     ;What enthusiasm� �It   seemed to me�察 �so far  as I noticed�察 �that he   was 

inclined to stoop�察�and that his head was very badly poised。; 

     ;What do you say�拭─�cried Mlle。 Moiseney�察�greatly scandalized。 ;How 

came you to think his head badly poised�拭─�

     ;Therethere�   �Don't   let   us   quarrel   about   it�察  �I   am   ready   to   retract。 

Good´night�察      �mademoiselle。       Apropos�察    �did   you   know     that   M。   Camille 

Langis had returned to Paris�拭─�

     ;I did not know it�察�but I am not surprised。 I had surmised it�察�in fact�察�I 

was quite sure that he would be back about this time�察�perfectly sure。 And�察�

of course�察�you think he has returned with the intention; 

     ;I   think�察─  �interrupted   Antoinette�察   �that   it   costs   me   more   to   pain   M。 

Langis than   any  other  man   in   the  world。   I  think�察 �also�察 �that he   possesses

most   tiresome   fidelity�察  �it   is   always   the   way�察  �one   never   loses   one's   dog 

when one wants to lose him�察�and I think�察�moreover�察�that a woman makes a 

poor bargain when she marries a man for whom she feels friendship�察�for�察�if 

she gains a husband�察�she is very sure to lose a friend。; 

     ;How true your words are� ─�exclaimed Mlle。 Moiseney。 ;But you are 

always right。 Has M。 Langis forgotten that you thought him too young 

only twenty´three�拭─�

     ;He has so little forgotten it that he has managed�察�I don't know how�察�to 

be at present twenty´five。 How resist such a mark of affection�拭�I shall be 

compelled to marry him。; 

     ;That   will   never   do。   People   do   not   marry   for   charity�察─  �replied   Mlle。 

Moiseney�察�deprecatingly。 

     ;Adieu�察�my dear�察─�said Antoinette�察�dismissing her。 ;Do not dream too 

much about your unknown charmer。 I assure you he had a decided stoop in 

his shoulders。 However�察�that makes small difference�察�if your heart speaks�察�

I will see to arranging this affair for you。; And she added�察�musingly�察 �How 

amusing it must be to marry other people� ─�

     The    next   morning     Mlle。   Moiseney      made     the  acquaintance      of  her 

unknown charmer。 Before leaving Bergun Mlle。 Moriaz wished to make a 

sketch�察   �and    she  had   gone    out   early  with    her  father。   Mlle。   Moiseney 

descended   to   the   hotel   /salon/�察  �and�察  �espying   a   piano�察  �she   opened   it   and 

played   a   /fantasia/   by   Schumann�察  �she   was   a   tolerably   good   musician。 

When   she   had   finished�察  �Count Abel   Larinski�察  �the   man   with   green   eyes�察�

who had entered the /salon/ without her hearing him�察�approached to thank 

her for the pleasure he had had in listening to her�察�but he begged to take 

the liberty to tell her that she failed to properly observe the movement�察�and 

had taken an /andantino/ for an /andante/。 At her solicitation he took her 

place     at  the   instrument�察    �and    executed     the  /andantino/     as   few    but 

professional      artists  could    do。   Mlle。    Moiseney�察    �ever    ready   with    her 

enthusiasm�察 �declared   that he   must be   a   Liszt or   a   Chopin�察 �and   implored 

him to play her something else�察�to which he consented with good grace。 

After this they talked about music and many other things。 The man with 

the   green   eyes   possessed   one   quality   in   common   with   Socrates�察  �he   was 

master in the art of interrogating�察�and Mlle。 Moiseney loved to talk。 The

subject    on   which    she   discoursed     most   willingly   was    Mlle。    Antoinette 

Moriaz�察�when she was started under this heading she became eloquent。 At 

the   end   of   half  an   hour   Count    Abel    was   thoroughly     /au  fait/  on   the 

character and position of Mlle。 Moriaz。 He knew that she had a heart of 

gold�察�a mind free from all narrow prejudices�察�a generous soul�察�and a love 

for   all   that   was   chivalrous   and   heroic�察  �he   knew   that   two   days   of   every 

week were devoted by her to visiting the poor�察�and that she looked upon 

these as natural creditors to whom it was her duty to make restitution。 He 

knew   also   that   Mlle。   Moriaz   could   all   the   better   satisfy   her   charitable 

inclinations�察�as her mother had left her an income of one hundred thousand 

livres。   He   learned   that   she   danced   to   perfection�察  �that   she   drew   like   an 

angel�察  �and   that   she   read   Italian   and   spoke   English。   This   last   seemed   of 

mediocre importance to Count Abel。 St。 Paul said�此 �Though I speak with 

the tongues of men and of angels�察�and have not charity�察�I am become as 

sounding brass�察�or a tinkling cymbal。; The count was of St。 Paul's opinion�察�

and had Mlle。 Moriaz known neither how to speak English�察�nor to draw�察�

nor yet to dance�察�it would not in the least have diminished the esteem with 

which he honoured her。 The main essential in his eyes was that she was 

benevolent      to  the   poor�察 �and    that  she   cherished    a  little  tenderness    for 

heroes。 

     When he had learned�察�with an air of indifference�察�all that he cared to 

learn�察�he respectfully bowed himself away from Mlle。 Moiseney�察�to whom 

he had not mentioned his name�察�and�察�buckling his haversack�察�he put it on 

his back�察�paid his bill�察�and set out on foot to make a hasty ascent of the 

culminating point of the Albula Pass�察�which leads into the Engadine Valley。 

One     would     have    difficulty   in   finding    throughout     the   Alps    a  more 

completely barren�察 �rugged�察�desolate  spot�察�than   this portion   of the Albula 

Pass。   The   highway   lies   among   masses   of   rocks�察  �heaped   up   in   terrible 

disorder。 Arrived at the culminating point�察�Count Abel felt the necessity of 

taking breath。 He clambered up a little hillock�察�where he seated himself。 At 

his feet were wide open the yawning jaws of a cavern�察�obstructed by great 

tufts of aconite  ��wolf's´bane���察�with sombre foliage�察�one  would have  said 

that they kept guard over some crime in which they had been accomplices。 

Count      Abel    contemplated       the   awful     silence    that   surrounded      him�察�

everywhere   enormous   boulders�察  �heaped            together�察  �or   scattered   about   in 

isolated grandeur�察�some pitched on their sides�察�others standing erect�察�still 

others    suspended�察    �as  it  were�察  �in  mid´air。   It  seemed    to  him   that   these 

boulders had formerly served for the games of bacchanalian Titans�察�who�察�

after   having   used   them   as   skittles   or   jack´stones�察  �had   ended   by   hurling 

them at one another's heads。 It is most probable that He who constructed 

the Albula Pass�察�alarmed and confused by the hideous aspect of his work�察�

did justice to it by breaking it into fragments with his gigantic hammer。 

     Count     Abel    heard    a  tinkling    of  bells�察  �and�察  �looking    up�察  �he   saw 

approaching   a   post´chaise�察  �making   its   way   from   Engadine   to   Bergun。   It 

was a large�察�uncovered berlin�察�and in it sat a woman of about sixty years of 

age�察  �accompanied   by   her   attendants   and   her   pug´dog。   This   woman   had 

rather a bulky head�察�a long face�察�a snub´nose�察�high cheek´ bones�察�a keen�察�

bright eye�察�a large mouth�察�about which played a smile�察�at the same time 

/spirituel/�察�imperious�察�and contemptuous。 Abel grew pale�察�and became   at 

once   convulsed   with   terror�察  �he   could   not   withdraw   his   eyes   from   this 

markedly   Mongolian   physiognomy�察  �which   from   afar   he   had   recognised。 

;Ah�察�yes�察─�he said�察 �it is she� ─�He drew over his face the cape of his mantle�察�
