Every morning for three hours, and for three hours every evening, Jean-Christophe was set before the instrument of torture.

For three months he drove the Clarences every day over hills and plains, through woods and valleys; they visited famous sites and went over celebrated castles. He said to Eveline all that could be said and did all that could be done to overcome her resistance.
