I think I would give a hundred thousand francs " "I dare say you would, and, I tell you, she is a respectable woman a woman of virtue. The Baron has forked out handsomely." "He has not a sou, I tell you." "There is a husband he has pushed " "Where did he push him?" asked Crevel, with a bitter laugh.
To restore this child to the ways of virtue would surely atone for many sins. I knew what I was doing." thought she, remembering the scene with Crevel. "But she she knows nothing." "Do you know Monsieur Samanon?" asked Atala, with an insinuating look. "No, my child; but why do you ask?" "Really and truly?" said the artless girl. "You have nothing to fear from this lady," said the Italian woman.
The fragile Valerie had been less able to resist the inroads of the disease than Crevel; she would be the first to succumb, and, indeed, had been the first attacked. "If I had not been ill myself, I would have come to nurse you," said Lisbeth at last, after a glance at her friend's sunken eyes.
"Yes, for a good action badly done! That is half a crime," said Crevel, much pleased with his epigram. "Doing good, my dear Crevel, does not mean sparing money out of a purse that is bursting with it; it means enduring privations to be generous, suffering for liberality! It is being prepared for ingratitude! Heaven does not see the charity that costs us nothing "
"You do not yet know the latter end of poverty shame, disgrace. I have tried to warn you; I would have saved you, you and your daughter. Well, you must study the modern parable of the Prodigal Father from A to Z. Your tears and your pride move me deeply," said Crevel, seating himself, "for it is frightful to see the woman one loves weeping.
I am not bad all through!" she cried, clasping her hands. "Vouchsafe to rescue Thy wandering lamb, strike her, crush her, snatch her from foul and adulterous hands, and how gladly she will nestle on Thy shoulder! How willingly she will return to the fold!" She got up and looked at Crevel; her colorless eyes frightened him. "Yes, Crevel, and, do you know? I, too, am frightened sometimes.
And then the ex-perfumer derived from this style of living it was the inevitable, a free-and-easy life, Regence, Pompadour, Marechal de Richelieu, what not a certain veneer of superiority. Crevel set up for being a man of broad views, a fine gentleman with an air and grace, a liberal man with nothing narrow in his ideas and all for the small sum of about twelve to fifteen hundred francs a month.
I have three hundred thousand francs in the bank over and above my invested fortune they are yours " "Go," said Madame Hulot. "Go, monsieur, and never let me see you again. But for the necessity in which you placed me to learn the secret of your cowardly conduct with regard to the match I had planned for Hortense yes, cowardly!" she repeated, in answer to a gesture from Crevel.
"How can you load a poor girl, a pretty, innocent creature, with such a weight of enmity? But for the necessity that goaded me as a mother, you would never have spoken to me again, never again have come within my doors. Thirty-two years of an honorable and loyal life shall not be swept away by a blow from Monsieur Crevel "
"Do not make game of her, sweetheart; she is a very saintly, a very noble and pious woman, worthy of all respect." "Am I not worthy of respect then, heh?" answered Valerie, with a threatening gaze at Crevel. "I never said so," replied he, understanding that the praise of virtue might not be gratifying to Madame Marneffe.
