We
shall
not
deny
that
she
passed
for
a
fool
in
the
eyes
of
their
good
ladies
because
she
did
not
wheedle
her
husband
,
and
allowed
herself
to
miss
the
most
splendid
opportunities
of
getting
fine
hats
from
Paris
or
Besançon
.
Provided
she
was
allowed
to
wander
in
her
beautiful
garden
,
she
never
complained
.
She
was
a
naïve
soul
,
who
had
never
educated
herself
up
to
the
point
of
judging
her
husband
and
confessing
to
herself
that
he
bored
her
.
She
supposed
,
without
actually
formulating
the
thought
,
that
there
was
no
greater
sweetness
in
the
relationship
between
husband
and
wife
than
she
herself
had
experienced
.
She
loved
M
.
de
Rênal
most
when
he
talked
about
his
projects
for
their
children
.
The
elder
he
had
destined
for
the
army
,
the
second
for
the
law
,
and
the
third
for
the
Church
.
To
sum
up
,
she
found
M
.
de
Rênal
much
less
boring
than
all
the
other
men
of
her
acquaintance
.
This
conjugal
opinion
was
quite
sound
.
The
Mayor
of
Verrières
had
a
reputation
for
wit
,
and
above
all
,
a
reputation
for
good
form
,
on
the
strength
of
half
-
a
-
dozen
"
chestnuts
"
which
he
had
inherited
from
an
uncle
.
Old
Captain
de
Rênal
had
served
,
before
the
Revolution
,
in
the
infantry
regiment
of
M
.
the
Duke
of
Orleans
,
and
was
admitted
to
the
Prince
’
s
salons
when
he
went
to
Paris
.
He
had
seen
Madame
de
Montesson
,
the
famous
Madame
de
Genlis
,
M
.
Ducret
,
the
inventor
,
of
the
Palais
-
Royal
.
These
personages
would
crop
up
only
too
frequently
in
M
.
de
Rênal
’
s
anecdotes
He
found
it
,
however
,
more
and
more
of
a
strain
to
remember
stories
which
required
such
delicacy
in
the
telling
,
and
for
some
time
past
it
had
only
been
on
great
occasions
that
he
would
trot
out
his
anecdotes
concerning
the
House
of
Orleans
.
As
,
moreover
,
he
was
extremely
polite
,
except
on
money
matters
,
he
passed
,
and
justly
so
,
for
the
most
aristocratic
personage
in
Verrières
.
E
sara
mia
colpa
Se
cosi
è
?
—
Machiavelli
.
"
My
wife
really
has
a
head
on
her
shoulders
,
"
said
the
mayor
of
Verrières
at
six
o
’
clock
the
following
morning
,
as
he
went
down
to
the
saw
-
mill
of
Father
Sorel
.
"
It
had
never
occurred
to
me
that
if
I
do
not
take
little
Abbé
Sorel
,
who
,
they
say
,
knows
Latin
like
an
angel
,
that
restless
spirit
,
the
director
of
the
workhouse
,
might
have
the
same
idea
and
snatch
him
away
from
me
,
though
of
course
I
told
her
that
it
had
,
in
order
to
preserve
my
proper
superiority
.
And
how
smugly
,
to
be
sure
,
would
he
talk
about
his
children
’
s
tutor
!
.
.
.
The
question
is
,
once
the
tutor
’
s
mine
,
shall
he
wear
the
cassock
?
"
M
.
de
Rênal
was
absorbed
in
this
problem
when
he
saw
a
peasant
in
the
distance
,
a
man
nearly
six
feet
tall
,
who
since
dawn
had
apparently
been
occupied
in
measuring
some
pieces
of
wood
which
had
been
put
down
alongside
the
Doubs
on
the
towing
-
path
.
The
peasant
did
not
look
particularly
pleased
when
he
saw
M
.
the
Mayor
approach
,
as
these
pieces
of
wood
obstructed
the
road
,
and
had
been
placed
there
in
breach
of
the
rules
.
Father
Sorel
(
for
it
was
he
)
was
very
surprised
,
and
even
more
pleased
at
the
singular
offer
which
M
.
de
Rênal
made
him
for
his
son
Julien
.
None
the
less
,
he
listened
to
it
with
that
air
of
sulky
discontent
and
apathy
which
the
subtle
inhabitants
of
these
mountains
know
so
well
how
to
assume
.
Slaves
as
they
have
been
since
the
time
of
the
Spanish
Conquest
,
they
still
preserve
this
feature
,
which
is
also
found
in
the
character
of
the
Egyptian
fellah
.
Sorel
’
s
answer
was
at
first
simply
a
long
-
winded
recitation
of
all
the
formulas
of
respect
which
he
knew
by
heart
.
While
he
was
repeating
these
empty
words
with
an
uneasy
smile
,
which
accentuated
all
the
natural
disingenuousness
,
if
not
,
indeed
,
knavishness
of
his
physiognomy
,
the
active
mind
of
the
old
peasant
tried
to
discover
what
reason
could
induce
so
important
a
man
to
take
into
his
house
his
good
-
for
-
nothing
of
a
son
.
He
was
very
dissatisfied
with
Julien
,
and
it
was
for
Julien
that
M
.
de
Rênal
offered
the
undreamt
-
of
salary
of
300
fcs
.
a
year
,
with
board
and
even
clothing
.
This
latter
claim
,
which
Father
Sorel
had
had
the
genius
to
spring
upon
the
mayor
,
had
been
granted
with
equal
suddenness
by
M
.
de
Rênal
.
