"But this inhibition," said the Doctor, "this embargo it cannot possibly apply to me?" "To all of us," Anastasie assured him. "My cherished one," Desprez protested, "you must have misunderstood. It cannot apply to me. He would naturally come to me." "Henri," she said, "it does; I swear to you it does." "This is a painful, a very painful circumstance," the Doctor said, looking a little black.
"Now, Anastasie, come on; it is your turn," said the husband. "I cannot," she replied. "Are we all to die of exposure, madame?" thundered Doctor Desprez. "You can go!" she cried. "Oh, go, go away! I can stay here; I am quite warm." The Doctor took her by the shoulders with an oath. "Stop!" she screamed. "I will put them on."
He was in and out of the kitchen, plying Anastasie with vermouth, heating her with glimpses of the future, estimating their new wealth at ever larger figures; and before they sat down to supper, the lady's virtue had melted in the fire of his enthusiasm, her timidity had disappeared; she, too, had begun to speak disparagingly of the life at Gretz; and as she took her place and helped the soup, her eyes shone with the glitter of prospective diamonds.
Isn't she a fair-haired woman who has a side-box at the Opera? She comes sometimes to the Bouffons, and laughs loudly to attract attention." The Duchess smiled and said: "I wonder at you, dear. Why do you take so much interest in people of that kind? One must have been as madly in love as Restaud was, to be infatuated with Mlle. Anastasie and her flour sacks.
"And then, dear, he asked something worse than death of me. Oh! heaven preserve all other women from hearing such words as I heard then!" "I will murder that man," said Goriot quietly. "But he has only one life, and he deserves to die twice. And then, what next?" he added, looking at Anastasie. "Then," the Countess resumed, "there was a pause, and he looked at me.
Six months in the capital, for a man of the Doctor's antecedents and relations, implied no less a calamity than total ruin. Anastasie had saved the remainder of his fortune by keeping him strictly in the country.
I am very glad to see you," she said, but there was something in her manner that a shrewd observer would have taken as a hint to depart. Maxime, as the Countess Anastasie had called the young man with the haughty insolence of bearing, looked from Eugene to the lady, and from the lady to Eugene; it was sufficiently evident that he wished to be rid of the latter.
"And now," he resumed, "to investigate this crime. Let us proceed by induction. Anastasie, do you know anything that can help us?" Anastasie knew nothing. "Or you, Jean-Marie?" "Not I," replied the boy steadily. "Good," returned the Doctor. "We shall now turn our attention to the material evidences.
She had much of the placidity of a contented nun; with little of her piety, however; for Anastasie was of a very mundane nature, fond of oysters and old wine, and somewhat bold pleasantries, and devoted to her husband for her own sake rather than for his. She was imperturbably good-natured, but had no idea of self-sacrifice.
'Anastasie, he said, 'I will bury this in silence; there shall be no separation; there are the children. I will not kill M. de Trailles. I might miss him if we fought, and as for other ways of getting rid of him, I should come into collision with the law. If I killed him in your arms, it would bring dishonor on those children.
