old    Madame       Pelet。   I  obeyed�察    �but   I  swore     rancorously      to   be 

avenged one day。 ^I¨ll earn a right to do as I please in this matter�察�

or I¨ll die in the contest。 I have one object before me now!to get 

that Genevese girl for my wife�察�and my wife she shall be!that is�察�

provided she has as much�察�or half as much regard for her master 

as he has for her。 And would she be so docile�察�so smiling�察�so happy 

under   my   instructions   if   she   had   not�拭  �would   she   sit   at   my   side 

when   I   dictate   or   correct�察  �with   such   a   still�察 �contented�察    �halcyon 

mien�拭院�for I had ever remarked�察�that however sad or harassed her 

countenance might be when I entered a room�察�yet after I had been 

near  her�察  �spoken   to   her   a   few   words�察  �given   her   some   directions�察�

uttered perhaps some reproofs�察�she would�察�all at once�察�nestle into a 

nook of happiness�察�and look up serene and revived。 The reproofs 

suited her best of all�此�while I scolded she would chip away with her 

pen´knife   at a   pencil   or  a pen�察  �fidgetting  a   little�察  �pouting  a   little�察�

defending   herself   by   monosyllables�察  �and   when   I   deprived   her   of 

the   pen   or   pencil�察  �fearing   it   would   be   all   cut   away�察  �and   when   I 

interdicted      even    the   monosyllabic       defence�察   �for  the   purpose     of 

working  up   the   subdued   excitement  a little   higher�察  �she   would   at 

last  raise   her  eyes and   give   me a   certain   glance�察  �sweetened   with

gaiety�察  �and   pointed   with  defiance�察  �which�察  �to   speak   truth�察  �thrilled 

me as nothing had ever done�察�and made me�察�in a fashion ��though 

happily   she   did   not   know   it���察  �her   subject�察  �if   not   her   slave。   After 

such  little scenes   her  spirits   would  maintain  their   flow�察  �often   for 

some hours�察�and�察�as I remarked before�察�her health therefrom took 

a   sustenance   and        vigour   which�察    �previously   to   the     event   of   her 

aunt¨s   death   and   her   dismissal�察  �had   almost   recreated   her   whole 

frame。 

    It  has   taken me   several   minutes   to  write   these   last   sentences�察�

but   I   had   thought   all   their   purport   during   the   brief   interval   of 

descending the stairs  from   Frances¨   room。   Just  as   I   was   opening 

the outer door�察�I remembered   the   twenty  francs   which  I   had not 

restored�察     �I  paused�此     �impossible      to   carry    them     away     with    me�察�

difficult   to   force   them   back   on   their   original   owner�察  �I   had   now 

seen   her  in   her  own   humble abode�察  �witnessed   the   dignity   of   her 

poverty�察  �the   pride   of   order�察  �the   fastidious   care   of   conservatism�察�

obvious in the arrangement and economy of her little home�察�I was 

sure she would not suffer herself to be excused paying her debts�察�I 

was   certain   the   favour   of   indemnity   would   be   accepted   from   no 

hand�察  �perhaps        least   of  all   from   mine�此   �yet   these    four   five´franc 

pieces   were   a   burden   to   my   self´respect�察  �and   I   must   get   rid   of 

them。 An expedient!a clumsy one no doubt�察�but the best I could 

devise´suggested itself to me。 I darted   up  the   stairs�察�knocked�察  �re´ 

entered the room as if in haste�此� 

    ^Mademoiselle�察�I have forgotten one of my gloves�察�I must have 

left it here。 ̄ 

    She instantly rose to seek it�察�as she   turned   her  back�察  �I!being 

now  at  the   hearth!noiselessly   lifted   a   little   vase�察  �one   of  a   set   of 

china   ornaments�察  �as        old´fashioned       as   the   tea´cups!slipped          the

it   within   the   fender�察   �good   evening�察    �mademoiselle�察院       �I  made    my 

second exit。 

     Brief   as   my   impromptu   return   had   been�察  �it   had   afforded   me 

time to pick up a heart´ache�察�I remarked that Frances had already 

removed the red embers of her cheerful little fire from the grate�此�

forced   to   calculate   every   item�察  �to   save   in   every   detail�察  �she   had 

instantly on my departure retrenched a luxury too expensive to be 

enjoyed alone。 

    ^I am glad it is not yet winter�察院�thought I�察 �but in two months 

more come the winds and rains of November�察�would   to  God   that 

before then I could earn the right�察�and the power�察�to shovel coals 

into that grate ad libitum� 院�

    Already   the   pavement   was   drying�察  �a   balmy   and   fresh   breeze 

stirred   the   air�察  �purified   by   lightning�察  �I   felt   the   West   behind   me�察�

where spread a sky like opal�察�azure immingled with crimson�此�the 

enlarged   sun�察  �glorious   in   Tyrian   tints�察  �dipped   his   brim   already�察�

stepping�察�as I was�察�eastward�察�I faced a vast bank of clouds�察�but also 

I   had    before    me    the   arch   of   an   evening     rainbow�察    �a   perfect 

rainbow!high�察  �wide�察  �vivid。   I   looked   long�察  �my   eye   drank   in   the 

scene�察  �and   I   suppose   my   brain   must   have   absorbed   it�察  �for   that 

night�察�after lying awake in pleasant fever a long time�察�watching the 

silent    sheet´lightning�察     �which     still  played   among      the   retreating 

clouds�察�and flashed silvery over the stars�察�I at last fell asleep�察�and 

then   in   a   dream   were   reproduced   the   setting   sun�察  �the   bank   of 

clouds�察  �the   mighty   rainbow。   I   stood�察  �methought�察  �on   a   terrace�察  �I 

leaned over a parapeted wall�察�there was space below me�察�depth I 

could not fathom�察�but hearing an endless dash of waves�察�I believed 

it to be the sea�察�sea spread to the horizon�察�sea of changeful green
