He
had
vowed
TO
BE
WITH
ME
ON
MY
WEDDING-NIGHT
,
yet
he
did
not
consider
that
threat
as
binding
him
to
peace
in
the
meantime
,
for
as
if
to
show
me
that
he
was
not
yet
satiated
with
blood
,
he
had
murdered
Clerval
immediately
after
the
enunciation
of
his
threats
.
I
resolved
,
therefore
,
that
if
my
immediate
union
with
my
cousin
would
conduce
either
to
hers
or
my
father
's
happiness
,
my
adversary
's
designs
against
my
life
should
not
retard
it
a
single
hour
.
In
this
state
of
mind
I
wrote
to
Elizabeth
.
My
letter
was
calm
and
affectionate
.
"
I
fear
,
my
beloved
girl
,
"
I
said
,
"
little
happiness
remains
for
us
on
earth
;
yet
all
that
I
may
one
day
enjoy
is
centred
in
you
.
Chase
away
your
idle
fears
;
to
you
alone
do
I
consecrate
my
life
and
my
endeavours
for
contentment
.
I
have
one
secret
,
Elizabeth
,
a
dreadful
one
;
when
revealed
to
you
,
it
will
chill
your
frame
with
horror
,
and
then
,
far
from
being
surprised
at
my
misery
,
you
will
only
wonder
that
I
survive
what
I
have
endured
.
I
will
confide
this
tale
of
misery
and
terror
to
you
the
day
after
our
marriage
shall
take
place
,
for
,
my
sweet
cousin
,
there
must
be
perfect
confidence
between
us
.
But
until
then
,
I
conjure
you
,
do
not
mention
or
allude
to
it
.
This
I
most
earnestly
entreat
,
and
I
know
you
will
comply
.
"
In
about
a
week
after
the
arrival
of
Elizabeth
's
letter
we
returned
to
Geneva
.
The
sweet
girl
welcomed
me
with
warm
affection
,
yet
tears
were
in
her
eyes
as
she
beheld
my
emaciated
frame
and
feverish
cheeks
.
I
saw
a
change
in
her
also
.
She
was
thinner
and
had
lost
much
of
that
heavenly
vivacity
that
had
before
charmed
me
;
but
her
gentleness
and
soft
looks
of
compassion
made
her
a
more
fit
companion
for
one
blasted
and
miserable
as
I
was
.
The
tranquillity
which
I
now
enjoyed
did
not
endure
.
Memory
brought
madness
with
it
,
and
when
I
thought
of
what
had
passed
,
a
real
insanity
possessed
me
;
sometimes
I
was
furious
and
burnt
with
rage
,
sometimes
low
and
despondent
.
I
neither
spoke
nor
looked
at
anyone
,
but
sat
motionless
,
bewildered
by
the
multitude
of
miseries
that
overcame
me
.
Elizabeth
alone
had
the
power
to
draw
me
from
these
fits
;
her
gentle
voice
would
soothe
me
when
transported
by
passion
and
inspire
me
with
human
feelings
when
sunk
in
torpor
.
She
wept
with
me
and
for
me
.
When
reason
returned
,
she
would
remonstrate
and
endeavour
to
inspire
me
with
resignation
.
Ah
!
It
is
well
for
the
unfortunate
to
be
resigned
,
but
for
the
guilty
there
is
no
peace
.
The
agonies
of
remorse
poison
the
luxury
there
is
otherwise
sometimes
found
in
indulging
the
excess
of
grief
.
Soon
after
my
arrival
my
father
spoke
of
my
immediate
marriage
with
Elizabeth
.
I
remained
silent
.
"
Have
you
,
then
,
some
other
attachment
?
"
"
None
on
earth
.
I
love
Elizabeth
and
look
forward
to
our
union
with
delight
.
Let
the
day
therefore
be
fixed
;
and
on
it
I
will
consecrate
myself
,
in
life
or
death
,
to
the
happiness
of
my
cousin
.
"
"
My
dear
Victor
,
do
not
speak
thus
.
Heavy
misfortunes
have
befallen
us
,
but
let
us
only
cling
closer
to
what
remains
and
transfer
our
love
for
those
whom
we
have
lost
to
those
who
yet
live
.
Our
circle
will
be
small
but
bound
close
by
the
ties
of
affection
and
mutual
misfortune
.
And
when
time
shall
have
softened
your
despair
,
new
and
dear
objects
of
care
will
be
born
to
replace
those
of
whom
we
have
been
so
cruelly
deprived
.
"
Such
were
the
lessons
of
my
father
.
But
to
me
the
remembrance
of
the
threat
returned
;
nor
can
you
wonder
that
,
omnipotent
as
the
fiend
had
yet
been
in
his
deeds
of
blood
,
I
should
almost
regard
him
as
invincible
,
and
that
when
he
had
pronounced
the
words
"
I
SHALL
BE
WITH
YOU
ON
YOUR
WEDDING-NIGHT
,
"
I
should
regard
the
threatened
fate
as
unavoidable
.
But
death
was
no
evil
to
me
if
the
loss
of
Elizabeth
were
balanced
with
it
,
and
I
therefore
,
with
a
contented
and
even
cheerful
countenance
,
agreed
with
my
father
that
if
my
cousin
would
consent
,
the
ceremony
should
take
place
in
ten
days
,
and
thus
put
,
as
I
imagined
,
the
seal
to
my
fate
.
