But there is no end of these debatings; each so faultless, each so full of self I do not think myself faultless, Madam: but But what, Sir! Would you ever more argue with me, as if you were a child?

You see the intensified relief which this brought to our Lord, the keen satisfaction He felt as He heard it distinctly and solemnly uttered as the creed of the Twelve; as He heard what hitherto He could only have gathered from casual expressions, from wistful awe-struck looks, from overheard questionings and debatings with one another.
As was of reason, since hers was the first place in the matter, Madame Jolicoeur herself carried on debatings in the portion of her heart that had escaped complete devastation identical in essence with the debatings of her case which went up and down the Rue Bausset.

This note explained the strangeness he had noticed in her on their last evening together. He pitied her, and, as is so often the case, pity was but fuel to passion.
