LETTER LXXXI: LA Marquise de Merteuil AL Vicomte de Valmont
What pity me with your complaints! How do I prove my superiority over them you! And you want to be my teacher, and head? Ah! my poor Valmont. How far you still me! No, all the pride of her sex did not suffice to fill the gap that separates us. Because you could not run my projects were thought impossible! Ente proud and weak, do you feel good, want to calculate my means and try my resources? Actually, Viscount mine, the advice that I have angered me and I can not hide it. That
to hide his incredible stupidity in the matter of its head, I present you as a triumph for a moment to have embarrassed the shy woman who loves him, I agree, that it obtained a look, just one, I smile and what happened, they know, despite the small value of his behavior, wait hide my attention, flattered by the sublime effort to raise two boys, who are themselves burns himself to be seen, and that is by the way, due to me alone the ardor of his desires, I also concede that, in short, is created by these deeds authorized to say in a tone PhD, which is worth taking the time to implement their projects to count, that trait of vanity not hurting me and I forgive him. But you can believe I have need of your wisdom, if not derail I follow his advice, which I must sacrifice a pleasure, a treat! indeed, Viscount, is on his side too conceited to the trust you place remind you.
What have you done, then, that I have not surpassed a thousand times? You have seduced many women and even lost, but what has had to overcome difficulties? What obstacles to overcome?; Where do you find it worthwhile that is truly yours? A beautiful figure, pure effect of chance; grace, that the treatment of the world takes almost forever, real talent, it's true, but if necessary could be supplied with some verbosity, a boldness quite commendable, but perhaps only due to the ease of their first wins, if I mistake not, these are all qualities, for in terms of celebrity may have acquired, I will not require you to count for much art to seek or take advantage of the opportunity to make a scandal.
As to the wisdom and cunning, do not talk about me, but what most women would not you? President takes his hand as a child.
Believe me, viscount, rarely acquire the qualities that are essentially necessary. Fighting a risk should you act without caution. For you men, the losses are nothing less than winning. In this game so uneven, our fortune is the keep, and woe to you to not winning. Even if I grant you as much ability as ours how much advantage should not lead yet to the need for us to make continued use of our resources?
Suppose, in agreement, that you put so much skill to beat us in defending ourselves or give in. you at least agree that after the victory they are useless. Occupied only a new pleasure, indulge in it without fear and without reserve, it is not you who care about your life.
Indeed, these chains interact placed and received, to speak the language of love, you alone can, in narrowed or break choice: we even said, if, when you give in to their natural volatility, preferring the mystery scandal content with humiliating abandonment, and not make the idol of the day before the victim the following day.
But if a woman feels unhappy first the weight of the chain, what risks are not exposed if you break it, or dare only to shake? Can not but tremble when tested away from her the name your heart disgusted with violence.
If he persists in staying, she must grant the fear that soon remembered love.
His prudence must strain to unleash the same links that you had broken. Being available to your enemy, you have no recourse if he is not generous, and how can we expect it to be when, if ever is praised because it is, censorship is never the opposite?
certainly will not deny these truths, that their evidence has already trivial. If however you have seen me, having the events and opinions, make these men so terrible a game of my whims and my fantasies remove one will, and the other the power to harm me: if I managed alternatively, and according to the mobility of my tastes, draw me or send me away, "Tyrants overthrown, now my slave." themselves in the midst of these frequent revolutions my reputation has been kept pure, is it not because you think that I was born to avenge my sex, and his master, I have learned means unknown before creating me?
Ah! save you their advice and frantic fear for those women who call for strong feelings, which would exalted imagination to believe that nature has put his feeling in his head, not having ever thought, constantly confused love and lover that in their mad delusion, believe that only those with whom they have sought his pleasure is the sole repository, and indeed superstitious, priest agree to respect and belief that only due to the divine. Topic you
also those more vain than prudent, do not know if necessary consent to abandon them. Tremble
especially those active women, even when idle, you called sensitive, and which takes over the love so easily and so violently, they know the need to address certain way, even when not enjoy, and abandoning themselves without reserve to the fermentation of their ideas, create, for them, those letters as
delicious, but they are so dangerous for anyone who writes, and not afraid to trust the evidence of his weakness to the object itself to the cause, reckless that can not see in his current lover his future enemy.
But what do I have to do with these women inconsiderate? When you see me parting with the rules that I have prescribed, and miss my principles? I tell my principles, and I say with intention because they are not like other women, given the chance, received without consideration, and followed by habit: they are the fruit of my deep thoughts, I have created, and I can say I myself have made.
Introduced in the world, at the age that, still single, my state was reduced to silence and inaction, have taken advantage of both to observe and reflect. While I felt dazed or distracted me, listening to the truth, very little speech that I ran, put great care to hear that I wanted to hide.
This useful curiosity, while it served to teach me, taught me well to conceal, often forced to hide the objects of my attention to the eyes of those around me, I tried to guide my people as I wish, then I could get to use, as for me, this way of looking distracted has praised you often. Encouraged by this first victory, tried to regulate the same way the different movements of my face. If he had any regrets, he studied how to give me an air of serenity and even joy, and I carried my zeal to procure voluntary pains to study for them the expression of pleasure. I have tampered with equal care and more work, to suppress the symptoms of a gofo unexpected. So I have to take this empire on my face, that I have seen you so impressed sometimes.
I was very young yet, and offered little interest, but was the owner of my thoughts, and doubted that they could take them off or catch them against my will. Provided these new weapons, I wanted to be tried to use them, not content with not let them break my ideas, I had fun to show up in various ways, sure my manners, was careful in my words, managed both to the circumstances, or perhaps, just as my whims. Since that time I only knew my way of thinking, and did not show but I was useful.
This work done on myself had fixed my attention on the expression of the faces and character of the faces, and this year I managed to achieve a penetrating view of security, which, however, experience has taught me that I should not confide entirely, but in their results, rare Once I was deceived.
was not yet fifteen, and had the ability to most of our politicians owe their reputation, but still did not know the first elements of science I wanted to learn.
you imagine now, as all young people, I tried to guess what it was love and its pleasures, but having never been in the convent, not having a good friend and always watched my mother careful not had only vague ideas that could not fix, the very nature of which certainly have not had to complain later, I was not even any evidence. That could have been secretly working to perfect his work.
fermented
My head alone, did not want but I enjoy learning, and the desire to instruct the media I suggested.
realized that the only man with whom I could talk about it without committing, it was my confessor. Instantly take my party, my little ashamed throttle, and charged with an offense that did not commit, said he had done what women do. These were my words, but they did not know myself what he said. My hope was neither completely satisfied nor completely fooled: the fear prevented me enlighten sell, but the good father, I painted the great evil, I conceived that pleasure should be extreme, and the desire to know just what it was, happened to find out for myself.
I do not know where I would have taken this desire, and then lack of experience, perhaps on one occasion I had lost, happily for me. A few days later my mother told me that I was getting married and immediately assured that he would know what he wanted, went out of curiosity, and came virgin into the arms of Mr. Merteuil.
certainly hoped that would instruct the moment, and thought I needed to show pregnancy and shyness. That first night, which usually form an idea so cruel and so sweet, but I had the opportunity to gain experience: pain and pleasure, everything looked exactly, and saw in these different feelings, but facts that would collect and meditate. This kind of study came to like very soon, but, true to my principles, and know, perhaps instinctively, that my husband had to be further away than any of my confidence, I decided, therefore that I was sensitive, showing me impassively his eyes. This apparent coldness was henceforth the most solid foundation of his blind trust, I added, for further reflection, the air of bewilderment that allowed my age and not more girl I thought at times I praised him more boldly.
However, I admit, I let myself be dragged into the maelstrom of this world, and gave me absolutely to their futile pastimes. But after some months, having been Mr de Merteuil to his sad country house, annoy the fear raised again the taste for study, and found myself surrounded by people only by their distance from them to me, put under cover of any suspicion, I took this occasion to open more fields to my experiences. That's where I mainly made sure that the love that we painted as the cause of our pleasures, is, at best, but the pretext.
my husband's illness interrupted so sweet occupations was must accompany you to the city, where I had come for aid. Died, as you know, shortly thereafter, and although, in result, I had no reason to complain about it, let no less keenly appreciate the freedom that would leave me my widowhood, and I intended to take nicely.
My mother had to go back to the convent or to live with it. I refused to either party, and only consented for external decency, to return to the same cottage, where I still had some comments. The fortified by reading, but do not think that was all the species that has been imagined. I studied our habits in the romances, and our views on the philosophers, moralists looked at more severe as that required of us, and assured me of what could be done, what should think, and what needed to be pretending. Once set in these three objects, the latter only had some difficulties in implementation; expect to defeat, and pondered how.
I started to get tired of my rustic pleasures, too uniform for the activity of my head, I felt the need to become a coquette, to reconcile with the love, not experienced it myself, but to inspire you and pretend. In vain he told me, and I had read, he could not pretend this feeling, I saw, however, that to achieve this, enough wit coupled to an author of a comic talent. I exercise in both genders, and perhaps with some success, but instead of seeking the vain applause of the spectators, I decided to use in my particular that what others sacrificed to vanity.
A year was spent in these different occupations. Allowing me to introduce myself then my grief in the world, I returned to town with my big projects, and not expect to find the first obstacle I encountered. My long
my austere solitude and retreat, I had given an air of hypocrisy, our most enjoyable scare suitors, all away from me, leaving me given the multitude of annoying that everyone aspired to my hand. The difficulty was not refuse them, but many of these rejections disliked my family and I lost this time domestic altercations that I had proposed to use so delicious. I was therefore necessary to attract and repel each other, make explicit some inconsistencies, and used to damage my reputation all the careful thought put into preserving it. I got it very easily, as you may think, but not being taken away by any passion, but I did what I thought necessary, and carefully measured out the dose of my daze.
After I achieved so he wanted, turned back, and attributed the honor of my amendment to a portion of those women who could no longer expect to enjoy their summer thanks, trying to achieve for its intrinsic merits and virtues. This was an inspiration to me was worth more than what I expected. These owners, recognized, declared my apologists, and careful zeal for what they called his work was brought to the point that, at the least word that someone be allowed against me, all the party claimed he was a hypocrite scandal a grievance. With the same half gained the approval of all our women presumptuous, that persuaded me to decline to follow the same career that they, I was welcomed by the object of his praise, as many times wanted to prove that not everyone murmured.
Meanwhile, previous conduct had attracted my lovers, and to handle well between them and my protective infidels, I introduced myself as a sensitive woman, but difficult, to whom the excess of delicacy gave arms against love.
Then I started to deploy in the great drama of the same skills I had acquired, and my first care was to win the name of invincibility. To this end, men who did not like were always the only ones who had the air of accepting gifts. I served usefully to procure honor Had they been resisted, as I delivered without fear that he preferred a secret lover. But it did not allow my feigned shyness never venture into the world, and all eyes were fixed on the lover miserable sow.
You know how soon I decide. It is because I have noticed that the previous care are almost always those who make known the secret of women. Obres as you want, is not the same tone before after achievement. This difference does not escape the attentive observer, and I judged less dangerous drawing himself up proudly in the election to make them penetrate me. In addition, it won with the prevent the appearance of truth, which only we can judge.
These precautions, and not ever write, might seem excessive, and I, however, I have never believed enough. Deepening my heart and studying the other, I saw that there is no soul but has a secret that none cares to know, really I think the age has known better than us, and that the story of Samson could be perhaps a witty emblem. Yo, new Dalila, I tried, as she attempted to use my surprise this important secret. And how many modern Samsons I have not had the hair on the tip of my scissors? By the way, are no longer afraid, and the only ones who have allowed me sometimes humiliating. More docile and flexible to the other, I have obtained their discretion in the art of making them infidels so they do not believe me fickle, with a feigned friendship, confidence apparent, some procedere generous and flattering idea, retaining each, have been my only lover. Anyway, when I have missed the media, I have learned, knowing he was going to break, put down in advance the confidence that these dangerous men could have obtained, and putting them into ridicule, and slander.
What I'm saying, I've seen you practice continually, and now doubt my wisdom! Well, remember the times began to gifts, no other tribute I had liked so much, he wished to have seen him before. Seduced by its reputation, it seemed that he needed to complete my glory, and was eager to fight you melee. It's only my taste that I have mastered a moment. However, if you wanted to lose, what means would be found?; Vain speeches, which do not leave any impression that his reputation had made it suspicious, and a series of unlikely events, whose relationship had gone through an ill-conceived romance. In truth, after that time, I have found you all my secrets, but knows what are the interests that unite us, and we both me who deserves the title of reckless.
Since I deal to give explanations, I do exactly. From here I hear tell that I am at least at the mercy of my maid, in fact, you do not know the secret of my feelings, he knows my actions. When you told me about her past, he replied only that she was sure, and proof that this response was sufficient time for peace of mind, is that later entrusted to you, on their behalf, quite dangerous secrets. But now providing is concerned, and reiterates the view, I no longer will rely on my word. I, therefore, turn.
First, milk is my sister, and this link, we do not look it, it is for people of his class, besides, I I know his secret, and even better: a victim of a crazy love, was lost if I had not saved. His parents, filled with honor, they wanted nothing less than enclose, came to me, and since then I saw how useful it could Serme his anger. The favored, and got the order requested. Then, suddenly taking advantage of leniency, which drew their parents, and making use of my influence with the old minister, made all agree to let me repository of this order, and the owner to stop or to consent to its execution , as I judged the merit of behavior coming from the girl. Know therefore that his fate is in my hands, and even when a impossible these powerful media did not stop, is not it obvious that no one would believe when they publish their behavior and real punishment?
These precautions, which I call fundamental, added a thousand others that the place or the time provided, and that the reflection or habit they find when needed, which was meticulous detail, but whose practice is important, and that you should take the job of culling of all my conduct, if you want to get to know them.
But I want to have labored much for not picking the fruit, which, having gained so much superiority over other women, with my heavy work, consenting to drag them between recklessness and shyness, which, above all, a man subject to the point of view
no other means of saving the leak, no, Viscount, ever. It must win or die. Regarding Preven, I have you, and you'll have, want to publish, not publish it, in short, is our history. You pass it well, etc..

I Have A Slight Rash On My Forehead
LETTER LXIII: LA Marquise de Merteuil AL Vicomte de Valmont
course I can explain Danceny ticket. The event that made him write is my doing, and in my opinion masterpiece. I have not wasted time since receiving the last letter to you, and I said as the architect of Athens: "What he says I will." With obstacles that are necessary to that beautiful hero novel and sleeps in the bosom of his happiness! Not worry about me! I'll keep him occupied, and I bet that your sleep will not be so quiet onwards. Was necessary to show what it's worth the time, and I flatter myself that now feels he has lost. It was necessary, you say well, he needed more mystery: Well, this need not miss him and I have that good, that hardly makes me know my faults, I do not rest until the whole repair. And see, then, I've done.
Entering my house before yesterday morning, I read your letter and found it light. Convinced that perfectly indicated the cause of evil, I focused only on finding how to heal. However, I started to sleep, because my indefatigable gentleman had not let me sleep a moment and felt sleepy, but it was not entirely occupied Danceny, the desire to do their indolence or punish him for it would not let me paste eyes, and only when I had concluded my plan, I could stand for two hours.
night I went to Madame de Volanges, and according to my plan I confided that he believed to be certain that existed between his daughter and a friend Danceny dangerous. This woman, so insightful about you, I was so blind that I instantly replied that surely I was mistaken, that his daughter was a child, etc., Etc. I could not tell all he knew, but he cited certain expressions, certain looks that alarmed my virtue, my friend. Finally talked about as well as you would a devout, and to give the decisive blow stretched me to say he thought he saw a letter giving and receiving. "This reminds me that one day she opened a drawer in front of me his paper in which I saw many papers that no doubt saved. Do you know if you have frequent correspondence?" Then the face of Mrs. Volanges moved and saw that he burst into tears. "I give you a thousand thanks, my good friend, I said squeezing my hand. I'll find out"
After this conversation, too short for the unsuspecting girl, I approached her, and I left her soon, to tell the mother that I did not commit to her daughter. He promised me the more willingly, as I did note that it is fortunate that the girl take me enough confidence to open up your heart and put myself in my ability to give wise advice. What makes me expect me to keep the promise, is no doubt that your daughter wants to boast of his own penetration. Thus I was allowed to continue in my tone of friendship with the girl without seeming false to his mother's eyes, what I wanted to avoid. Also won the hereafter stay with her how long and how closely he wanted.
took advantage of it the night itself, and when I finished my departure, I took a corner to my girl and struck up a conversation about Danceny, on which he never needed to say. I had fun in hull lift taste speaking it would have to see him the next day, and there was kind of crazy to do him no say. It was necessary to give in hopes soon as he took off in reality, and this should make the blow more sensitive, because it is convinced that the more you have suffered much more quickly will be in revenge for the first time. Lately, it is good to get used to the big hauls him who goes to great adventures.
In short, should not pay with a few tears the pleasure to enjoy him that Danceny? She's crazy about him, well, I assure you that we accomplished, and I would not have had without this storm. It is an unpleasant dream whose awakening will be delicious, and all well calculated, I think you should be grateful to me, in effect, although there was some malice on my part, it should have a little fun: To our delight there are fools in the world.
Anyway, I left very happy with myself.
O Danceny, I told myself, excited with the obstacles will be doubly in love, and then serve him with all my effectiveness, or if there is more than a silly, like sometimes I think, will become desperate and will to beat: in this case at least I'll be revenged on him as will have been in my hand and I will have earned more step estimation of the mother, the friendship of the daughter and the confidence of both. As Gercourt, I must be very unhappy or very awkward, if the owner and his wife's heart, I find a thousand ways to make it what I want. With this nice plan in mind I went to bed and slept very well, and woke up too late
.
Opening my eyes I found two notes: one from the mother and a daughter, and I could not help laughing reading in both the same phrase: "From you just hope some comfort." Is not it something to comfort both for and against, and be sole agent of two directly conflicting interests? See me as you and as the Divinity, receiving the wishes of the blind found dead and do not change my immutable decrees. He left, however, this use by the consoling angel, and, according to the precept, I went to visit my friends in distress.
I started with the mother. I've found so sad that this only comes to you, in part, of the obstacles that she suffers because of its beautiful devotee. Everything went perfectly. My only care was that the mother had not taken the time to gain the trust of his daughter, which would have been very easy, her using the language of tenderness and friendship, and giving advice on the reason the air and tone of indulgent tenderness. Fortunately, the severity has been used and, finally, has driven all the bad that I could want. Certainly it has been for all of our plan to bring down the resolution he had taken his daughter back to the convent, but I have stopped the coup, persuading her to make only a threat to the case where Danceny follow the same procedure, and I carried it looks to force the two to some restraint now seems necessary for achievement.
then I see the daughter. Beautifies much the pain! With little flirt you do, cry often, but this After crying without malice. I surprised this new charm did not know and had infinite pleasure in preserving, so I gave him no sooner than those tasteless tips that increase the penalties more than mitigate, and thus put it in terms that would fall convulsions. I advised her to lie down, and agreed, pouring me a maid. Had not arranged her hair, and soon her hair fell loose on her shoulders, and her throat bare, I kissed her, she fell into my arms, and their tears turned to run. Oh God, how beautiful it was! Magdalena If so, should be much more dangerous as penitent as sinful!
So the desolate beauty was in her bed, then I started to comfort her in good faith. Reassured her spot by the fear of returning to the convent. I did hopes of seeing Danceny in secret and, sitting on his bed: "If you were here!" I said, and then on this topic, distraction from distraction led her not to remember more than I was afflicted. We would have entirely separate friends if I had not wanted to entrust a letter to Danceny, which I refused, and see you my reasons, acting in fixed.
course was Danceny commit to, and if this was the only excuse I could give Cecile, you to me There are many others. Would not risk the fruits of my work as soon providing these lovers the easy way to soothe their sorrows? Also, do not force them to weigh me some servants involved in this venture, because, after all, if we do, I hope, will need to be reported immediately to the wedding, and there are few safer means, or if miracle servants not speak, so will we, and be more convenient to attribute to them the folly.
Force, therefore giving you today Danceny this idea, and as I'm not sure the maid of Cecil, which she doubts, tell my faithful Victorine. I will look to step out well. This idea pleases me more as that trust will only be useful for us and not them, because I'm not after my story.
As I refused me to take care of the girl's letter, he feared every moment that I decided to send it off to what could not refuse. Fortunately, it was so distraught he was, through ignorance or because he cared more than the response letter, which
not have been obtained in this way, I talked about this thing, but to prevent him came the idea, or unless you take advantage, took the time my party, and returning to the room mother, I decided to move away for some time from Paris to his daughter, to take her the field. And where? What! Your heart beats with joy not? ... A house of her aunt you, Madame de Rosemonde. Today it should tell you. That already authorized to go see his devoted, would not reproach him since the scandal to be alone with you, and thanks to my care, the same lady Volanges repair the wrong he has done.
But hear me well and not so exclusively occupying their own issues, losing sight of it, think how much I care. I want you to be a correspondent and youth counselor. Report, therefore, this trip to Danceny, and offer their services. But find no difficulty to reach the hands of the beautiful letter card, and overcome the obstacle immediately, indicating the middle of my maid. There is no doubt that he will accept, and you, as a reward for their work, gain the trust of a new heart in love, so it is always interesting. Poor thing! How to blush to give you your first card! In fact, this role of confidant, against which there are so many concerns, it seems a very pleasant entertainment when you have occupation on the other hand, and in this case you will be.
the care is the outcome of this intrigue. Judge what is the right time to meet the actors. The course offers a thousand ways, and Danceny no doubt, will soon go to the first signal that you provide. One night, a disguise, a window ... What do I know? But anyway, if the girl is back in the same state that has gone, I'll blame you. If you think you need some new stimulus for me, say so. I think having given a good lesson about the danger there is in store cards, to dare to write, always follow the idea of making it a disciple of mine.
I think I forgot to tell you that your suspicions point to the discovery of his correspondence, had fallen on her maid, but I made them fall on your confessor. This is killing two birds with one stone.
Goodbye Viscount mine, a long time I'm writing, and my food has slowed, but the esteem and friendship have given my letter, and both are talkative, but otherwise, you will receive it at three, and which is sufficient . Complain
me now, if you dare, and go to see if you're tempted to mount the Count B ***. You say that it retains for the pleasure of his friends. How this man is friends with everyone? Goodbye, I have hunger.

So the desolate beauty was in her bed, then I started to comfort her in good faith. Reassured her spot by the fear of returning to the convent. I did hopes of seeing Danceny in secret and, sitting on his bed: "If you were here!" I said, and then on this topic, distraction from distraction led her not to remember more than I was afflicted. We would have entirely separate friends if I had not wanted to entrust a letter to Danceny, which I refused, and see you my reasons, acting in fixed.
course was Danceny commit to, and if this was the only excuse I could give Cecile, you to me There are many others. Would not risk the fruits of my work as soon providing these lovers the easy way to soothe their sorrows? Also, do not force them to weigh me some servants involved in this venture, because, after all, if we do, I hope, will need to be reported immediately to the wedding, and there are few safer means, or if miracle servants not speak, so will we, and be more convenient to attribute to them the folly.
Force, therefore giving you today Danceny this idea, and as I'm not sure the maid of Cecil, which she doubts, tell my faithful Victorine. I will look to step out well. This idea pleases me more as that trust will only be useful for us and not them, because I'm not after my story.
As I refused me to take care of the girl's letter, he feared every moment that I decided to send it off to what could not refuse. Fortunately, it was so distraught he was, through ignorance or because he cared more than the response letter, which
not have been obtained in this way, I talked about this thing, but to prevent him came the idea, or unless you take advantage, took the time my party, and returning to the room mother, I decided to move away for some time from Paris to his daughter, to take her the field. And where? What! Your heart beats with joy not? ... A house of her aunt you, Madame de Rosemonde. Today it should tell you. That already authorized to go see his devoted, would not reproach him since the scandal to be alone with you, and thanks to my care, the same lady Volanges repair the wrong he has done.
But hear me well and not so exclusively occupying their own issues, losing sight of it, think how much I care. I want you to be a correspondent and youth counselor. Report, therefore, this trip to Danceny, and offer their services. But find no difficulty to reach the hands of the beautiful letter card, and overcome the obstacle immediately, indicating the middle of my maid. There is no doubt that he will accept, and you, as a reward for their work, gain the trust of a new heart in love, so it is always interesting. Poor thing! How to blush to give you your first card! In fact, this role of confidant, against which there are so many concerns, it seems a very pleasant entertainment when you have occupation on the other hand, and in this case you will be.
the care is the outcome of this intrigue. Judge what is the right time to meet the actors. The course offers a thousand ways, and Danceny no doubt, will soon go to the first signal that you provide. One night, a disguise, a window ... What do I know? But anyway, if the girl is back in the same state that has gone, I'll blame you. If you think you need some new stimulus for me, say so. I think having given a good lesson about the danger there is in store cards, to dare to write, always follow the idea of making it a disciple of mine.
I think I forgot to tell you that your suspicions point to the discovery of his correspondence, had fallen on her maid, but I made them fall on your confessor. This is killing two birds with one stone.
Goodbye Viscount mine, a long time I'm writing, and my food has slowed, but the esteem and friendship have given my letter, and both are talkative, but otherwise, you will receive it at three, and which is sufficient . Complain
me now, if you dare, and go to see if you're tempted to mount the Count B ***. You say that it retains for the pleasure of his friends. How this man is friends with everyone? Goodbye, I have hunger.

LETTER LIV: LA Marquise de Merteuil AL Vicomte de Valmont
Oh! if indeed we have much to learn from Danceny. If you said something, he has boasted of it: since I am a silly man in matters of love, and I regret more and more of the benefits that he got. Do you know that I am mad because of her compromised? And all in pure waste. Oh! I will be avenged, I swear.
When I went yesterday to Madame de Volanges, refused to leave, feeling a little unwell, my eloquence was required to decide: and saw the time was coming Danceny before could leave, it would have been much more awkward Madame de Volanges as he had said yesterday, that tomorrow would not be at home. His daughter and I were in a jam. In short, we, and she squeezed my hand so warmly to say goodbye, despite its plan break, I promised wonders of that appointment.
had not done anything yet disturbing. Half an hour was just that we were at home of Mrs. D. .. when the de Volanges felt bad, but seriously wrong, and as was natural and just wanted to be driven home, I loved him so much unless, as was to bet, were surprised together youth, feared that the instances I had done to the mother to leave, arrived to give her suspicions. I took the game to scare you with his delicate health, which happily is not difficult, and stood there hour and a half before returning to his house, pretending to fear about the effect of movement of the car. Finally, not return until the appointed time.
From the looks of shame that I noticed when we entered, I confess I expected that at least my work had not been lost.
The desire to know what had happened, I did stay with Madame de Volanges, who slept instantly. After having dinner next to his bed, then left, on the pretext that he needed rest, and spent the fourth of his daughter. It has done its part as I expected it; scruples aside, new oaths to love life, etc., Etc.: In short, was delivered with all possible grace, but the fool has Danceny past a single line just where it was before. Oh! While you can quarrel with him reconciliations are not dangerous. Ensures
girl, however, that he wanted more, but she has been able to defend themselves. Bet that is bragging or excuse and I'm almost sure of it.
Indeed, the fad came to know what to expect on defense as he could, exalting their imagination, to the point that ... believe me, friend, no girl whose senses are easier to surprise. True that most lovable creature. Deserved a lover of another sort, but, at least, have a friend, because I fond it in all sincerity. I promised to form his heart and I think keep my word. Many times I have felt the need to have a confident woman, and would prefer for this to anyone else, but I can not do anything until it is already ... what it needs to be, the more reason to get angry with Danceny.
Goodbye, my Viscount am not come to me if not for the morning. He yielded to the request of the gentleman, giving him spend the night at my house well-known.

LETTER LI: the Marquise de Merteuil AL Vicomte de Valmont
Actually, my dear viscount, you are unbearable. You treat me with as little formality as his entourage. Do you know that I finally get mad, and now I'm in a terrible mood? What! Should you see Danceny tomorrow morning? You know how important it is to talk before and, without worrying about this, what do you expect me throughout the day, I do not know where to run? Because you have come to Madame de Volanges ridiculously late, and that all the old I have found too precious. I have been forced thousand caresses them overnight in order to appease them, because it should not upset the seventy-year-old, because of which depends on the reputation of the young.
has given one in the morning, and instead of going to bed, but I can not stand on my feet, it is necessary to write this long letter, which will intensify my desire to sleep with the nuisance that will give me. You are fortunate in that I have no more time to scold. Do not believe why I forgive, but I'm in a hurry. Listen, then, and the fact. For very skillful you are, must earn the trust of Danceny morning. The time is favorable, since it is now miserable.
She has gone to confession and revealed everything as simple. Since then frightens the fear of the devil who wants to break absolutely any dealings with her lover. He told me all his scruples with a vehemence that makes me see how exalted is your imagination. It has taught me what he has written to break, and is a charter of cappuccino. He has talked an hour without saying a word that has common sense, but not much longer pregnant, because you understand that I could not run the risk of cross with such a poor head.
However, amid all his talk, I saw that so loves its Danceny least, and even I noticed one of the remedies that employ never ceases to love, and I see that this girl is a victim of a rather curious. Tormented by the desire to take care of their loved and the fear of damnation, has thought to ask God to make him forget, and as renewed this prayer at every moment of the day, find the means to think of him constantly.
With another world that had more Danceny, this small incident would perhaps be more favorable than otherwise, but the boy is so regarded, if we do not help, you will need much time to overcome the smaller obstacles, which will not leave us enough to make our project.
You're right, it's too bad, and I feel I, that is the hero of this adventure, but what do you want? Indeed it is hopeless, and your fault. I wanted to see their response 14 and has given me a pity. Fatigue test is rightly, that a sense involuntary, can not be a crime, as if it should cease to involuntary from the time that is left to fight. This reflection is so simple that the girl it has made. He complains about his misfortune in a rather pathetic, but his pain is so cute, and look so strong and so honest, I have for it impossible for a woman who finds the time to despair of a man with so little danger, not tempted to satisfy his whim. Just, well, explaining that it is safe as she thought, and is, without doubt, the best thing that says, for if it is delivered to love monastic knights of Malta certainly do not deserve to give them preference.
Anyway, instead of wasting time on arguments that I had committed, perhaps not persuade her, I have approved its proposed breakup, but I said it was more decorous, if so, that the reasons to write them, that use also requires the return of letters and other trifles that may have received, and so, taking the air to take their ideas, I've decided to make an appointment to Danceny. At the moment we entered the way, I've taken care of her mother decide to leave tomorrow for home without her daughter after noon tomorrow will be the turning point. Danceny is already reported, but by God, if you find time, you decide this languid lover to make less melted, teach you, since they have to teach everything that the real way to overcome the scruples, it's not leave nothing to lose, in this particular, that have them.
Moreover, in order not to repeat a scene so ridiculous, I have not ceased to raise some doubts in the mind of this girl on the discretion of the confessors, and I assure you pay now fear that has given me with whom she has herself that theirs is not going to tell all to his mother. I hope that after I have had one or two conversations with her, does not go to tell their nonsense to come first.
Goodbye, my Viscount. Danceny you make it your own, and guide you. It would be shameful thing that we could succeed in doing what we want of two boys. If we find it more difficult than we thought, designed to encourage you, it is the daughter of Madame de Volanges, and I, who must be Gercourt wife someday. Goodbye.
