This education in love, given by an extremely
ignorant woman, was ablessing.
Hehad not thought once again of his impertinent
suggestion, from themoment in which he had made it.
Madame deRenal was exalted by transports of the
most lofty moral pleasure.
This sound aroused him as the crow of the cock
aroused Saint Peter. Such is, alas, the drawback of an excessive
civilisation.
I dont at all trust your little tutor, Madame
Derville said to heron several occasions. As she spoke to him with extreme
harshness, he burst intotears. If you really want to know what they dothere, I can
ask M. Juliens thoughts were worlds apart from these. What Madame de Renal saidto
him about his age contributed to give him some degree ofself-assurance. It is not
their talents that would prove anobstacle.
It is the timidity of love in aman of
parts!
Madame de Renal leaned upon his arm, bending
towards him until hercheek felt the warmth of his. The Mayor sent for him at five
oclock in the morning. All her virtue returned, for her love was in
eclipse.
She saw herself as happy in ten years time as she
was at that moment. All her virtue returned, for her love was in eclipse. Julien no
longer dared give himself up freely to his dreams. Madame de Renal sent them all
packing at once.
After which he could findno objection to his
happiness. The following morning, in the drawing-room, Madame de Renal was alonewith
him for a moment.
The clergy must be presentin full force, and this
was the most difficult thing to arrange; M.
No purpose was apparent in all this behaviour.
Hisabsence had caused his clumsiness to be forgotten. And yet nothing could have
embarrassed himso much as success. Forced to return to the latter: What do I know of
this womanscharacter?
Hesaw himself arrived at the moment of the most
distressing event.
But, beside herself with impatience, she rose
andwent to glue her ear to Juliens door. She saw in it the effect of a charming
candour.
A moment later, she was admiring him as hermaster.
It might be heldto constitute a claim to the place of Principal Deputy. Such is,
alas, the drawback of an excessive civilisation. Have Ifailed in one of the duties I
owe to myself?
It might be heldto constitute a claim to the place
of Principal Deputy. This action completely nonplussed the poor woman; shesaw in it
an indication of her fate. What our hero lacked was the courage to be sincere.
