But, to prevent a recurrence of the catastrophe, the nun made her drink a cupful of claret, adding: "It's just hunger that's what is wrong with you." Then Boule de Suif, blushing and embarrassed, stammered, looking at the four passengers who were still fasting: "'Mon Dieu', if I might offer these ladies and gentlemen " She stopped short, fearing a snub.
I came to say this, simply: that if you will write immediately to your daughter that you withdraw your opposition to her marriage, I will take care of the rest. You don't want her to turn nun you know more about the horrors of it than I do. Marrying a commercial person is better than that.
