By the 7th of April, seventeen days later, he had already decided to make Jean Armour publicly his wife. A more astonishing stage-trick is not to be found. And yet his conduct is seen, upon a nearer examination, to be grounded both in reason and in kindness.
After, the letter from which we expected all, said: "Soon we shan't leave each other any more. At last we shall live!" And it spoke of a paradise, of the life that was coming. . . . "And afterwards?" "After that, there's nothing more . . . it's the last letter." There is nothing more. It is like a stage-trick, suddenly revealing the truth.
This display of philanthropy was set down universally for a stage-trick; and men quickened their eyes, lest such unsubstantial shows in the distant horizon might be designed to withdraw their attention from the foreground. The great assemblage of Champ-de-Mai had been originally announced for the 10th of May; and its principal business as the formation of a new constitution.
"And I say, it is you that must indemnify me," cried Morok, who had kept this stage-trick for the last, and who now exhibited his left hand all bloody, having hitherto concealed it beneath the sleeve of his pelisse. "I shall perhaps be disabled for life," he added; "see what a wound the panther has made here!"
There was no stage-trick; he had never seen a theatre.

How can you feel the delight of a definite, positive affirmation which accounts for and includes all creeds and lives of men?
