Thus, women who have arrived safely at the haven, the happy age of forty, the period when they are delivered from scandal, calumny, suspicion, when their liberty begins: these women will certainly do him the justice to state that all the critical situations of a family are pointed out or represented in this book. Caroline has her Chaumontel's affair.
"Let this teach you, my angel, never to make use of your servants, if you want them to be of use to you. It is the lowest of tyrannies, this being at the mercy of one's people." Adolphe takes advantage of this circumstance to alarm Caroline, he thinks of future Chaumontel's affairs, and would be glad to have no more espionage.
"What business was it, Adolphe?" "Why, I thought you knew. Shall I run over the list? First, there's Chaumontel's affair " "I thought Monsieur Chaumontel was in Switzerland " "Yes, but he has representatives, a lawyer " "Didn't you do anything else but business?" asks Caroline, interrupting Adolphe.
"Why, this affair " "Chaumontel's affair?" "No, his speculations in houses that he had built by people that were insolvent." Her curiosity is in the syndic's favor. "Sit down here. There, at this distance, I will behave well, but I can look at you."
When she has discovered the injustice of her suspicions, there comes another letter with an offer to furnish her with details relative to a Chaumontel's affair which Justine has unearthed. The petty trouble of avowals, ladies, is often more serious than this, as you perhaps have occasion to remember.
M. Adolphe to Perrault, To 1 Pate de Foie Gras delivered at Madame Schontz's, the 6th of January, fr. 22.50 Six bottle of assorted wines, 70.00 To one special breakfast delivered at Congress Hotel, the 11th of February, at No. 21 Stipulated price, 100.00 Total, Francs, 192.50 Caroline examines the dates and remembers them as appointments made for business connected with Chaumontel's affair.
In society she makes general remarks which, to Adolphe, are very particular remarks, about their last quarrel. At the end of a fortnight a day never passes without Caroline's recalling their last quarrel by saying: "It was the day when I found Chaumontel's bill in your pocket:" or "it happened since our last quarrel:" or, "it was the day when, for the first time, I had a clear idea of life," etc.
"Let this teach you, my angel, never to make use of your servants, if you want them to be of use to you. It is the lowest of tyrannies, this being at the mercy of one's people." Adolphe takes advantage of this circumstance to alarm Caroline, he thinks of future Chaumontel's affairs, and would be glad to have no more espionage.
Here, the author ought perhaps to search out all the varieties of quarrels, if he desires to be precise. Thus, Caroline may have discovered that the judicial robe of the syndic in Chaumontel's affair, hides a robe of infinitely softer stuff, of an agreeable, silky color: that Chaumontel's hair, in short, is fair, and that his eyes are blue.
When she has discovered the injustice of her suspicions, there comes another letter with an offer to furnish her with details relative to a Chaumontel's affair which Justine has unearthed. The petty trouble of avowals, ladies, is often more serious than this, as you perhaps have occasion to remember.
