"It is you who speak of dulness." "To diagnose a disease and to treat it are two things. It is the consultation you speak of that settled the question of Madame Dammauville's disease, and prescribed the treatment that Balzajette had only to apply; and his capacity, I assure you, is sufficient for this task."
If he had appeared as usual, she would have shared the confidence with which he tried to inspire her; but since the death of Madame Dammauville he was so changed, that she could not help being uneasy. Evidently it was Madame Dammauville's death that made him so gloomy and irritable that he would submit to no opposition.
I shall see, then, to-morrow, how far her story has spread, and I will go to see you about it at five o'clock, unless you prefer that I should go at once to see Monsieur Nougarede." "Begin with me, and we will go together to see him, if there is occasion. I am going to write to him." "If I understand Monsieur Nougarde's plan, it seems that it rests on Madame Dammauville's appearance in court.
"A little before Madame Dammauville's death, when you became irritable and furious without cause; when you told me to go because you did not wish to see Madame Dammauville; when, the night before her death, you were so tender, and asked me not to judge you without recalling that hour." "Yet you have judged me." "Never. When worry urged me, my love checked me."
"You have had the kindness not to delay me," he said, pressing the hand of his young 'confrere', "but I feel that I must hurry. 'Au revoir'." A good riddance! This babbling gave Saniel the vertigo. He must recover himself, look the situation in the face, and consider that which might, which must, happen. The situation was plain; Madame Dammauville's cry revealed it.

She could not apply her mind to search for that which agonized her, and she could not close her eyes and ears to what she saw and heard. And what struck them were the same observations, turning always in the same circle, applied to the same subjects and persons: Caffie's name irritated him; Madame Dammauville's angered him; Florentin's made him positively unhappy.
A lamp with a shade was placed on the little table near the bed, and two other lighted lamps with globes were on the mantel, reflecting their light in the mirror.

"Be sure that I have never had an idea of blame in my heart for what is with you an affair of dignity. It is because you are high and proud that I love you so passionately." She rose. "Are you going?" he asked. "I want to carry Madame Dammauville's words to mamma; you can imagine with what anguish she awaits me." "Let us, go. I will leave you at the boulevard to go to see Nougarede."
