dilemma�拭�The case is embarrassing。; 

     It   was   M。   Moriaz   who   undertook   the   solution   of   this   embarrassing 

dilemma。 Three days later�察�some moments before dinner�察�he was walking 

in   the   hotel´grounds�察  �smoking   a   cigar。   He   saw   passing   along   the   road 

Count Abel�察�on his way back to Cellarina。 A storm was coming up�察�already 

great drops of rain were beginning to fall。 M。 Moriaz ran after the count 

and seized him by the button�察�saying�此 �You have saved my lifepermit me�察�

at least�察�to save you from the rain。 Do me the honour to share our dinner�察�

we will have it served in my apartment。; 

     Abel   strongly   resisted   this   proposition�察  �giving   reasons   that   sounded 



                                              34

like mere pretences。 A rumbling of thunder was heard。 M。 Moriaz took his 

man by the arm�察�and led him in by force。 He presented him to his daughter�察�

saying�此 �Antoinette�察�let me present to you M。 le Comte Larinski�察�a most 

excellent   man�察  �but   little   inclined   to   sociability。   I   was   compelled   to   use 

violence in bringing him here。; 

     The count acknowledged these remarks with a constrained smile。 He 

wore   the   manner   of   a   prisoner�察  �but�察  �as   he   prided   himself   on   his   good´ 

breeding   and on   his   philosophy�察  �he   seemed   to be   endeavouring   to   make 

the best of his prison。 During dinner he was grave。 He treated Antoinette 

with frigid politeness�察�paid some attention to Mlle。 Moiseney�察�but reserved 

his chief assiduities for Mr。 Moriaz。 He addressed his conversation more 

particularly to him�察�and listened to him with profound respect。 A professor 

is always sensible to this kind of courtesy。 

     After the coffee was served�察�the crusting of ice in which Count Abel 

had   incased   himself   began   to   thaw。   He   had   been   all   over   the   world�察  �he 

knew   the   United   States   and   Turkey�察  �New   Orleans   and   Bucharest�察  �San 

Francisco and Constantinople。 His travels had been profitable to him�此�he 

had observed men and things�察�countries and institutions�察�customs and laws�察�

the   indigenous   races   and   the   settlers�察  �all   but   the   transient   visitors�察  �with 

whom   he   seemed   to   have   had   no   time   to   occupy   himself�察  �at   least   they 

formed   no   part   of   his   conversation。   He   related   several   anecdotes�察  �with 

some show of sprightliness�察�his melancholy began to melt away�察�he even 

indulged      in   little  bursts   of   gaiety�察  �and    Antoinette     could    not   avoid 

comparing him and his discourse to some of the more rigorous passages of 

the Engadine�察�where�察�amid the black shades of the pines�察�among frowning 

rocks�察�there are to be found lilies�察�gentians�察�and lakes。 

     He resumed his gravity to reply to a question of M。 Moriaz concerning 

Poland。 ;Unhappy Poland� ─�cried he。 ;To´day the Jew is its master。 Active�察�

adroit�察�inventive�察�little scrupulous�察�he makes capital out of our indolence 

and   our   improvidence。   He   has   over   us   one   great   advantage�察  �which   is 

simply that�察�while we live from day to day�察�he possesses a notion of a to´ 

morrow�察�we despise him�察�and we could not do without him。 We are always 

thirsty�察�and he supplies us with drink�察�we never have ready money�察�and he 

loans it to us at an enormous rate of interest�察�we cannot return it to him�察�

and he reimburses himself by seizing our goods and chattels�察�our jewels�察�

our land�察�and our castles。 We take out our revenge in insolence�察�and from 

time     to  time    in  petty   persecutions�察     �and   we    gradually    arrive    at  the 

conclusion that the sole means of freeing ourselves from the yoke of the 

Jew would be to conquer the vices by which he lives。; Count Abel added 

that   for   his part   he  had  no prejudice   against these   children   of Abraham�察�

and   he   quoted   the   words   of   an   Austrian   publicist   who   said      that   each 

country   had   the   kind   of   Jews   it   deserved。   ;In   fact�察─  �he   continued�察   �in 

England�察�as   in   France�察�and in   every country  where   they are   placed on   a 

footing     of   equality�察  �they   become      one   of  the   most    wholesome�察      �most 

vigorous elements of the nation�察�while they are the scourge�察�the leeches�察�of 

the countries that persecute them。; 

     ;And�察�truly�察�justice demands that it should be so�察─�cried Mlle。 Moriaz。 

     For the first time the count addressed himself directly to her�察�saying�察�

with a smile�此 �How is this�察�mademoiselle�拭�You are a woman�察�and you love 

justice� ─�

     ;This     astonishes    you�察  �monsieur�拭─     �she   rejoined。   ;You    do   not  think 

justice one of our virtues�拭─�

     ;A woman of my acquaintance�察─�he replied�察 �always maintained that it 

would   be   rendering       a   very   bad   service   to   this   poor   world   of   ours  to 

suppress      all  injustice�察  �because     with    the  same     stroke   would     also   be 

suppressed all charity。; 

     ;That is not my opinion�察─�said she。 ;When I give�察�it seems to me that I 

make restitution。; 

     ;She is somewhat of a socialist�察─�cried M。 Moriaz。 ;I perceive it every 

January in making out her accounts�察�and it is fortunate that she intrusts this 

to   me�察  �for   she   never   takes   the   trouble   to   look   at   the   memorandum   her 

banker sends her。; 

     ;I   am  proud   for   Poland  that   Mlle。  Moriaz has   a   Polish   failing�察─  �said 

Abel Larinski�察�gallantly。 

     ;Is it a failing�拭─�queried Antoinette。 

     ;Arithmetic   is   the   most   beautiful   of   the   sciences   and   the   mother   of 

certainty�察─�said M。 Moriaz。 And turning towards the count�察�he added�此 �She 

is very wrong´headed�察�this girl of mine�察�she holds absolutely revolutionary

principles�察�dangerous to public order and the preservation of society。 Why�察�

she maintains that people who are in need have a right to the superfluities 

of others� ─�

     ;This appears to me self´evident�察─�said she。 

     ;And�察�for example�察─�further continued M。 Moriaz�察 �she has among her 

/proteges/ a certain Mlle。 Galard; 

     ;Galet�察─�said Mlle。 Moiseney�察�bridling up�察�for she had been impatiently 

awaiting an opportunity to put in a word。 

     ;This Mlle。 Leontine Galet�察�who lives at No。 25 Rue Mouffetard; 

     ;No。 27�察─�again interposed Mlle。 Moiseney�察�in a magisterial tone。 

     ;As   usual�察  �you   are   sure   of   it�察  �perfectly   sure。   Very   good�   �This   Mlle。 

Galard     or  Galet�察  �residing   at  No。   25   or  No。   27   Rue   Mouffetard�察    �was 

formerly a florist by trade�察�and now she has not a sou。 I do not wish to 

fathom the mysteries of her pastit is very apt to be 'lightly come�察�lightly 

go' with the money of these peoplebut certain it is that Mlle。 Galard; 

     ;Galet�察─�put in Mlle。 Moiseney�察�sharply。 

     ;Is to´day an infirm old woman�察�a worthy object of the compassion of 

charitable people�察─�continued M。 Moriaz�察�heedless of this last interruption。 

;Mlle。 Moriaz allows her a pension�察�with which I find no fault�察�but Mlle。 

GaletI   mistake�察  �Mlle。   Galardhas   retained   from  her   former   calling   her 

passion for flowers�察�and during the winter Mlle。 Moriaz sends her every 

week a bouquet costing from ten to twelve francs�察�which shows�察�according 

to my opinion�察�a lack of common´sense。 In the month of January last�察�she 

sent   for   Parma   violets   for   this   /prot �g*/   of   hers。   Now�察  �I   appeal   to   M。 

Larinskiis this reasonable�察�or is it absurd�拭─�

     ;It is admirably absurd and foolishly admirable�察─�replied
