Under these circumstances Grandier was doomed from the outset. But he made a desperate struggle, and his opponents were driven to sore straits to bolster up their case.

Still, some men, no matter how shy and procrastinating they may be or reluctant, for that matter are doomed to have love affairs thrust upon them, as you will perceive if you follow the course of this narrative to the bitter end.
They did not guess that I had ascertained by my art that life was yet in him, that I had poured between his lips subtle drops which would maintain animation for many days and nights, during which consciousness might be restored; nor did they imagine that when I kneeled before him I had stopped the leak by which the water was to flow into the doomed boat.
