My daughter will see you as often as you please, but here, and in no other place." "But I am afraid of being in the way here." "An honest man is never in the way." I felt ashamed, for nothing so confounds a libertine as modesty in the mouth of poverty; and not knowing what to answer I took my leave.
I looked into the beautiful face of the speaker as she concluded; perhaps, at that solitary moment, my heart was unfaithful to Ellen; but the infidelity passed away like the breath from the mirror. Coxcomb as I was, I knew well how passionless was the interest expressed for me. Libertine as I had been, I knew, also, how pure may be the friendship of a woman, provided she loves another.
After a glimpse into the life of that pure, good woman who has tried to be God's messenger to me to-night, I can find no words to express my loathing of the slough in which I and mine have mired. My only child, by the force of natural selection, bids fair to add to our number a drunkard and a libertine; and I am powerless to prevent it.
"Nothing of that sort, Clopper no, no 'pon honor little Bob Stubbs is no LIBERTINE; and the story is very simple. You see that my father has a small place, merely a few hundred acres, at Sloffemsquiggle. Isn't it a funny name?
Insensible to any feeling of self-respect, I bore even the contempt of my sister Rosalie; both she and my mother hardly ever deigning to cast a glance at the young libertine whom they only saw at rare intervals, looking deadly pale and worn out: my ever-growing despair made me at last resort to foolhardiness as the only means of forcing hostile fate to my side.
I have, after all, a pretty mistress; she has given herself to a libertine, let her take me for what I am." I reached her side with a smile on my lips, I sank into a chair with an air of deliberate insolence; then I saw Brigitte approach, her large eyes filled with tenderness and anxiety; I seized her little hands in mine and lost myself in an infinite dream. How name a thing that is nameless?
She was one of those women that nothing surprises. Her train was made up of the ugly and the handsome bore, prude, wit, and libertine. She gave them all something; you could feel it. I think she got tired of giving and never taking." "Is she so beautiful?" asked Lewis. "Beautiful? Oh, no," said the lady, and then suddenly stopped and straightened. She laughed.
All-Knowing can it be that Thou wouldst repulse her the pitiful rebel, the involuntary libertine; a child that had uttered blasphemies against Thy radiant, holy name? Thou Benevolence, Thou our Consolation! A dull, restrained wailing, suddenly passing into a scream, resounded in the chapel. "Oh, Jennechka!"
"Let their arms be withered," I cried, rather than have such a thistle fasten itself in the soil of our social life. Let the libertine of our world go to the world of Scum where he belongs, or rise to the dignity of man whose image he bears.
Moved by an irresistible feeling, by what is called perfect love, I called upon P C on the following day, and, after I had told him that I adored his sister with the most honourable intentions, I tried to make him realize how deeply he had grieved me by forgetting all respect, and that modesty which the most inveterate libertine ought never to insult if he has any pretension to be worthy of respectable society.
