
n't
arrange
that
?
"
said
Hélène
.
The
prince
was
surprised
that
so
simple
an
idea
had
not
occurred
to
him
,
and
he
applied
for
advice
to
the
holy
brethren
of
the
Society
of
Jesus
,
with
whom
he
was
on
intimate
terms
.

A
few
days
later
at
one
of
those
enchanting
fetes
which
Hélène
gave
at
her
country
house
on
the
Stone
Island
,
the
charming
Monsieur
de
Jobert
,
a
man
no
longer
young
,
with
snow
white
hair
and
brilliant
black
eyes
,
a
Jesuit
à
robe
courte
*
was
presented
to
her
,
and
in
the
garden
by
the
light
of
the
illuminations
and
to
the
sound
of
music
talked
to
her
for
a
long
time
of
the
love
of
God
,
of
Christ
,
of
the
Sacred
Heart
,
and
of
the
consolations
the
one
true
Catholic
religion
affords
in
this
world
and
the
next
.
Hélène
was
touched
,
and
more
than
once
tears
rose
to
her
eyes
and
to
those
of
Monsieur
de
Jobert
and
their
voices
trembled
.
A
dance
,
for
which
her
partner
came
to
seek
her
,
put
an
end
to
her
discourse
with
her
future
directeur
de
conscience
,
but
the
next
evening
Monsieur
de
Jobert
came
to
see
Hélène
when
she
was
alone
,
and
after
that
often
came
again
.
*
Lay
member
of
the
Society
of
Jesus
.
One
day
he
took
the
countess
to
a
Roman
Catholic
church
,
where
she
knelt
down
before
the
altar
to
which
she
was
led
.
The
enchanting
,
middle-aged
Frenchman
laid
his
hands
on
her
head
and
,
as
she
herself
afterward
described
it
,
she
felt
something
like
a
fresh
breeze
wafted
into
her
soul
.
It
was
explained
to
her
that
this
was
la
grâce
.
After
that
a
long-frocked
abbé
was
brought
to
her
.
She
confessed
to
him
,
and
he
absolved
her
from
her
sins
.
Next
day
she
received
a
box
containing
the
Sacred
Host
,
which
was
left
at
her
house
for
her
to
partake
of
.

A
few
days
later
Hélène
learned
with
pleasure
that
she
had
now
been
admitted
to
the
true
Catholic
Church
and
that
in
a
few
days
the
Pope
himself
would
hear
of
her
and
would
send
her
a
certain
document
.
All
that
was
done
around
her
and
to
her
at
this
time
,
all
the
attention
devoted
to
her
by
so
many
clever
men
and
expressed
in
such
pleasant
,
refined
ways
,
and
the
state
of
dove-like
purity
she
was
now
in
(
she
wore
only
white
dresses
and
white
ribbons
all
that
time
)
gave
her
pleasure
,
but
her
pleasure
did
not
cause
her
for
a
moment
to
forget
her
aim
.
And
as
it
always
happens
in
contests
of
cunning
that
a
stupid
person
gets
the
better
of
cleverer
ones
,
Hélène
--
having
realized
that
the
main
object
of
all
these
words
and
all
this
trouble
was
,
after
converting
her
to
Catholicism
,
to
obtain
money
from
her
for
Jesuit
institutions
(
as
to
which
she
received
indications
)
--
before
parting
with
her
money
insisted
that
the
various
operations
necessary
to
free
her
from
her
husband
should
be
performed
.
In
her
view
the
aim
of
every
religion
was
merely
to
preserve
certain
proprieties
while
affording
satisfaction
to
human
desires
.
And
with
this
aim
,
in
one
of
her
talks
with
her
Father
Confessor
,
she
insisted
on
an
answer
to
the
question
,
in
how
far
was
she
bound
by
her
marriage
?
They
were
sitting
in
the
twilight
by
a
window
in
the
drawing
room
.
The
scent
of
flowers
came
in
at
the
window
.
Hélène
was
wearing
a
white
dress
,
transparent
over
her
shoulders
and
bosom
.
