In
spite
of
all
the
handicap
of
his
everlasting
black
suit
and
of
that
priestly
expression
which
he
must
wear
,
poor
boy
,
if
he
isn
’
t
to
die
of
hunger
,
his
merit
frightens
them
,
nothing
could
be
clearer
.
And
as
for
that
priest
-
like
expression
,
why
he
no
longer
has
it
after
we
have
been
alone
for
some
moments
,
and
after
those
gentlemen
have
evolved
what
they
imagine
to
be
a
subtle
and
impromptu
epigram
,
is
not
their
first
look
towards
Julien
?
I
have
often
noticed
it
.
And
yet
they
know
well
that
he
never
speaks
to
them
unless
he
is
questioned
.
I
am
the
only
one
whom
he
speaks
to
.
He
thinks
I
have
a
lofty
soul
.
He
only
answers
the
points
they
raise
sufficiently
to
be
polite
.
He
immediately
reverts
into
respectfulness
.
But
with
me
he
will
discuss
things
for
whole
hours
,
he
is
not
certain
of
his
ideas
so
long
as
I
find
the
slightest
objection
to
them
.
There
has
not
been
a
single
rifle
-
shot
fired
all
this
winter
;
words
have
been
the
only
means
of
attracting
attention
.
Well
,
my
father
,
who
is
a
superior
man
and
will
carry
the
fortunes
of
our
house
very
far
,
respects
Julien
.
Every
one
else
hates
him
,
no
one
despises
him
except
my
mother
’
s
devout
friends
.
"
The
Comte
de
Caylus
had
or
pretended
to
have
a
great
passion
for
horses
;
he
passed
his
life
in
his
stables
and
often
breakfasted
there
.
This
great
passion
,
together
with
his
habit
of
never
laughing
,
won
for
him
much
respect
among
his
friends
:
he
was
the
eagle
of
the
little
circle
.
As
soon
as
they
had
reassembled
the
following
day
behind
madame
de
la
Mole
’
s
armchair
,
M

Caylus
,
supported
by
Croisenois
and
by
Norbert
,
began
in
Julien
’
s
absence
to
attack
sharply
the
high
opinion
which
Mathilde
entertained
for
Julien
.
He
did
this
without
any
provocation
,
and
almost
the
very
minute
that
he
caught
sight
of
mademoiselle
de
la
Mole
.
She
tumbled
to
the
subtlety
immediately
and
was
delighted
with
it
.
"
So
there
they
are
all
leagued
together
,
"
she
said
to
herself
,
"
against
a
man
of
genius
who
has
not
ten
louis
a
year
to
bless
himself
with
and
who
cannot
answer
them
except
in
so
far
as
he
is
questioned
.
They
are
frightened
of
him
,
black
coat
and
all
.
But
how
would
things
stand
if
he
had
epaulettes
?
"
She
had
never
been
more
brilliant
,
hardly
had
Caylus
and
his
allies
opened
their
attack
than
she
riddled
them
with
sarcastic
jests
.
When
the
fire
of
these
brilliant
officers
was
at
length
extinguished
she
said
to
M
.
de
Caylus
,
"
Suppose
that
some
gentleman
in
the
Franche
-
Comté
mountains
finds
out
to
-
morrow
that
Julien
is
his
natural
son
and
gives
him
a
name
and
some
thousands
of
francs
,
why
in
six
months
he
will
be
an
officer
of
hussars
like
you
,
gentlemen
,
in
six
weeks
he
will
have
moustaches
like
you
gentlemen
.
And
then
his
greatness
of
character
will
no
longer
be
an
object
of
ridicule
.
I
shall
then
see
you
reduced
,
monsieur
the
future
duke
,
to
this
stale
and
bad
argument
,
the
superiority
of
the
court
nobility
over
the
provincial
nobility

But
where
will
you
be
if
I
choose
to
push
you
to
extremities
and
am
mischievous
enough
to
make
Julien
’
s
father
a
Spanish
duke
,
who
was
a
prisoner
of
war
at
Besançon
in
the
time
of
Napoleon

out
of
conscientious
scruples
acknowledges
him
on
his
death

MM
.
de
Caylus
,
and
de
Croisenois
found
all
these
assumptions
of
illegitimacy
in
rather
bad
taste
.
That
was
all
they
saw
in
Mathilde
’
s
reasoning
.
His
sister
’
s
words
were
so
clear
that
Norbert
,
in
spite
of
his
submissiveness
,
assumed
a
solemn
air
,
which
one
must
admit
did
not
harmonise
very
well
with
his
amiable
,
smiling
face
.
He
ventured
to
say
a
few
words
.
"
Are
you
ill
?
my
dear
,
"
answered
Mathilde
with
a
little
air
of
seriousness
.
"
You
must
be
very
bad
to
answer
jests
by
moralizing
.
"
