The Pole, it was agreed on all sides, was the best sort of man a circus-rider had ever encountered, not fault-finding nor jealous, and willing to let Malaga do just what she liked. "Some women have the luck of it," said Malaga's rival, "and I'm not one of them, though I do draw a third of the receipts."
When the Circus troop discovered that Malaga had lost her Polish count, much excitement was produced among them. Malaga's display of honor was considered folly by some, and shrewdness by others. The conduct of the Pole, however, even when discussed by the cleverest of women, seemed inexplicable. Thaddeus received in the course of the next week thirty-seven letters from women of their kind.
On pretence of asking Adam's advice, Thaddeus had left Malaga's letter with him, as if by mistake. "Poor Thaddeus!" said Adam, as Paz disappeared, "what a misfortune for a man of his distinction to be the plaything of the lowest kind of circus-rider. He will lose everything, and get lower and lower, and won't be recognizable before long.
Paz arrived duly and passed about an hour there once a week, during which time he sat in the salon, and never went into Malaga's boudoir nor into her bedroom, in spite of the clever manoeuvring of the Chapuzots and Malaga to get him there.
Here, read that," added the count, giving Malaga's letter to his wife. Clementine read the letter, which smelt of tobacco, and threw it from her with a look of disgust. "Thick as the bandage is over his eyes," continued Adam, "he must have found out something; Malaga tricked him, no doubt." "But he goes back to her," said Clementine, "and he will forgive her!
Yes, I shall grieve for Malaga's hardness the Malaga of whom I am now speaking." This was said in a manner that made Clementine tremble. "Then you do love Malaga very much?" she asked. "I have sacrificed for her the honor that no man should ever sacrifice." "What honor?" "That which we desire to keep at any cost in the eyes of our idol."
