    ^Go on。 ̄ said I�察�and I could hardly help smiling�察�the flattery was 

so   piquant�察  �so   finely   seasoned。   She   caught   the   prohibited   smile�察�

though I passed my hand over my month to conceal it�察�and again 

she made room for me to sit beside her。 I shook my head�察�though 

temptation       penetrated      to   my  senses    at  the   moment�察     �and    once 

more I told her to go on。

    ^Well�察�then�察�if ever you are at the head of a large establishment�察�

dismiss nobody。 To speak truth�察�monsieur ��and to you I will speak 

truth���察�I despise   people   who  are always making  rows�察  �blustering�察�

sending   off   one   to   the   right�察  �and   another   to   the   left�察  �urging   and 

hurrying      circumstances。       I¨ll  tell  you   what    I  like  best    to  do�察�

monsieur�察�shall I�拭院�She looked up again�察�she had compounded her 

glance   well   this   time!much   archness�察  �more           deference�察   �a   spicy 

dash of coquetry�察�an unveiled consciousness of capacity。 I nodded�察�

she treated me like the great Mogul�察�so I became the great Mogul 

as far as she was concerned。 

    ^I   like�察  �monsieur�察  �to   take   my  knitting   in   my   hands�察  �and   to   sit 

quietly  down   in   my   chair�察  �circumstances   defile   past  me�察  �I   watch 

their march�察�so long as they follow the course I wish�察�I say nothing�察�

and do nothing�察  �I   don¨t  clap  my  hands�察  �and cry  out  `Bravo�  �How 

lucky I am� � to attract the attention and envy of my neighbours!I 

am      merely     passive�察    �but    when      events     fall   out    ill!when 

circumstances become adverse!I watch very vigilantly�察�I knit on 

still�察�and still I hold my tongue�察�but every now and then�察�monsieur�察�

I just put my toe out!so!and give the rebellious circumstance a 

little secret push�察�without noise�察�which sends it the way I wish�察�and 

I am successful after all�察�and nobody  has   seen   my  expedient。   So�察�

when   teachers   or   masters   become   troublesome   and   inefficient! 

when�察�in short�察�the interests of the school would suffer from their 

retaining      their   places!I     mind     my    knitting�察   �events    progress�察�

circumstances glide past�察�I see one which�察�if pushed ever so little 

awry�察�will render untenable the post I wish to  have   vacated!the 

deed is done!the stumbling´block removed!and no one saw me�此�

I have not made an enemy�察�I am rid of an incumbrance。 ̄

concluded�察�I looked on her with distaste。 ^Just like you�察院�was my 

cold answer。 ^And in this way you have ousted Mdlle Henri�拭�You 

wanted her office�察�therefore you rendered it intolerable to her�拭院�

    ^Not at all�察�monsieur�察�I was merely anxious about Mdlle Henri¨s 

health�察  �no�察  �your   moral   sight   is   clear   and   piercing�察  �but   there   you 

have failed to discover the truth。 I took!I have always taken a real 

interest in Mdlle Henri¨s welfare�察�I did not like her going out in all 

weathers�察  �I   thought   it   would     be   more    advantageous       for   her   to 

obtain     a  permanent       situation�察   �besides�察   �I  considered      her   now 

qualified to do something more than teach sewing。 I reasoned with 

her�察  �left   the   decision   to   herself�察  �she   saw   the   correctness   of   my 

views�察�and adopted them。 ̄ 

    ^Excellent� �and now�察�mademoiselle�察�you will have the goodness 

to give me her address。 ̄ 

    ^Her address� 院�and a sombre and stony change came over the 

mien  of   the   directress。   ^Her   address�拭 �Ah�拭�well!I   wish   I   could 

oblige     you�察  �monsieur�察    �but   I  cannot�察    �and   I  will  tell  you    why�察�

whenever  I   myself asked   her  for  her  address�察  �she always   evaded 

the inquiry。 I thought!I may be wrong!but I thought her motive 

for    doing    so�察 �was    a   natural�察   �though     mistaken      reluctance     to 

introduce me to some�察�probably�察�very poor abode�察�her means were 

narrow�察�her origin obscure�察�she lives somewhere�察�doubtless�察�in the 

`basse ville。¨ ̄ 

     ^I¨ll   not   lose   sight   of   my   best   pupil   yet�察院  �said   I�察   �though   she 

were   born   of   beggars   and   lodged   in   a   cellar�察  �for   the   rest�察  �it   is 

absurd to make a bugbear of her origin to me!I happen to know 

that she was a Swiss pastor¨s daughter�察�neither more nor less�察�and�察�

as to her narrow means�察�I care nothing for the poverty of her purse 

so long as her heart overflows with affluence。 ̄

    ^Your      sentiments        are   perfectly      noble�察   �monsieur�察院       �said   the 

directress�察�affecting to suppress a yawn�察�her sprightliness was now 

extinct�察  �her   temporary   candour   shut   up�察  �the   little�察  �red´coloured�察�

piratical´looking   pennon   of   audacity   she   had   allowed   to   float   a 

minute   in   the   air�察  �was   furled�察  �and   the   broad�察  �sober´hued   flag   of 

dissimulation   again   hung   low   over   the   citadel。   I   did   not   like   her 

thus�察�so I cut short the t┷te´┐´t┷te and departed。

seldom      elevate     their   heroes     and    heroines     to   the   heights    of
