After dinner everybody crowded round this truly astonishing girl, so that I had no opportunity of whispering my love. However, I went apart with Helen, who told me that the pastor and his niece were going to sup with her mother the following day. "Hedvig," she added, "will stay the night and sleep with me as she always does when she comes to supper with her uncle.
"Do you class the generative power as a weakness?" "No." "Will you tell me, then, of what nature would have been the offspring of a union between a god and a mortal woman?" Hedvig looked as red as fire. The pastor and the other guests looked at each other, while I gazed fixedly at the young theologian, who was reflecting.
"I cannot admit the inference, as in that case she would have conceived; for it would be absurd to suppose that two creatures who had just left God's hands, and were consequently as nearly perfect as is possible, could perform the act of generation without its having any result." This reply gained everyone's applause, and compliments to Hedvig made the round of the table. Mr.
The night seemed short, though we had not lost a moment's time, and at daybreak we had to part. I left them in bed and I was fortunate enough to get away without being observed. I slept till noon, and then having made my toilette I went to call on the pastor, to whom I praised Hedvig to the skies. This was the best way to get him to come to supper at Balances the next day.
M. d'Harcourt was urged to ask her some questions, but he replied in the words of Horace, 'Nulla mihi religio est'. Then Hedvig turned to me and asked me to put her some hard question, "something difficult, which you don't know yourself." "I shall be delighted. Do you grant that a god possesses in a supreme degree the qualities of man?" "Yes, excepting man's weaknesses."
Everybody tried to answer, but nothing was said worthy of record. Hedvig at last said, "My opinion is that since God knows all, He knows of His own existence, but you must not ask me how He knows it." "That's well said," I answered; and nobody could throw any further light on the matter.
"Yes," said I, "unless he married a goddess, which would have made the proportion different." "Tell me exactly," said Hedvig, "what proportion of divinity there would be in a child of the sixteenth generation." "Give me a pencil and I will soon tell you," said M. de Ximenes. "There is no need to calculate it," said I; "the child would have some small share of the wit which you enjoy."
We went out arm in arm, and in a few minutes we were out of sight of everyone. "Do you know," said I to Hedvig, "that you have made a conquest of M. Tronchin?" "Have I? The worthy banker asked me some very silly questions." "You must not expect everyone to be able to contend with you." "I can't help telling you that your question pleased me best of all.
Although the air was cool our heads were hot, and I conceived the idea of telling them that it would do them good to bathe their feet, and that if they would allow me I would take off their shoes and stockings. "I should like to so much," said Hedvig. "And I too," said Helen. "Then sit down, ladies, on the first step."
In the intervals, seeing them to be docile and desirous, I made them execute Aretin's most complicated postures, which amused them beyond words. We kissed whatever took our fancy, and just as Hedvig applied her lips to the mouth of the pistol, it went off and the discharge inundated her face and her bosom. She was delighted, and watched the process to the end with all the curiosity of a doctor.
