     Ten hours later�察�a post´chaise bore in the direction of Engadine Mlle。 

Antoinette   Moriaz�察  �her   father�察  �her   /demoiselle   de   compagnie/�察  �and   her 

/femme de chambre/。 They breakfasted tolerably well in a village situated 

in the lower portion of a notch�察�called Tiefenkasten�察�which means�察�literally�察�

/deep chest/�察�and certainly a deeper never has been seen。 After breakfast 

they pursued their way farther�察�and towards four o'clock in the afternoon 

they   reached   the   entrance   of   the   savage   defile   of   Bergunerstein�察  �which 

deserves to be compared with that of Via Mala。 The road lies between a 

wall of rocks and a precipice of nearly two hundred metres�察�at the bottom 

of   which   rush   the   swift   waters   of   the Albula。   This   wild   scenery   deeply 

moved Mlle。 Moriaz�察�she never had seen anything like it at Cormeilles or 

anywhere   about   Paris。   She   alighted�察  �and�察  �moving   towards   the   parapet�察�

leaned   over   it�察  �contemplating   at   her   ease   the   depths   below�察  �which   the 

foaming torrent beneath filled with its roars。

     Her father speedily joined her。 

     ;Do you not find this music charming�拭─�she asked of him。 

     ;Charming�察  �I   grant�察─  �he   replied�察   �but   more   charming   still   are   those 

brave   workmen   who�察  �at   the   risk   of   their   necks�察  �have   engineered   such   a 

suspended   highway   as   we   see   here。   I   think   you   admire   the   torrent   too 

much�察�and the road not enough。; And after a pause he added�察 �I wish that 

our   friend    Camille     Langis    had   had    fewer    dangers    to  contend     with   in 

constructing his。; Antoinette turned quickly and looked at her father�察�then 

she   bestowed   her   attention   once   more   upon   the   Albula。   ;To   be   sure�察─�

resumed   M。   Moriaz�察  �stroking   his   whiskers   with   the   head   of   his   cane�察�

;Camille   is   just   the   man   to   make   his   way  through   difficulties。   He   has   a 

youthful air that is very deceptive�察�but he always has been astonishingly 

precocious。   At   twenty   years   of   age   he   became   head   of   his   class   at   the 

Central School�察�but the best thing about him is that�察�although in possession 

of   a   fortune�察  �yet   he   has   a   passion   for   work。   The   rich   man   who   works 

accepts voluntary poverty。; 

     There   arose   from   the   precipice   a   damp�察  �chill   breeze�察  �Mlle。   Moriaz 

drew over her head a red hood that she held in her hand�察�and scraping off 

with   her   finger   some   of   the   facing   of   the   parapet�察  �which   glittered   with 

scales of mica�察�she asked�此 �What do you call this�拭─�

     ;It is gneiss�察�a sort of sheet´granite�察�but do not you too admire people 

who work when they are not compelled to do anything�拭─�

     ;Then you must admire yourself a great deal。; 

     ;Oh�察�I� �In my early youth I worked from necessity�察�and then I formed a 

habit which I cannot now get rid of�察�while Camille Langis; 

     ;Once   more�拭─  �she   ejaculated�察  �with   a   gesture   of   impatience。   ;What 

prompts you to speak to me of Camille�拭─�

     ;Nothing。 I often think of him。; 

     ;Do   not   let   us   two   play   at   diplomacy。   You   have   had   news   of   him 

lately�拭─�

     ;You   just   remind   me   that   I   have�察  �through   a   letter   from   Mme。       De 

Lorcy。; 

     ;Mme de Lorcy�察�my godmother�察�would do better to meddle with what 

concerns her。 That woman is incorrigible。;

     ;Of what would you have her correct herself�拭─�

     ;Simply of her mania for making my happiness after her own fashion。 

I read in your eyes that Camille has returned to Paris。 What is his object�拭─�

     ;I know nothing about it。 How should I know�拭�I only presumethat is�察�

I suppose; 

     ;You do not supposeyou know。; 

     ;Not at all。 At the same time�察�since hypothesis is the road which leads 

to science�察�a road we /savants/ travel every day�察�I; 

     'You   know   very   well�察─  �she   again   interposed�察   �that   I   promised   him 

nothing。; 

     ;Strictly speaking�察�I admit�察�but you requested me to tell him that you 

found     him   too  young。    He   has   laboured    conscientiously     since   then   to 

correct that fault。; Then playfully pinching her cheeks�察�he added�此 �You are 

a great girl for objections。 Soon you will be twenty´five years old�察�and you 

have    refused    five  eligible   offers。   Have    you   taken   a  vow    to  remain 

unmarried�拭─�

     ;Ah� �you have no mercy�察─�she cried。 ;What� �you cannot even spare me 

on the Albula� �You know that�察�of all subjects of conversation�察�I have most 

antipathy for this。; 

     ;Come�察�come�察�you are slandering me now�察�my child。 I spoke to you of 

Camille as I might have spoken of the King of Prussia�察�and you rose in 

arms at once�察�taking it wholly to yourself。; 

     Antoinette was silent for some moments。 

     ;Decidedly�察�you are very fond of Camille�察─�she presently said。 

     ;Of all the sons´in´law you could propose to me; 

     ;But I do not propose any。; 

     ;That is precisely what I find fault with。; 

     ;Very   good�察  �since   you   think   so   much   of   him�察  �this   Camille�察  �suppose 

you command me to marry him�拭─�

     ;If I were to command�察�would you obey�拭─�

     ;Perhaps�察�just for the curiosity of the thing�察─�she rejoined�察�laughing。 

     ;Naughty girl�察�to mock at her father� ─�said he。 ;If these twenty years I 

have    been    in  servitude�察  �I  can   scarcely    emancipate     myself    in  a  day。 

However�察�since the great king deigns to hold parley with his ministers�察�I

am Pomponnelet us argue。; 

     ;Ah�察  �well�   �you   know   as   well   as   I   that   I   have   a   real   friendship   for 

Camille�察�as the playmate of my childhood。 I remember him when he was 

ever so small�察�and he remembers me�察�too�察�when I was a tiny creature。 We 

played hide´and´seek together�察�and he humoured me in my ten thousand 

little caprices。 Delightful reminiscences these�察�but unfortunately I think of 

them too much when I see him。; 

     ;He   has   passed   two   years   among   the   Magyars�察  �two   years   is   a   good 

while。; 

     ;Bah�   �he   could   never   possibly   have   any   authority   over   me。   I   intend 

that my husband shall be my government。; 

     ;So that you may have the pleasure of governing your government�拭─�

     ;Besides�察  �I   know   Camille   too   well。   I   could   only   fall   in   love   with   a 

stranger�察─�said she�察�heedless of the last sally。 

     ;Was not the Viscount R´ a stranger�拭─�

     ;At the end of five minutes I knew him by heart。 He is precisely like 

all other second secretaries of legation in the world。 You may be sure that 

there is not a single idea in his head that is really his own。 Even his figure 

does not belong to himself�察�it is the /chef´d'oeuvre/ of the united efforts of 

his tailor and his shirt´maker。; 

     ;According to this�察�a prime requisite in the man whom you could love 

is to be poorly clad。; 

     ;If ever my heart is touched�察�it will be because I have met a man who 

is   not   like   all   the   other   men   of   my   acquaintance。   After   that   I   will   not 

positively forbid him to have decent clothing。; 

     M。   Moriaz   made   a   little   gesture   of   impatience�察  �and   then   set   out   to 

regain   the   chaise�察  �which   was   some   distance   in   advance。   When   he   had 

proceeded about twenty steps�察�he paused�察�and�察�turning towards Antoinette�察�
