He, a model of honesty, who would have starved to death rather than touch the gold intrusted to his care, he consoled Malgat, finding all kinds of apology for him, telling him, that, after all, he was not so very much to blame, that there were temptations too strong to be resisted, and repeating even those paradoxical principles which have been specially invented as an apology for thieves.
And my honor? "This was to be his last effort to preserve his honor. Sarah looked him straight in the face, and said slowly, "'And my honor! My honor is nothing to you? Do I not give myself? Do you mean to drive a bargain? "Great God! She said this with an accent and with a look which would have tempted an angel. Malgat fell helpless into a chair.
And, sitting down by Daniel, she asked him to tell her all the details of these attempted assassinations, from which he had escaped only by a miracle. The Countess Sarah, in fact, never doubted for a moment but that Daniel was as madly in love with her as Planix, as Malgat, and Kergrist, and all the others, had been, she had become so accustomed to find her beauty irresistible and all powerful.
"And he rushed out, pursued by the insulting laugh of the wretches." Amazed at the inconceivable boldness of this atrocious plot, Daniel and Henrietta were shuddering with horror. As to Mrs. Bertolle, she had sunk into a chair, trembling in all her limbs. The old gentleman, however, continued with evident haste, "Whether Malgat did, or did not, commit suicide, he was never heard of again.
"He had felt as if Sarah Brandon's eyes had been all the time upon him, those strange, sublimely beautiful eyes, which upset our very being within us, weakening the most powerful energy, troubling the senses, and leading reason astray eyes which dazzle, enchant, and bewitch. "The commonest politeness required that Malgat should call upon Mrs. Brian and M. Elgin.
"Ah, she escapes after all!" exclaimed Malgat, "she escapes from justice!" He rushed forward to assist her; but Daniel stepped between, and said, "Let her die." Already horrible convulsions began to seize her; and the penetrating smell of bitter almonds, which slowly filled the whole room, told but too plainly that the poison which she had taken was one of those from which there is no rescue.
These were as many more crimes. And after I had been here a year, they said that Malgat, that wretch" She jumped up as she said this, ran up to Daniel, and, seizing him by the hands, she said, "Malgat! Have they talked to you about Malgat?" And, as he hesitated to answer, she added: "Ah, answer me! Don't you see that your hesitation is an insult?" "Well yes."
Ah, if you do, take them; for I do not hesitate to confide them, the only proofs of my innocence, to your honor. Take them and show them to the other clerks who have been sitting for twenty years in the same office with Malgat; and they will tell you that it is his handwriting; that he has signed his own condemnation.
A voice from within one of those presentiments to which we ought always to listen warned Malgat not to accept the invitation; but he was already no longer his own master. "He went to dinner in Circus Street, and he left it madly in love.
"You suppose, no doubt, that, when Sarah had left him, Malgat came to himself? By no means. It seemed as if, with that kiss, with which she had paid him for his crime, the infamous creature had inspired him with the same genius for evil that was in her.
