Je suis un ingrat! Only imagine, I come back and find a letter from her; read it, read it! Oh, how ungrateful it was of me!" He gave me a letter he had just received from Varvara Petrovna. She seemed to have repented of her "stay at home." The letter was amiable but decided in tone, and brief.
"Ah, monsieur, je ne suis pas un ingrat. Ne pensez pas que " "Oh, M. Pasgrave," interrupted Mackenzie, "this is no time for compliments and fine speeches: for God's sake, let us get to the bottom of this affair without further ceremony!" "Sir," said the banker's clerk, "all we want to know is the number of your note, and the firm of the house.
Ingrat! woe to thee! Love is not love, unless, when betrayed by Love, it appeals to death. Answer me quick quick. Poor Gustave thought of that letter and groaned. Certainly his mother was right he ought to get rid of Julie; but he did not clearly see how Julie was to be got rid of.
What so restless as its persecution? Take from a man his fortune, his house, his reputation, but flatter his vanity in each, and he will forgive you. Heap upon him benefits, fill him with blessings: but irritate his self-love, and you have made the very best man an ingrat. He will sting you if he can: you cannot blame him; you yourself have instilled the venom.
Je serais un ingrat si je me plaignais; car il me disait souvent: 'Quel bon Francais vous faites! Et il m'aimait a cause de cela, quoiqu'il semblt n'ainier pas la France. C'etait la un trait de son originalite.

He stammered out her naive, "Julie!" and then he stopped. "Oui, ta Julie! Petit ingrat! how I have sought for thee! how I have hungered for the sight of thee! That monster Savarin! he would not give me any news of thee. That is ages ago. But at least Frederic Lemercier, whom I saw since, promised to remind thee that I lived still. He did not do so, or I should have seen thee n'est ce, pas?"

One's sense of such things after so long a time has of course scant authority for others; but I myself trust my vision of Rose Chéri's fine play just as I trust that of her physique ingrat, her at first extremely odd and positively osseous appearance; an emaciated woman with a high bulging forehead, somewhat of the form of Rachel's, for whom the triumphs of produced illusion, as in the second, third and fourth great dramas of the younger Dumas, had to be triumphs indeed.
