Reply Letter For Interview

cxxvii LETTER: LA Marquise de Merteuil AL Vicomte de Valmont

If I have not responded, Viscount, the letter I sent you on 19, it was not for lack of time is simply because I put in a bad mood, and because I have not seen it common sense. I thought that I should not do anything better than to take care of her, but her insistence, and the danger of thinking that my silence means consent, force me to answer.

I will have ever had the intention of replacing an entire harem, but I never consented to be included as part of it. I thought you knew. Now that at least should not ignore, judge of the ridiculous of their claim. What sacrifice taste and taste again,
to take care of you? And to deal how? waiting for my time as a submissive slave favors of His Highness. When, for example, you still have a temporary spell the lovely stranger, the heavenly Madame de Tourvel experience has made him or when he feared compromising about Cecil admirable idea that seeks to make you conceive, then, down to me, would find pleasure less vivid, true, but without result, and their precious gifts, but a bit strange, sufficient for my happiness.

Indeed you rich in virtues, in the opinion of himself, but I Nor sin of modesty: and, thank God, I am not yet bankrupt. It is perhaps a fault of mine, but I must warn you that I have others.

I have also the belief that the school, the cloying Danceny only dealt with me, killed without merit to this, a previous passion, until it has been satisfied, and loving as he loves his age may, despite his twenties, working more effectively than you, my joy and my pleasures. And besides, if I came in lie seek a partner, would not you, at least for now.

Why, I ask? First, could very well be no, because the whim that I would prefer you would like to exclude. I, however, courtesy, justify my refusal. I think you have too many sacrifices to do, and I, far from paying grateful, I still consider creditor to many more. You see that being so far away from each other, we can not approach in any way, and I think I need much time to change his mind. When I edit, I promise you advertise. Until then, believe me, make other arrangements, and save your kisses have so many who devote!

Goodbye, as once, you say? In another time for more For me I had not yet dedicated to the third paper, and, above all, hope you my consent, before relying on it. Do not bother, if instead of saying goodbye, as once, I say goodbye, as at present.

your service.

CXXII LETTER: LA Marquise de Merteuil AL Caballero Danceny

I received your letter, my very young friend, but before thank you, you must fight, and I warn you, if not corrected, will have no reply from me. Leave, then, that tone of flattery, pure fictional jargon that is not true language of love. Is that the way of friendship? No, my friend, every feeling has their language use another, is to disguise the thought that wants to express. I know that our women do not understand anything of what you want decĂ­rseles, if they are not translated in the usual jargon, but I think you deserve me to distinguish them. I greatly misjudged me so angry.

You will find in my letter what is lacking in his, openness and simplicity. We say, for example, that would a great pleasure to see him, and goes against me have not much people around me but I get angry, instead of people that I like, but you certainly translate this phrase: you learn live far from where I live, so that when you are near his beloved, you do not know how to live without me either. What a pity! What about those women who lack as well be me (such as you, it occurs to young Cecil), will do without me you said? Here's where it leads a language which, by abuse, is still below the clumsy jargon of compliance, simple protocol who was not given more faith than any server.

My friend, when you write me, that is to say their way of thinking and feeling, and not to send statements to find without a doubt the first novel of the day.

I hope you're not offended because I say, although it may find a bad mood, do not deny having, but to avoid the entire default that you blame, I will not say that my dislike comes from being away. I think, however, you are worth more than a process and two lawyers, and even more than the attentive Belleroche.

You see that instead of torment by my absence, should welcome it, because you never had such a beautiful performance. I see that the example is contagious, and my time I will fall in the adulation, but no, I prefer to stick to my frankness, it will just make sure my young friend. It's very nice to have a young friend whose heart lies elsewhere. This is not the set of all women, but it is mine. I think better to surrender to a feeling of fear that nothing: so I have been for you a confident perhaps too young, but as you choose your love so young, made me apperception, perhaps soon, I'm a bit old. Does well to prepare for a long lasting trust and I promise that I will oppose anything that reciprocal linking.

reason you have to stop lying in the tender and honest reasons that, as I indicated, delaying his chance. The stubborn defense is the only recourse that remains to those who must succumb to the siege, and what I find unforgivable in another small Volanges not, would not know to escape from a danger that has been amply warned by the confession of his love. Men do not have idea of what virtue is, and how much the sacrifice it costs! But soon that a reasonable woman, know how, regardless of fault, a weakness is for her the greatest of misfortunes, and it seems impossible to incur any such weakness if you have a moment to reflect
.

Do not attempt to fight this idea: it is what mainly drives me to profess his friendship. You save me from the dangers of love, and although so far I've managed to defend well, agree to recognize grateful and this gratitude reinforces my affection.

pray to God that I have it in his holy guardian.

Bottomless Inkjet Printer

cxii LETTER: LA Marquise de Merteuil AL Vicomte de Valmont

I warn, Viscount, who begins to awaken the curiosity of Paris, which is beginning to show their absence, and perhaps guessed the cause. Yesterday I attended a dinner where many people came, there was categorically stated that the cause of his exile was a romantic love and miserable.

The joy was painted on the faces of all those envious of his, fortune and women who have left. I advise you to not let these rumors take shape, and come to destroy their presence as false assumptions. Think

once thought if someone is able to resist its seductions, will reason that, in fact, there are those who resist in the future, that his rivals will lose respect, and daring to fight him: who among them do not believe stronger than virtue? Think, above all, that among women on its list, which has failed you try to disabuse the public, and the other will try to trick you. You will appreciate how much less you are worth, and to date has been appreciated more. Re

you, and not sacrifice his reputation to a childish whim, You have done what we wanted Volanges small, and as President, do you have to laugh? Maybe I do not think you see more than to celebrate have been humiliating. Here you can at least find some time to reappear bright and gracefully, makes it that much needed, and even when to insist on his ridiculous adventure, I do not think it hurt his back at all ... the contrary.

Indeed, if the president loves you, like so many times you told me, and so few proven, his only consolation, his only pleasure, it must be emerges about you, know what it does, what he says and think, and all that was concerned. Such miseries are their value in direct proportion to the hardships being suffered. Are crumbs of bread on the table of the rich, who need not the disdain, but the poor are picked up and feeds them. Now, the poor president now accepts all these crumbs. The more the spare you, most from hunger whip achieve it. Also, since you know your confidant, no doubt that every letter of it abound in sermons, and as she believes she has to substantiate his prudence and virtue patenting. Why leave while resources to defend themselves and to harm you?

I'm not at all, in its view as to lament the change confidante. Madame Volanges course abhors it, and hate is always more perspicuous and witty than friendship. All under the aunt you do not have to take a moment to curse his beloved nephew, that virtue has its weaknesses. Your fears are based on an absolutely false principle.

is not true that as the women get older they become harsh and severe. Forty to fifty years if, when his face fades, and the anger of being forced out of pleasures and love affairs seizes them. So almost every turn acres and impertinent, fierce and disdainful. Both need time to consummate the abdication and sacrifice: then divided into two classes.

Recently, they have not had more than his palm and his youth, fall into apathy, asshole, and she does not come only for the game and some practices of devotion, this is always angry, often grumpy, sometimes intolerable, almost never foe. Can not say that they are severe or that cease to be: no ideas, no life, repeated indifferently, and without understanding, they hear that, his personality is null and harmless.

other, the less and are more beautiful and elite class, are those women who, having had his character, and having ever considered self-aware yet created a life, when they lack that they were inclined to , and take advantage of sprucing up their ingenuity of those trappings for idling and face these tend to sanity, the happy, strong and big. Replace the charms of seduction by the kindness of this compelling and joviality that age sometimes brings, and manage approach youth and be loved. And then, far from being, as you say, rigid and severe, the habit of indulgence, long reflections on human frailty, and, above all, memories of his youth, which they still live, make them easy and affordable, sometimes inclined to the weaker party.

I, finally, I can tell you that, having always looked to the old, and early recognized the value of their votes, I always found many among them who made me much affection, despite the interest that motivated my first inclination. And I stop here, because now you
ignites as soon and as morally, fear is your garment suddenly old aunt, and that she be buried in the grave already living a long time.

Despite the lure that produces the schoolgirl, I do not think of anything involved in their plans. You had it within reach, and took hold of it, nothing more natural: Congratulations! but this will have major importance. This is not, in fact, a real enjoyment. You do not own it more than the body. Not speak of his heart, which no doubt will trouble him little: not even his head you occupy. I do not know if you noticed, but I have evidence of this in the last letter he wrote to me * and I sent him to read it. Look how when you talk about it, is always of M. de Valmont, that all these ideas, even those that you inculcated in it, but do not stop Danceny, who was not called monsieur, but Danceny to dry. This is distinguished from all others, and even intertwining to you, so he keeps his confidence. If that seems seductive conquest, if she gives him pleasure much force, surely you are happy with little. Keep it in good time, that in no way opposed to my projects. But I do not think it's worth it worry you a quarter of an hour, it is also necessary to retain a certain rule, and not allow, for example, that Danceny approaches, but after putting a little forgotten fact.

Before you leave to look after, to get back to me I would say that the disease you think you acquire, is well known and used. In fact you ponders no greater thing. For my part, I also will repeat a few times like, but try to hide, for details, and finally, success justifies me. I still want to try a new scheme of this kind, and run a new adventure. I agree it will not have the merit of the difficulty, but at least be a distraction for me, I'm bored to death.

I do not know why, from adventure to predict, Belleroche has become unbearable to me. So has redoubled his attentions, his tenderness, his worship, that has come to indigestion. His anger at the outset, I thought comely, was necessary, however, mitigate, that would have been committing not to curb it: and there was no way to make him see reason. I have taken the game to show more love to get my order, but he has taken this so seriously, that for some time overwhelms me an eternal bliss. Noto, above all, outrageous self confidence that decision, and its air of conquest final and he thinks he has reached safely. Puts me down, indeed, good old Belleroche. And I appreciate my faith in little if tasarme thinks he can. Even told me you amazed! I had not loved anyone but him. For now, I need all my prudence not disappoint the point, telling the whole truth. It is certainly a body itself to have an exclusive right! Agree to his good looks, not bad packaging and handsome countenance, but in truth, everything is nothing but a simple trick of love. And the time has come, finally, that we must part.

from a fortnight ago I try to consummate the break, and I used the coldness, the impertinence, scorn, and all sorts of complaints and inconveniences, but the character in question does not release the garment; force is taking another party, thus took him to my cottage. Tomorrow we leave. There will be there between us but some people just disinterested and scope; and we will be there as the biggest retreat. There you agobiaré in such a way, for the love and cuddling, we live so much in complete romance, which eventually I want even more to this trip so much flatter now, and my faith, if not return tired of me than I am of him, then, Viscount, there remains no other recourse than you comes to mind.

The pretext for this retreat is to deal seriously with my big fight, which is to be judged, indeed, the end or the beginning of winter. And so, that much bothers me to see all my fortune in the air. Not that I worry about the fact: the reason I paid, my lawyers assure me also, and though I do not pay, many would be my stupidity to win a lawsuit but knew that my opponents are two children and an old tutor. As necessary, however, does not leave anything important issue, take me two lawyers. Do not you find comical this trip? If I win the case and I lose Belleroche, I will not have wasted my time.

Now, Viscount, guess the successor, although I know that things do not guess. Well Danceny. You strange, eh? because in the end I still have not been to educate children. this deserves an exception in his favor is to thank, but not the ukulele.

Its large reserves in the circle contributes to zoom suspicion, and is found most friendly when it indulges in a private conversation. This does not mean you have talked with him on my own, I have not been more than his confidante, but under the veil of friendship I guess a great liking to me and I feel he is also inspiring. It would be a real shame that so much wit and sensitivity were to sacrifice and failure near that asshole Volanges. I hope

mistake to believe that he loves her: she is so far from deserving it! Not that I'm jealous, but would be murder, and I want to save Danceny. I would therefore ask you, who try not to approach carefully to Cecile, as is now the bad habit of calling. The first inclination is always harder than you think, and would not be sure of anything if you watch it again now, especially in my absence. On my return, I request and answer for everything.

I tried to bring the lad with me, but I made the sacrifice to my ordinary prudence, and also had feared that they became aware of something between Belleroche and I were desperate and I had no idea what happens.

I, at least, show up to your imagination pure and without blemish, so, in short, as it should be to be truly worthy of him.

Can You Fog The House For Mice

Letter CVI: LA Marquise de Merteuil AL Vicomte de Valmont

lord: You have given the blow like a charm, so I want you in the end. Moreover, in view of the first letter, he might expect the second, and where it has caused me no admiration, and while you, proud of his future success, he sought the reward, and I wondered if she was ready, saw that had no need to hurry. Yes, because when reading the beautiful relationship to such a famous scene and the strong impression that you have inspired, to see your accommodation worthy of the most beautiful times of chivalry, I said twenty times: The launch will be frustrated. Well that could not happen otherwise. What do you expect a poor woman who gives up and leaves like that? Faith, in this case, it is necessary to at least save the honor, and this is precisely what the president has done. I have understood that the party has taken is not completely useless and I intend to serve it, by myself, at the first opportunity would be present, but I promise that if that man by whom the costs hiciese not take advantage of them better than you, do not have to tell me never.

See you stunned, and that having two wives, one destined for the next morning, and another that he wanted anxious. Well! You will believe me boast, and say it is not difficult to guess after watching, but I swear I hoped so, because in reality you do not have the ingenuity of the men in his condition, only knows how they teach, not invent anything. For this reason then that the circumstances do not lend themselves to the formulas used, and force him to abandon the path of all, is perplexed as a cadet unhappy. In short, a trifle to one side and the other one cannot feature is not very common, enough to embarrass. Can neither prevent nor avoid them. Ah! viscount, viscount, you taught me not to judge men by their success and soon you will say: It was brave one day! And then you have made nonsense about nonsense, draw on me. Do you think that I saw I have to do more than repair? Viscount really would not make short work.

Whatever these two adventures, one has been taken against my will, and I will not meddle in it. In parish to another, and in some ways I was glad you take it as a matter of their own. The letter included, then you give the little girl Volanges, is more than enough to return to their friendship, but I beg you to deal with this child care, and resolve to agree on the despair of the mother and Gercourt. I see clearly that does not scare the little person, and then are met our view they will do whatever he wants.

I leave this entirely to their care. It has a naive fool who has not given specific even when you've managed, yet is almost always infallible, and this is in my view the most dangerous disease that can have a woman. Denotes above all a character flaw almost always incurable who opposes everything so that we do not deal in interim form a girl to intrigue not we stop it rather than a loose woman. Now, I know nothing as common as this nonsense, who gives without knowing how or why, just not able to resist the attack. These women are just machines for pleasure.

You tell me not to do anything else, and that this suffices for our projects. So, but not soon forget that they all come to know the springs and motors of these machines, for this reason to use it without prejudice, it must be dispatched, stopped in time, then break it. In truth, we would lack no reason to defend it, and shall make Gercourt safely as we please. The fact, when you can not judge their misfortune, and when public and evident: what do we care that come with such comfort is not? I tell the husband what you think about it no doubt from the mother, there is the equivalent.

This party, which I looks best and I stop lying, I have decided to haunt the young, as you will see by my letter. It is also very important not to leave anything in your hands that you can commit, and I beg you pay attention to this. Once taken this precaution, I take care of morality you meet the rest. However, if we see hereafter that naivety is corrected, we will always be time to move out of pleasure. After we had to do, one day or another, what we do now. In no event shall our steps useless.

you know that has come close to mine are frustrated and fleeing to prevail on the fate of my prudence Gercourt!

Not Madame has had a moment of weakness Volanges mother? Do not want to give his daughter to Danceny? This was what mother announced that interest, you observed the following morning. You would also have been the cause of this beautiful masterpiece! Fortunately the tender mother wrote me, and I hope my answer will not be pleased. I speak it as much virtue, and especially so the coax, you should believe in reason.

I'm sorry I had time to sit with a copy, to edify you with my moral austerity. Ah! See how contempt for women so degraded that they want to have a lover! It's so easy to be a stickler on these speeches! This only hurts the other, without causing any discomfort. Besides that I am aware that the good lady has taken the time their weaknesses like any other, and not dislike me cause that intimate humiliation. This comforted me somewhat when I thought of the praise that I gave into my consciousness. Thus, in the letter, the idea of harming Gercourt gave me the strength to speak well of him.

Goodbye, friend viscount much approve of the decision taken to remain at that. I have no discretion to accelerate his departure, but I invite you to have fun with our common pupil. As far as me, despite their close date, you see that still need to wait; and agree without doubt that it is not my fault.

Long Hair Chinese Bang

LETTER CV: The Marquise de Merteuil LA Cecil Volanges

what is it you, my friend, very angry and embarrassed! Is not it true that Mr. Valmont is a wicked man? What! Value to treat you like a woman I loved very much! And teaches that such gains had to know! Indeed this behavior is inexcusable. And you, meanwhile, wants to be cautious with his mistress (not abuse its discretion); you just love looking at the penalties, not pleasure. Nothing better, and you will be worthy to appear like a charm in a novel. Passion, alas, and Under particular, what things so beautiful! In the midst of this brilliant procession annoying one, certainly, sometimes, but also takes it out.

You see how the poor girl is worthy of compassion! Was the next morning so downcast eyes! What would you say if this happened in front of your lover? Well, my beautiful angel, that this does not happen always so: for all men are not as Valmont. And not daring to raise there eyes! Oh! the truth that you had reason, all of them had read his adventure. Believe me, however, if this were so, many women and even many young ladies would look more modestly.

Despite the praise that I clarified to lavish me, you see, it must be acknowledged that it was wrong from medium to medium not to involve your mother. Had you started so well! He had thrown in his arms, had moaned and cried! What a scene so pathetic! What a shame not to have finished!

His gentle mother, full of joy, I would have put you forever in a convent, with the aim of helping his virtue, and there would have loved to Danceny as willed, no rivals, and sinless. Would you have abandoned the pain to their widths, and Valmont, probably would not have gone to trouble their grief with the disgusting pleasures.

Seriously, is it possible that having completed fifteen years it is still a child? Well said he does not deserve my kindness.

I, however, be friends, and perhaps what you need is the mother and the husband who wants to give. But what do we do if no form is more? What can you expect when making the trial come to the other, it seems, on the contrary, you take it off?

If I could think for a moment to herself, would find very quickly that instead of complaining, should be the felicitation. But you're embarrassed, and this makes you uncomfortable! Ay! calm down already, the embarrassment caused by love is like the pain that he experienced more than once. We can still pretend you later, but no longer feel. However, the pleasure is, and this is not little. I am convinced that in the midst of his talk, I discovered that you had very large.

Come on, a little good faith, tell me frankly. The trouble that prevented him from doing as I said, I did that you find so difficult to defend that. Put Valmont angry when you left, shame was what caused it, or was it pleasure? And so to insinuate, as you do not know what to say, do not come from the mode of action? Ah, child! Not you tell me what you feel, and cheats on his girlfriend! This does not seem right. But let's leave aside. What would be a pleasure for all, and perhaps nothing else, would be for you in your situation happiness. In effect, placed between a mother who should be loved, and a lover who would love forever, why not see that the only way to achieve these two things is to deal with someone else? Distracted by this new adventure, as you would the air for his mother sacrificing taste displease him, would become her lover for the honor of a glorious defense. Protests continued that he wanted to, not grant the final test of love.

These refusals, so little harsh in your situation, your lover would not attribute them to their strengths. It would, perhaps, sorry for you, but why would love more, and to have the double merit in the eyes of the one given to love, to resist the other, would cost you more to enjoy the pleasures he offered. Oh! how many women have lost their reputation, which had been preserved with care, if they could hold it by such means!

Do not see this game that I propose as the most reasonable and the sweetest? Do you know what he has achieved with whom he has taken? That its mother attributed his sadness over an extreme love, which is chopped at this, and to punish her, just waiting to be quite sure of it. Just wrote on this subject, and will use all means to extract the confession, and even tells me to propose for her husband will Danceny, and all for the purpose of making you talk. And if you get seduced by this false tenderness, answered candidly, very soon you will be locked for a long time, perhaps forever, and slowly its blind credulity cry.

is necessary, therefore, that this trick you want to use against you, either fight with each other. Start by showing less sadness, and thinking it Danceny is less concerned. She will be persuaded of this much easier, as is the usual effect of the absence, and will thank
more as you will find here a chance to applaud their wisdom, has suggested that this discretion. But if keeping in doubt, try it insists, and talks of marriage, submit to his will as a well-born daughter. And indeed, what you risk it?

As far as a husband, always worth as much as a mother is more modest and much less awkward than this. Once you are happy with you, to try to marry her, and then, being freer and may, at is election, Valmont leave to take Danceny, or save them both. Because, you see, Danceny is excellent, and one of those that they can take and leave when you want, but not so with Valmont, is difficult and dangerous to keep you leave. You need to use him a lot of skill, or much docility when it is missing. But also, if you could have it make for a friend, would be a joy. He put you in the front rank of all our women to fashion. In this way it acquires a consistency in the world and not be ashamed and mourn, as when the nuns were on their knees eating.

If you were a string, it would still make friends with Valmont, which should be very angry, and as you need to repair their nonsense, do not fear any hint, it quickly so you know that if men make us the first, we see ourselves forced to make the latter.

You now have a good excuse for them, because he ought not to keep this letter, and I demand that you release to Valmont after reading it. Do not forget to close earlier. First, it is necessary to afford you the credit for having taken this step with him, and that seems to have been advised, and second, because I have another friend in the world I can talk more frankly with you .

Goodbye, beautiful, follow my advice, and tell me if things go well with them. PD-

way, I forgot ... a word yet. You seek further refine his style, he writes like a child. I am aware that this is from you say everything you think. This can happen between the two, because between us there should be nothing hidden. But
with everyone, and especially with his lover, always have, you air a little fool. You should know that when writing to try to tell any more what he likes what you think. Farewell, dear love, embrace it, instead of scolding her, hoping to be more reasonable.

Paris, October 4, 1917 ...

Super Soaker Backpack For Sale

LETTER CIV: The Marquise de Merteuil LA LA LADY OF Volanges

My face and good friend, much work I had to truth, not conceited reading your letter. What! You honor me with your full confidence! You are going to ask me for advice! Ah! I am very happy if I deserve this favorable opinion of you, and not I only to the prevention of friendship.

the rest, whatever the reason, is no less precious to my heart, and have gotten them in my eyes is a compelling reason to treat more and more to deserve it. I then (but without claiming to give you some advice) to tell you frankly my thinking. I distrust him, because it differs from yours, but you will judge when he has stated my reasons, and if convicted, subscribe now his trial. I will have at least the wisdom of not believing me wiser than you.

However, if this once to find my better advice, it will be necessary to attribute to the illusions of maternal love, and since this is a laudable view, must be on you. Indeed, how well warned by the party that has thought to take! For this reason, if you happen Erras ever, would never be the choice of virtue.

I think that prudence is preferable when you have the good fortune of others, and especially when it comes to fixing it as a sacred and indissoluble bond, such as marriage. Then when a mother is equally wise and tender, because, as you say very well, help your child glue the experience. Now, I ask: what should I do to get it but to distinguish between what is acceptable and what is appropriate?

Would not it stain the maternal authority, it would destroy it, taste it subject to the frivolous, whose illusory power only makes an impression on those who fear him, and disappears after you despise? As for myself, I confess, I have never given credence to these seductive, irresistible passions, according to the feelings of all, it seems that generally excuse our disorders. I can not conceive how an inclination, at a time is born and dies in another, may be stronger than the fixed principles of decency, honesty and modesty, and do not understand either, how a woman who has outraged might be more excusable, a thief who stole by the passion of money or a murderer for revenge.

Ay! Who can say that has not had passions that fight? But I've always been in the persuasion that, to resist, just love, and I confirmed this opinion with my experience. What would virtue without the obligations prescribed? His worship is in our sacrifices, and rewarded in our hearts. These truths can not refuse, but by those who have an interest in unknown, those depraved thrill waiting for a moment, trying to justify his conduct relaxed wrong reasons. But can be feared that a simple and shy girl, a daughter of you, and modest and pure, whose education has not been less than fortify his good character? Yet you want to sacrifice the advantageous marriage, whose wisdom had given him, this fear that I dare to call humiliating for her daughter. Danceny I love so much, and long ago, as you know, I see little Mr. Gercourt, but my friendship for one and my indifference to the other, not knowing me from the huge difference between these two parties.

agree that they are equal in birth, but one is poor, and the fortunes of another, even apart from his birth, could be enough to smooth everything. I confess that money can not buy happiness, but it must be acknowledged that much easier. Mademoiselle de Volanges is, as you say, very rich for both: however, sixty thousand a year that will enjoy it, are no longer so when it is named Danceny, when it is necessary to sustain a home and corresponding to his rank. We are no longer in the days of Madame de Sevigne. The luxury all-absorbing, taunts him, but you must imitate, and eventually deprive superfluous than necessary.

As you look at the clothes moral, that you do a lot of appreciation, and rightly so, nothing can take in the face of Gercourt, it has given proof of this, I think, in fact, that Danceny not far behind, are we so sure? It is true that until now has been free of the vices of his age and that, despite the tone of the day, showing a taste for good company, which augur favorably of him, but who knows whether this apparent behavior is the effect of medium fortune? There is always some fear of rogue or drunk, and you can either love the vices and excesses fear: but to be profligate player and it takes money. Finally, it would be the first one went with a good company because no one gave him.

I'm not saying this (or God forbid!) Because he creates it, but always be risk, and what would you not counterclaims itself if success was not happy! How would you respond then to his daughter when he said: "Mother, I was young and inexperienced, I was seduced by a pardonable error in my age, but the sky, which had anticipated my weakness, I had offered a wise mother to occur and defend it. Why, then, forgetting his sanity, you have consented to my misfortune? was perhaps that which I had to choose a husband, when I had no knowledge of the state of marriage? And though I wanted to do, not touch you to oppose it? But I have not ever had this crazy desire. Dedicated to obey, I waited a respectful choice with resignation, I have never deviated from the submission that he should be, and yet suffer the punishment they deserve only the rebels. Ay! their weakness, I lost ... "Perhaps the respect you would have to drown these complaints, but the guess maternal love, and tears of his daughter, but tries to hide, why would not fail to penetrate his heart . Where do you find so comforting? Is it, perhaps, in this crazy love against which ought to alarm, and that, by contrast, had you been seduced?

I do not know, my friendly face, if I have this passion prevention against very strong, but I think to be feared even in marriage. This is not to say that I disapprove an honest and sweet feeling that makes the charm of the marriage bond, and softened in any way the obligations, but this state does not correspond to the forms, the choice of our life should not be rules for the illusion of time. Indeed, choosing to be compared. And how can we do when a single object in question, and when neither can he know, being deluded and stubborn?

I have found, as you can imagine, many Women infected by this dangerous disease, I received the confidences of some, and to hear, it seems that there was a lover who was not perfect, but these chimerical perfections exist only in your imagination. The head exalted but by no dreams and virtues to them adorn your favorites and bookmarks, and these ornaments are like the dress of a god set upon a model despicable, to which, whoever, just have dressed, when made toys of his own work, prostrate to worship.

Or your daughter does not love Danceny, or experience the same illusion: it is common to both if your love is reciprocated. Thus, the reason you have for blackbirds ever, comes down to who do not know, or can be known. But I tell you, do you know more Mr. Gercourt and my daughter? No, no doubt, but at least do not be fooled, they live only ignorance of this. What happens, then, in this case between two husbands I guess wise? that each study to another, observes his character, looks and knows immediately what it is to yield to their tastes and wishes, for peace of both. These small sacrifices are made without disgust, because they are reciprocal and are planned, soon born to them a common good will, and habit, which strengthens all inclinations that does not destroy, produces little this sweet little friend, the tender confidence, which, together with the estimate, are, in my opinion, the true and solid happiness of marriages.

illusions of love can be sweeter, but who do not know they are less durable? And what dangers does not entail that destroys the time! That's when the effects seem less shocking and unbearable, by contrast they form with the idea of perfection that we had been seduced. Each of the couple believes, however, that the other is the one that has moved, and he always worth a moment of error that had made him appreciate. It admires that can not be born and not experience the charm, is humiliated, and this hurts their vanity. Then sour spirits, the evil increases, it's bad mood, and it comes the hate, and frivolous pleasures are to be paid to last through long misfortunes.

Behold, my friendly face, my thinking on the matter at hand: I do not defend, but I expose, to you to decide, but if you insist on your opinion, I beg you tell me the reasons he had to fight mine.

I rejoice that I distinguished, and, above all, that assures me about the fate of your kind daughter, whose happiness I long for, and for the friendship that I profess, for which I am bound to you forever.
