And she longed for drink in order to stifle the feeling of pity to herself and the useless feeling of reproach to him. And she would have broken her word if she had been inside the prison. Here she could not get any spirits except by applying to the medical assistant, and she was afraid of him because he made up to her, and intimate relations with men were disgusting to her now.

And incredible as it might seem, some people had actually yielded to her, and the disgusting creature had played the social celebrity for a whole season, and made quite a handsome income out of it.

These, too, were shameful and disgusting. He remembered how, during her last sickness, he wished her to die.

But subsequently M. de Morny baited him with a lucrative appointment connected with the Suez Canal.

He never quitted his bench except for the hospital or the grave; yet some of the Huguenot rowers contrived to live upon their benches for thirty or forty years!

She was temperate, chaste, and charitable; But She was proud, peevish, and passionate. She was an affectionate wife and a tender mother; But Her husband and child, whom she loved, Seldom saw her countenance without a disgusting frown; While she received visitors whom she despised with an endearing smile. Her behaviour was discreet towards strangers; But Imprudent in her family.
