Perhaps this long and yet incomplete analysis will permit us the better to comprehend what emotions agitated the young man as he reascended the staircase of his house of their house, Lincoln's and his after his unexpected dispute with Boleslas Gorka. It will attenuate, at least with respect to him, the severity of simple minds.

It was Chapron who first regained his self-possession, and he said to Boleslas, in a voice too low to be heard by any one but him: "No scandal, Monsieur, eh? I shall have the honor of sending two of my friends to you." "It is I, Monsieur," replied Gorka, "who will send you two. You shall answer to me for your manner, I assure you." "Ha! Whatsoever you like," said the other.

She had not essayed to hide from Maitland what connection she had broken off for him, and it was upon one of those phrases, in which she spoke of it openly, that Madame Gorka's eyes fell: "You will be pleased with me," she wrote, "and I shall no longer see in your dear blue eyes which I kiss, as I love them, that gleam of mistrust which troubles me. I have stopped the correspondence with Gorka.

Accustomed to the conversations, at times very bold, of the Countess's salon, enlightened by the reading of novels chanced upon, the words lover and mistress had for her a signification of physical intimacy such that it was an almost intolerable torture for her to associate them with the relations of her mother, first toward Gorka, then toward Maitland.
