I
almost
expected
a
rebuff
for
this
hardly
well-timed
question
,
but
,
on
the
contrary
,
waking
out
of
his
scowling
abstraction
,
he
turned
his
eyes
towards
me
,
and
the
shade
seemed
to
clear
off
his
brow
.
"
Oh
,
I
had
forgotten
Celine
!
Well
,
to
resume
.
When
I
saw
my
charmer
thus
come
in
accompanied
by
a
cavalier
,
I
seemed
to
hear
a
hiss
,
and
the
green
snake
of
jealousy
,
rising
on
undulating
coils
from
the
moonlit
balcony
,
glided
within
my
waistcoat
,
and
ate
its
way
in
two
minutes
to
my
heart
's
core
.
Strange
!
"
he
exclaimed
,
suddenly
starting
again
from
the
point
.
"
Strange
that
I
should
choose
you
for
the
confidant
of
all
this
,
young
lady
;
passing
strange
that
you
should
listen
to
me
quietly
,
as
if
it
were
the
most
usual
thing
in
the
world
for
a
man
like
me
to
tell
stories
of
his
opera-mistresses
to
a
quaint
,
inexperienced
girl
like
you
!
But
the
last
singularity
explains
the
first
,
as
I
intimated
once
before
:
you
,
with
your
gravity
,
considerateness
,
and
caution
were
made
to
be
the
recipient
of
secrets
.
Besides
,
I
know
what
sort
of
a
mind
I
have
placed
in
communication
with
my
own
:
I
know
it
is
one
not
liable
to
take
infection
:
it
is
a
peculiar
mind
:
it
is
a
unique
one
.
Happily
I
do
not
mean
to
harm
it
:
but
,
if
I
did
,
it
would
not
take
harm
from
me
.
The
more
you
and
I
converse
,
the
better
;
for
while
I
can
not
blight
you
,
you
may
refresh
me
.
"
After
this
digression
he
proceeded
--
"
I
remained
in
the
balcony
.
'
They
will
come
to
her
boudoir
,
no
doubt
,
'
thought
I
:
'
let
me
prepare
an
ambush
.
'
So
putting
my
hand
in
through
the
open
window
,
I
drew
the
curtain
over
it
,
leaving
only
an
opening
through
which
I
could
take
observations
;
then
I
closed
the
casement
,
all
but
a
chink
just
wide
enough
to
furnish
an
outlet
to
lovers
'
whispered
vows
:
then
I
stole
back
to
my
chair
;
and
as
I
resumed
it
the
pair
came
in
.
My
eye
was
quickly
at
the
aperture
.
Celine
's
chamber-maid
entered
,
lit
a
lamp
,
left
it
on
the
table
,
and
withdrew
.
The
couple
were
thus
revealed
to
me
clearly
:
both
removed
their
cloaks
,
and
there
was
'
the
Varens
,
'
shining
in
satin
and
jewels
,
--
my
gifts
of
course
,
--
and
there
was
her
companion
in
an
officer
's
uniform
;
and
I
knew
him
for
a
young
roue
of
a
vicomte
--
a
brainless
and
vicious
youth
whom
I
had
sometimes
met
in
society
,
and
had
never
thought
of
hating
because
I
despised
him
so
absolutely
.
On
recognising
him
,
the
fang
of
the
snake
Jealousy
was
instantly
broken
;
because
at
the
same
moment
my
love
for
Celine
sank
under
an
extinguisher
.
A
woman
who
could
betray
me
for
such
a
rival
was
not
worth
contending
for
;
she
deserved
only
scorn
;
less
,
however
,
than
I
,
who
had
been
her
dupe
.
"
They
began
to
talk
;
their
conversation
eased
me
completely
:
frivolous
,
mercenary
,
heartless
,
and
senseless
,
it
was
rather
calculated
to
weary
than
enrage
a
listener
.
A
card
of
mine
lay
on
the
table
;
this
being
perceived
,
brought
my
name
under
discussion
.
Neither
of
them
possessed
energy
or
wit
to
belabour
me
soundly
,
but
they
insulted
me
as
coarsely
as
they
could
in
their
little
way
:
especially
Celine
,
who
even
waxed
rather
brilliant
on
my
personal
defects
--
deformities
she
termed
them
.
Now
it
had
been
her
custom
to
launch
out
into
fervent
admiration
of
what
she
called
my
'
beaute
male
:
'
wherein
she
differed
diametrically
from
you
,
who
told
me
point-blank
,
at
the
second
interview
,
that
you
did
not
think
me
handsome
.
The
contrast
struck
me
at
the
time
and
--
"
Adele
here
came
running
up
again
.
"
Monsieur
,
John
has
just
been
to
say
that
your
agent
has
called
and
wishes
to
see
you
.
"
"
Ah
!
in
that
case
I
must
abridge
.
Opening
the
window
,
I
walked
in
upon
them
;
liberated
Celine
from
my
protection
;
gave
her
notice
to
vacate
her
hotel
;
offered
her
a
purse
for
immediate
exigencies
;
disregarded
screams
,
hysterics
,
prayers
,
protestations
,
convulsions
;
made
an
appointment
with
the
vicomte
for
a
meeting
at
the
Bois
de
Boulogne
.
Next
morning
I
had
the
pleasure
of
encountering
him
;
left
a
bullet
in
one
of
his
poor
etiolated
arms
,
feeble
as
the
wing
of
a
chicken
in
the
pip
,
and
then
thought
I
had
done
with
the
whole
crew
.
But
unluckily
the
Varens
,
six
months
before
,
had
given
me
this
filette
Adele
,
who
,
she
affirmed
,
was
my
daughter
;
and
perhaps
she
may
be
,
though
I
see
no
proofs
of
such
grim
paternity
written
in
her
countenance
:
Pilot
is
more
like
me
than
she
.
Some
years
after
I
had
broken
with
the
mother
,
she
abandoned
her
child
,
and
ran
away
to
Italy
with
a
musician
or
singer
.
I
acknowledged
no
natural
claim
on
Adele
's
part
to
be
supported
by
me
,
nor
do
I
now
acknowledge
any
,
for
I
am
not
her
father
;
but
hearing
that
she
was
quite
destitute
,
I
e
'
en
took
the
poor
thing
out
of
the
slime
and
mud
of
Paris
,
and
transplanted
it
here
,
to
grow
up
clean
in
the
wholesome
soil
of
an
English
country
garden
.
Mrs.
Fairfax
found
you
to
train
it
;
but
now
you
know
that
it
is
the
illegitimate
offspring
of
a
French
opera-girl
,
you
will
perhaps
think
differently
of
your
post
and
protegee
:
you
will
be
coming
to
me
some
day
with
notice
that
you
have
found
another
place
--
that
you
beg
me
to
look
out
for
a
new
governess
,
etc.
.
--
Eh
?
"
"
No
:
Adele
is
not
answerable
for
either
her
mother
's
faults
or
yours
:
I
have
a
regard
for
her
;
and
now
that
I
know
she
is
,
in
a
sense
,
parentless
--
forsaken
by
her
mother
and
disowned
by
you
,
sir
--
I
shall
cling
closer
to
her
than
before
.
How
could
I
possibly
prefer
the
spoilt
pet
of
a
wealthy
family
,
who
would
hate
her
governess
as
a
nuisance
,
to
a
lonely
little
orphan
,
who
leans
towards
her
as
a
friend
?
