M. d'Harcourt said that we should have to send for Voltaire to settle a question so difficult, but as Hedvig had collected her thoughts and seemed ready to speak everybody was silent. "It would be absurd," said she, "to suppose that a deity could perform such an action without its having any results.
"Because it is the result of desire, Hedvig, and it would not have taken place in me if I had not been charmed with you, and if I had not conceived the most seducing ideas of the beauties that I cannot see from the view of the beauties I can see. Tell me frankly whether feeling that did not give you an agreeable sensation." "It did, and just in the place where your hand is now.

Nature spoke out loudly, and all we wanted was to satisfy its demands. With much coolness I made a woman of Hedvig, and when all was over she kissed me and said that the pain was nothing in comparison with the pleasure.
Don't you feel a pleasant tickling there, Helen, after what the gentleman has been saying to us?" "Yes, I feel it, but I often do, without anything to excite me." "And then," said I, "nature makes you appease it . . . thus?" "Not at all." "Oh, yes!" said Hedvig.

All the company looked on me as a polite Atheist, so superficial is the judgment of society, but it did not matter to me whether they thought me an Atheist or not. M. de Ximenes asked Hedvig if matter had been created. "I cannot recognize the word 'created," she replied. "Ask me whether matter was formed, and I shall reply in the affirmative.
"That is a false deduction, for since God may do all things, He may certainly be ignorant of an event in futurity." I thought the way in which she brought in the word "futurity" almost sublime. Hedvig was loudly applauded, and her uncle went all round the table to kiss her.
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.
"In five or six days time, perhaps, the opportunity may recur again, but that will be all." "Ask us to sup at your inn to-morrow," said Hedvig; "and maybe, chance will favour the commission of a sweet felony." I followed this advice. I overwhelmed them with happiness for several hours, passing five or six times from one to the other before I was exhausted.
