But every time her eyes closed, the thought of the morrow shot through her brain, and finally, with a great effort, she sat up, took some water which was always close at hand shook into it the remaining pillules in the bottle, and drank it off to the very last drop.
In the misery of wakefulness which was beginning to torture her like an acute pain, she had suddenly recollected what relief from sleeplessness her husband had been wont to find in the opium pillules, and a box of the medicine, only just opened, was at hand. And was not she, too, suffering unutterable wretchedness?
"Dere is someting fery strange in all dat," thought Nucingen, excited by his pillules. "Vat shall dey say at home?" He got up and looked out of the window. "My carriage still is dere. It shall soon be daylight." He walked up and down the room. "Vat Montame de Nucingen should laugh at me ven she should know how I hafe spent dis night!"
She was to be forced to this but did it beseem her to submit to this Negro, this stranger in the house where she was mistress? She shook her head with a scornful smile; then opening a glass phial, which was still half-full of opium pillules, she placed a few on her tongue and again gazed sky-wards.

It was her mother's system exactly, and Beth was disappointed, having hoped for something different These pillules of knowledge only exasperated her; she wanted enough to enable her to grasp the whole situation. "What is the use of learning these little bits by heart about William the Conqueror and the battle of Hastings, and all that, Miss Smallwood?" she exclaimed one day.
Rossini, in thanking him, wrote, "Bien que vos raisins soient superbes, je n'aime pas mon vin en pillules." This Baron Rothschild read as an invitation to send him some of his celebrated Chateau-Lafitte, which he proceeded to do, for "the joke of it," he remarked.
