^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。

ovelists should never allow themselves to weary of the
Nstudy of real life。 If they observed this duty
conscientiously�察 �they would give us fewer pictures
chequered with vivid contrasts of light and shade�察 �they would
seldom elevate their heroes and heroines to the heights of
rapture!still seldomer sink them to the depths of despair�察 �for if
we rarely taste the fulness of joy in this life�察 �we yet more rarely
savour the acrid bitterness of hopeless anguish�察�unless�察�indeed�察�we
have plunged like beasts into sensual indulgence�察 �abused�察�
strained�察 �stimulated�察 �again overstrained�察 �and�察 �at last�察 �destroyed
our faculties for enjoyment�察 �then�察 �truly�察 �we may find ourselves
without support�察�robbed of hope。 Our agony is great�察�and how can
it end�拭�We have broken the spring of our powers�察�life must be all
suffering!too feeble to conceive faith!death must be darkness!
God�察 �spirits�察 �religion can have no place in our collapsed minds�察�
where linger only hideous and polluting recollections of vice�察�and
time brings us on to the brink of the grave�察�and dissolution flings
us in!a rag eaten through and through with disease�察 �wrung
together with pain�察 �stamped into the churchyard sod by the
inexorable heel of despair。
But the man of regular life and rational mind never despairs。
He loses his property!it is a blow!he staggers a moment�察 �then�察�
his energies�察�roused by the smart�察�are at work to seek a remedy�察�
activity soon mitigates regret。 Sickness affects him�察 �he takes
patience!endures what he cannot cure。 Acute pain racks him�察�his
