  4 2 |             that I had not heard of Marguerite's death among the pieces
  5 2 |         returning after an absence. Marguerite was a pretty woman; but
  6 2 |             did not occur on any of Marguerite's belongings, that instinctive

 10 2 |             ardent life had left on Marguerite's face the virginal, almost
 11 2 |            attempting to solve it. ~Marguerite had a marvellous portrait
 12 2 |            story itself has begun. ~Marguerite was always present at every
 13 2 |           set in Paris, I knew that Marguerite had lived with some of the
 14 2 |      subject. In the spring of 1847 Marguerite was so ill that the doctors
 15 2 |      complaint, but she was so like Marguerite in appearance that they

 19 2 |    consented. ~It must be said that Marguerite was just then very ill.
 20 2 |          The father's sentiment for Marguerite had, in truth, so pure a
 21 2 |            heart. ~We must add that Marguerite had returned more beautiful
 22 2 |           day. On being questioned, Marguerite admitted everything to the
 23 2 |           eighth day he came to beg Marguerite to let him still visit her,
 24 2 |           things three months after Marguerite's return; that is to say,
 25 3 |           of these words: ~Manon to Marguerite. ~Humility. ~It was signed
 26 3 |           Was Manon to recognise in Marguerite, in the opinion of M. Armand
 27 3 |             of plain speaking which Marguerite, whatever her opinion of
 28 3 |          comparison between her and Marguerite gave me an unusual inclination
 29 3 |       buried his heart in it; while Marguerite, a sinner like Manon, and
 30 3 |            her last resting-place. ~Marguerite, in fact, as I had found
 31 3 |         agony. ~Then from Manon and Marguerite my mind wandered to those
 32 4 | astonishment of those who had known Marguerite when they saw as her only
 33 4 |           my knowledge the whole of Marguerite's life, and acquainted me
 34 4 |           who had given the book to Marguerite want of me? I gave orders
 35 4 |         were present at the sale of Marguerite Gautier?" ~At this word
 36 4 |             You bought something at Marguerite's sale?" ~"Yes, a book." ~"
 37 4 |           you, then, who gave it to Marguerite Gautier?" ~"It was!" ~"The

 39 4 |            Armand on the subject of Marguerite, for the inscription in
 40 4 |          away. My poor friend! your Marguerite of old times is sadly changed.

 42 4 |        repeating my name, poor dear Marguerite!" ~And Armand, giving free
 43 5 |           was constantly hearing of Marguerite. ~I do not know if you have
 44 5 |             that point in regard to Marguerite, for I had seen and met
 45 5 |          never breathed the name of Marguerite, I always began by saying: ~"
 46 5 |             you ever know a certain Marguerite Gautier?" ~"The Lady of
 47 5 |         about the relations between Marguerite and Armand. Meeting one
 48 5 |            asked him: "Did you know Marguerite Gautier?" ~The answer was
 49 5 |            very little. He was with Marguerite for five or six months in
 50 5 |          see me, the recent news of Marguerite's death had not exaggerated
 51 5 |            the Rue d'Antin; perhaps Marguerite's porter would know where
 52 5 |           to myself: "One glance at Marguerite's grave, and I shall know
 53 5 |           of February a woman named Marguerite Gautier had not been buried
 54 5 |            t think he has forgotten Marguerite?" ~"I am not only sure he
 55 6 |                You have been to see Marguerite's sister?" "Yes; who told
 56 6 |             plot of ground and give Marguerite a new grave, and she immediately
 57 6 |             again until I have seen Marguerite. It is perhaps the thirst
 58 6 |            give you the papers that Marguerite had left for you?" ~Armand
 59 6 |            the permission signed by Marguerite's sister. He received in
 60 6 |          slowly in the direction of Marguerite's grave. The inspector went
 61 6 |      suddenly laid bare the face of Marguerite. ~It was terrible to see,
 62 6 |           in which only the name of Marguerite could be distinctly heard. ~"
 63 7 |             careful not to refer to Marguerite, fearing lest the name should
 64 7 |           overcome by sickness, and Marguerite's death no longer appeared
 65 7 |   recollections of his liaison with Marguerite, and seemed resolved to
 66 7 |         like this, that I first met Marguerite," said Armand to me, as
 67 7 |          you bowing to?" I asked. ~"Marguerite Gautier," he said. ~"She
 68 7 |          fated to fall in love with Marguerite, and that I foresaw it. ~
 69 7 |         lady's name. ~"Mademoiselle Marguerite Gautier," he replied. I
 70 7 |             in one of the boxes was Marguerite Gautier. ~The young man
 71 7 |       pretty girl." ~At that moment Marguerite turned her opera-glass in
 72 7 |             feared to discover that Marguerite was not worthy of the sentiment
 73 7 |              When I entered the box Marguerite was in fits of laughter.
 74 7 |            My friend introduced me; Marguerite gave me a little nod, and
 75 7 |           no woman was ever loved. ~Marguerite ate her raisins glaces without
 76 7 |            ridiculous a position. ~"Marguerite," he said, "you must not
 77 7 |           may have known women like Marguerite, one can not but know the
 78 7 |           idea that I had formed of Marguerite accentuated the effects
 79 7 |            you are mad." ~"What did Marguerite say after I had gone?" ~"
 80 7 |             given up thinking about Marguerite. Another feeling had taken
 81 7 |            the performance was over Marguerite and her friend left the
 82 7 |            the Cafe' Anglais," said Marguerite. "We will walk there." ~
 83 7 |             minutes afterward I saw Marguerite from the street at a window
 84 7 |      instant. At one in the morning Marguerite got into her carriage with
 85 7 |      stopped at No. 9, Rue d'Antin. Marguerite got out and went in alone.
 86 7 |           time forward, I often met Marguerite at the theatre or in the
 87 7 |            completely lost sight of Marguerite, and, as I told you, when
 88 8 |            of my desire to speak to Marguerite again was a wish to make

 91 8 |           she was smiling across at Marguerite to ask her, "Whom are you
 92 8 |         Whom are you looking at?" ~"Marguerite Gautier." ~"You know her?" ~"
 93 8 |           Prudence then told me how Marguerite had made the acquaintance
 94 8 |           the duke just coming into Marguerite's box." ~I looked at him.
 95 8 |           No," signalled Prudence. ~Marguerite drew back the bag, and,
 96 8 |          but everything relating to Marguerite is so fresh in my memory
 97 8 |             to stand aside to allow Marguerite and the duke to pass. I

102 8 |          That still less." ~"I know Marguerite," said Gaston; I can very
103 8 |        Impossible." ~We again heard Marguerite's voice calling to Prudence,
104 8 |          you for ten minutes," said Marguerite from her window, in almost
105 8 |         expect you. Come at once." ~Marguerite closed her window and Prudence
106 8 |           window and Prudence hers. Marguerite, who had remembered my face
107 8 |    agreeable than he is, or (I know Marguerite) she will put it all down
108 8 |           against the mantel-piece. Marguerite, seated at the piano, let

110 9 | Good-evening, my dear Gaston," said Marguerite to my companion. "I am very
111 9 |        indiscreet." ~"Friends," and Marguerite lingered over the word,
112 9 |          being introduced to you." ~Marguerite's beautiful eyes seemed
113 9 |               Ah, I remember," said Marguerite, with a smile. "It was not
114 9 |             the bitter frankness of Marguerite must have made him very
115 9 |       really supplicating glance at Marguerite. ~"Well, Prudence," she
116 9 |         going to my club," he said. Marguerite did not answer. The count
117 9 |             said: "Adieu, madame." ~Marguerite rose. "Adieu, my dear count.
118 9 |     good-tempered. He merely kissed Marguerite's hand, which she held out
119 9 |            could." ~"Nanine!" cried Marguerite. "Light M. le Comte to the
120 9 |             shut. ~"At last," cried Marguerite, coming back, "he has gone!
121 9 |     covetous eyes. ~"My dear," said Marguerite, sitting down to the piano, "
122 9 |             out. ~"That's it," said Marguerite, jumping like a child, "
123 9 |             But those who had loved Marguerite were not to be counted,
124 9 |          and the purest of virgins. Marguerite had still pride and independence,
125 9 |             stood open before him. ~Marguerite, resting one hand on the

127 9 |             I am dying of hunger." ~Marguerite rang the bell, sat down
128 9 |          beastly things," I said to Marguerite, imploringly. ~"Oh, how
129 9 |          for myself, but for you." ~Marguerite made a gesture as if to
130 9 |             Is supper ready?" asked Marguerite. "Yes, madame, in one moment." ~"
131 9 |         drawing-room was a marvel. ~Marguerite went with us for a moment;
132 9 |          was very much in love with Marguerite; it was he who brought her
133 9 |              if you like, who loved Marguerite." ~"And she loved him, too,

136 9 |          slipping away from Gaston, Marguerite made him sit on her right
137 9 |         Nanine, of Prudence, and of Marguerite. Gaston was thoroughly amused;
138 9 |            of bad habits, seemed in Marguerite a necessity of forgetting,

141 9 |            to come back, I followed Marguerite." ~ ~
142 10|          pale, her mouth half open, Marguerite tried to recover breath.

145 10|            word. ~"Come," continued Marguerite, "we are talking mere childishness.
146 10|             Well, I will be sad." ~"Marguerite, let me say to you something
147 10|            are talking sense," said Marguerite; "leave us alone; we will
148 10|            it is agreed," continued Marguerite, when we were alone, "you
149 10|          alone, I was very happy." ~Marguerite began to laugh. ~"What are
150 10|  conversation, it seemed to me that Marguerite began to share my agitation,
151 10|        little I had drawn nearer to Marguerite. I had put my arms about
152 10|              Why?" ~"Because," said Marguerite, releasing herself from
153 10|        Gaston and I left the house. Marguerite shook hands with me and
154 10|       street, "what do you think of Marguerite?" ~"She is an angel, and
155 11|        introduction, the promise of Marguerite, had followed one another
156 11|         first time that a girl like Marguerite had promised herself to
157 11|         heard that the affection of Marguerite was a thing to be had more
158 11|             Now, I was in love with Marguerite. I had nothing more to ask
159 11|           then I began to fear lest Marguerite had no more than a few days'
160 11|          the hour when I was to see Marguerite again. ~It was impossible
161 11|           by the Rue d'Antin, I saw Marguerite's coupe' waiting for her
162 11|            to the Rond-Point, I saw Marguerite's carriage in the distance;
163 11|           the one who had spoken to Marguerite as the Comte de G., whose
164 11|            to me as the man to whom Marguerite owed her position. It was
165 11|             d'Antin. I looked up at Marguerite's windows. There was a light.
166 11|             In half an hour's time ~Marguerite arrived. She looked around
167 11|           not at the house. Just as Marguerite was going to ring, I went
168 11|            Has Prudence come?" said Marguerite. ~"No, madame." ~"Say that
169 11|             know what to do or say. Marguerite went toward her bedroom;
170 11|          said. ~"Not well," replied Marguerite drily. ~"Am I disturbing
171 11|           What have I done, my dear Marguerite?" ~"My dear friend, you
172 11|            young man stammered out, Marguerite returned to the room and
173 11|               Now understand," said Marguerite, "you are always to say
174 11|        dress worries me," continued Marguerite, unhooking her bodice; "
175 11|        comes." ~"There's one, now," Marguerite went on, as she took off
176 11|         here?"' she said, "where is Marguerite?" ~"In her dressing-room." ~"
177 11|             Well, to return to you. Marguerite asked me all about you:
178 11|        answer now." ~At this moment Marguerite reappeared from her dressing-room,
179 11|          tone impossible to render. Marguerite took the six notes of a
180 11|            Mme. Duvernoy went out. ~Marguerite opened the drawer of a side-table
181 11|             that she had brought to Marguerite had put her into a good
182 11|             under the excitement of Marguerite's last words, my eyes fixed
183 12|        appear through the curtains, Marguerite said to me: "Forgive me
184 12|         wait until I wake." ~I took Marguerite's head in my hands; her
185 12|            and, despite my love for Marguerite, I did not foresee such
186 12|      imagination had placed between Marguerite and myself had disappeared,
187 12|         would only laugh at him, as Marguerite had laughed at me. Weeks,
188 12|            that first night. Either Marguerite was very clever in deception,
189 12|          more I said to myself that Marguerite had no reason for feigning
190 12|           awakened by a letter from Marguerite containing these words: ~"
191 12|         constantly fixed, open, and Marguerite appeared. She came to the
192 12|        through my heart. ~Doubtless Marguerite perceived the impression
193 12|             count left the box, and Marguerite beckoned to me to come to
194 12|    Good-evening," I replied to both Marguerite and Prudence. ~"Sit down." ~"
195 12|            with you to-night?" said Marguerite, rising and coming to the
196 12|             presence of M. de G. in Marguerite's box was the most natural
197 12|             to have a mistress like Marguerite I should have to get used
198 12|            Prudence, the count, and Marguerite get into the carriage, which
199 13|             mechanically. "Where is Marguerite?" ~"At home." ~"Alone?" ~"
200 13|           here till M. de G. leaves Marguerite's?" ~"How unreasonable you
201 13|             are! Don't you see that Marguerite can't turn the count out
202 13|            of money; he still does. Marguerite spends more than a hundred
203 13|             thousand francs a year. Marguerite is very fond of you, my
204 13|             keep her carriage. Take Marguerite for what she is, for a good,
205 13|           whom you have to do with; Marguerite isn't a saint. She likes
206 13|             man, and I am sure that Marguerite is not his mistress. Then,
207 13|            expenses of a woman like Marguerite. A fortune of five hundred
208 13|          rest of her expenses. With Marguerite, it is still more convenient;
209 13|          the lovers of a woman like Marguerite, that she could not so much
210 13|     continued Prudence; "admit that Marguerite loves you enough to give
211 13|        genuine love which I had for Marguerite had some difficulty in accommodating
212 13|       sensations! I have only known Marguerite for two days, she has only
213 13|         window. At the same instant Marguerite called to us: ~"Come at
214 13|           supper." ~When I entered, Marguerite ran to me, threw her arms
215 13|           it was not unmade. As for Marguerite, she was already in her
216 13|             sweetness, spontaneity, Marguerite had them all, and I was
217 13|           over and I was alone with Marguerite. She sat down as usual on
218 13|            the trouble of it," said Marguerite, with a smile which I shall
219 13|             must permit me, my dear Marguerite, to share only the benefits
220 13|        obedience?" ~"What can I do, Marguerite? I love you too much and
221 13|           Does it seem strange that Marguerite Gautier should speak to
222 13|       second? ~An hour later I held Marguerite in my arms, and, if she
223 13|           thing almost any day with Marguerite, and it had happened to
224 13|        Antin. There was no light in Marguerite's windows. All the same,
225 13|            I never took my eyes off Marguerite's house. It seemed to me
226 14|             go away without letting Marguerite know why I went. Only a
227 14|        sorrow in my eyes: ~"MY DEAR MARGUERITE: I hope that your indisposition
228 14|       father's. ~"Good-bye, my dear Marguerite. I am not rich enough to
229 14|           the pain it would give to Marguerite calmed me a little. I tried
230 14|           moment I would recall how Marguerite had given herself to me,
231 14|           should find a letter from Marguerite. ~The porter had received
232 14|           one since I went out. ~If Marguerite had been going to answer
233 14|            did not come. ~Decidedly Marguerite was not like other women,
234 14|          night at the Palais Royal. Marguerite was sure to be there. I
235 14|       filled one after another, but Marguerite was not there. I left the
236 14|           there." ~"Why?" ~"Because Marguerite was there." ~"Ah, she was
237 14|           But why should I go where Marguerite goes?" ~"Because you are
238 14|          and of sending her to tell Marguerite that I wanted to speak to
239 14|             I should have been with Marguerite, hearing the delicious words
240 14|       everything went to prove that Marguerite loved me. First, her proposal
241 14|              What! I had only known Marguerite for thirty-six hours; I
242 14|        contempt. ~I might have made Marguerite a present which would leave
243 14|           prepared to go and say to Marguerite. When the day dawned I was
244 14|          could think of nothing but Marguerite. ~As you can imagine, it
245 14|           and not daring to call on Marguerite, I made one attempt in her
246 14|          you go and say good-bye to Marguerite?" she continued, as seriously
247 14|           am very glad to find that Marguerite does not put herself out
248 14|             for what reason. I know Marguerite; she would die sooner than
249 14|            quarters, and I wrote to Marguerite: ~"Some one, who repents
250 14|            Joseph, who handed it to Marguerite herself; she replied that

252 15|           looking around the place; Marguerite, seated on the sofa, was

256 15|           one another now." ~"Come, Marguerite, I am not going to take

269 16|         whatever Marguerite wished, Marguerite to be unable to live apart

271 16|            expenses soon increased. Marguerite's nature was very capricious,

273 16|            moment I spent away from Marguerite was like a year, and that
274 16|           complement of my love for Marguerite. What else could I have
275 16|            it was a remedy. Free of Marguerite, I should have been free

288 16|               What a pretty house!" Marguerite said to me, as she followed
289 16|            Prudence. ~"Yonder," and Marguerite pointed to the house in
290 16|             about it if you like." ~Marguerite looked at me, as if to ask

297 17|             am away." ~A week later Marguerite was settled in her country

299 17|            there was not a day when Marguerite had not eight or ten people
300 17|            professedly on behalf of Marguerite. You know I had won some
301 17|         Prudence what she asked for Marguerite, and fearing lest she should

308 17|             had strictly sermonized Marguerite in regard to her new manner
309 17|           when Prudence had said to Marguerite that she had something very
310 17|        doubt, from the way in which Marguerite came to meet her, that another

318 17|         duke was never referred to. Marguerite was no longer the same woman
319 17|         damp of the river, was that Marguerite Gautier who, only four months
320 17|          spoken to you, and to whom Marguerite was afterward to give the
321 17|             true life which neither Marguerite nor I had ever known before. ~

323 17|             pieces, without telling Marguerite what they contained and

328 18|           here." ~"You reproach me, Marguerite; it isn't generous." ~"Forgive
329 18|            could not fail to see in Marguerite signs of disquietude in
330 18|            they seemed to preoccupy Marguerite deeply. I did not know what
331 18|             what to think. ~One day Marguerite was in her room. I entered.
332 18|          the weather was splendid.' Marguerite proposed to me to take the

334 18|     arranged." ~"Quite right," said Marguerite sharply. "Serve the dinner." ~
335 18|       Prudence, and for a fortnight Marguerite seemed to have got rid of
336 18|       afterward, and confirmed what Marguerite had said. The two women
337 18|    complained of the cold and asked Marguerite to lend her a shawl. ~So
338 18|            passed, and all the time Marguerite was more joyous and more
339 18|           as I knew in which drawer Marguerite put Prudence's letters,
340 18|           heart. I might indeed ask Marguerite for the truth in regard
341 18|           not confess it. ~"My good Marguerite," I said to her, "I am going
342 18|          tell me frankly, where are Marguerite's horses?" ~"Sold." ~"The
343 18|             not tell me?" ~"Because Marguerite made me promise not to." ~"
344 18|           seized some of the goods. Marguerite wanted to sell everything,
345 18|             easily to be broken. If Marguerite has not been unfaithful
346 18|           don't advise you to leave Marguerite, but live with her as you
347 18|            prevent your still being Marguerite's lover. She would cry a

351 18|             feeling as she did now, Marguerite would die rather than accept
352 18|            tell me exactly how much Marguerite is in need of." ~"I have
353 18|           me that you will not tell Marguerite that I have given it to

355 19|         entered, all out of breath. Marguerite rose and talked with her
356 19|            When Nanine had gone out Marguerite sat down by me again and
357 19|          have been told." ~I showed Marguerite my father's letters. ~"That
358 19|           your jewels any longer." ~Marguerite blushed, but did not answer. ~"
359 19|            listened. ~"But, my good Marguerite," I replied, pressing her
360 19|             had better hopes." ~And Marguerite made a motion to rise; I

362 19|             and I flung myself into Marguerite's arms. ~"I wanted," she

365 19|           my receipt. ~The day when Marguerite and I came to Paris to look

377 20|          swear to you, father, that Marguerite knew nothing of this transfer." ~"
378 20|             you make it?" ~"Because Marguerite, the woman you calumniate,
379 20|             will do nothing to give Marguerite pain?" ~My father stopped,

384 21|           the voice that one loves! Marguerite and I spent the whole day
385 21|          back to Bougival. ~I found Marguerite not waiting for me, as she
386 21|        other day?" ~"Because," said Marguerite, and it seemed to me that
387 21|            the remainder of the day Marguerite was sad and preoccupied.
388 21|            night before I had found Marguerite sad; that night I found
389 21|        troubled me the more because Marguerite concealed it from me. ~In
390 21|          went on till morning. Then Marguerite fell into a kind of stupor.
391 21|          trembled every moment lest Marguerite should become delirious. ~"
392 21|           awake." ~From that moment Marguerite tried to seem more cheerful.

394 21|             it was certainly not of Marguerite being unfaithful to me.
395 21|           to ask her to go and keep Marguerite company, in the hope that
396 21|            she said, anxiously; "is Marguerite with you?" ~"No." ~"How
397 21|         this evening, to go and see Marguerite; you will be company for
398 21|              and I can't go and see Marguerite this evening. I will see
399 21|            almost as preoccupied as Marguerite, and went on to my father'
400 21|            back to Bougival to tell Marguerite about this fortunate change,
401 21|            Do not say that, father; Marguerite loves me, I am sure of it." ~

404 22|             that she had written to Marguerite. ~All at once I remembered
405 22|       to-day?" when I had said that Marguerite was ill. I remembered at
406 22|     appointment. I remembered, too, Marguerite's tears all day long, which
407 22|         even my father's kindness. ~Marguerite had almost insisted on my
408 22|          fallen into some trap? Was Marguerite deceiving me? Had she counted
409 22|             she let out the secret. Marguerite could not finish the whole
410 22|              the night went on, and Marguerite did not return. ~My anxiety

416 22|           the moment when I entered Marguerite's house. I called out my
417 22|   difficulty. I might have asked if Marguerite was at home, but he might

419 22|         lost creature who is called Marguerite Gautier, whom you have loved

421 23|           spend the night away from Marguerite, but that, if I returned
422 23|         from time to time to reread Marguerite's letter, in order to convince
423 23|        slept a little. I dreamed of Marguerite. ~I woke with a start, not
424 23|           sister, I remembered what Marguerite had said about her in her
425 23|            no longer. The memory of Marguerite pursued me unceasingly.
426 23|            not enough for me to see Marguerite in a month, a week. I had
427 23|            something connected with Marguerite. I went to my rooms to change
428 23|           end of half an hour I saw Marguerite's carriage, at some distance,
429 23|            looking around me, I saw Marguerite on foot, accompanied by
430 23|            with her friend. ~I knew Marguerite: this unexpected meeting
431 23|         purpose was. ~If I had seen Marguerite unhappy, if, in revenging
432 23|       Prudence. ~"Not in the least. Marguerite was there. When she heard
433 23|             One never knows." ~"And Marguerite?" ~"I should hardly tell

446 23|          from certain glances which Marguerite bestowed upon her while
447 23|          less great than that which Marguerite had inspired in me. At that
448 23|             Half an hour afterward, Marguerite, pale as death, put on her

450 24|           being in love with you." ~Marguerite was a woman in the same
451 24|            the other woman. I loved Marguerite. I saw in her instincts

467 24|         what I felt at the sight of Marguerite. ~The last time she had
468 24|          subject which brought her. Marguerite no doubt realized it, for
469 24|         your indifference." ~I took Marguerite's hand. It was burning,
470 24|         could you have deceived me, Marguerite, when I loved you so much? ~"
471 24|         Then you are lying to me." ~Marguerite rose and went toward the

476 24|           dawn found us both awake. Marguerite was livid white. She did
