"Begone, Father," I replied, horror-struck, "begone, you are a monster to dare so cruelly take advantage of my circumstances in order to force upon me the alternatives of death or infamy1; I shall know how to die, if die I must, but 'twill be to die sinless."
 
"As you like," quoth the cruel man as he prepared to withdraw; "I have never been one to impose happiness upon reluctant people.... Virtue2 has so handsomely served you until the present, Therese, you are quite right to worship at its altar... good-bye: above all, let it not occur to you to ask for me again."
 
He was leaving; an unconquerable impulse drew me to his knees yet another time.
 
"Tiger!" I exclaimed through my tears, "open your granite3 heart, let my appalling4 misadventures melt it, and do not, in order to conclude them, do not impose conditions more dreadful to me than death itself...."
 
The violence of my movements had disturbed what veiled my breast, it was naked, my disheveled hair fell in cascades6 upon it, it was wetted thoroughly7 by my tears; I quicken desires in the dishonest man... desires he wants to satisfy on the spot; he dares discover to me to what point my state arouses them; he dares dream of pleasures lying in the middle of the chains binding8 me and beneath the sword which is poised9 to smite10 me... I was upon my knees... he flings me backward, leaps upon me, there we lie upon the wretched straw I use for a bed; I wish to cry out, he stuffs his handkerchief into my mouth; he ties my arms; master of me, the infamous11 creature examines me everywhere... everything becomes prey12 to his gaze, his fingerings, his perfidious13 caresses14; at last, he appeases15 his desires.
 
"Listen to me," says he, untying16 me and readjusting his costume, "you do not want me to be helpful, all very well; I am leaving you; I'll neither aid nor harm you, but if it enters your head to breathe a word of what has just happened, I will, by charging you with yet more enormous crimes, instantly deprive you of all means of defending yourself; reflect carefully before jabbering18... I am taken for your confessor... now hark: we are permitted to reveal anything and all when 'tis a question of a criminal; fully17 approve what I am going to say to your warden19, or else I'll crush you like a fly."
 
He knocks, the jailer appears.
 
"Monsieur," says the traitor20, "the nice young lady is in error; she wished to speak to a Father Antonin who is now in Bordeaux; I have no acquaintance of her, never have I even set eyes upon her: she besought21 me to hear her confession22, I did so, I salute23 you and her and shall always be ready to present myself when my ministry24 is esteemed25 important."
 
Upon uttering these words, Antonin departs and leaves me as much bewildered by his fraudulence as revolted by his libertinage26 and insolence27.
 
My situation was so dreadful that, whatever it might be, I could ill afford not to employ every means at my disposal; I recollected28 Monsieur de Saint-Florent: in the light of my behavior toward him, I was incapable29 of believing this man could underestimate my character; once long ago I had rendered him a most important service, he had dealt most cruelly with me, and therefore I imagined he could not, in my presently critical plight30, very well refuse to make reparation for the wrongs he had done me; no, I was sure he would at least have to acknowledge, as best he were able, what I had so generously done in his behalf; passions' heat might have blinded him upon the two occasions I had held commerce with him; there had been some sort of excuse for his former horrors, but in this instance, it seemed to me, no feeling should prevent him from coming to my aid.... Would he renew his last proposals? to the assistance I was going to request from him would he attach the condition I must agree to the frightful31 employments he had outlined to me before? ah, very well! I'd accept and, once free, I should easily discover the means to extricate32 myself from the abominable33 kind of existence into which he might have the baseness to lure34 me. Full of these ideas, I write a letter to him, I describe my miseries35, I beg him to visit me; but I had not devoted36 adequate thought to analyzing37 this man's soul when I supposed it susceptible38 of infiltration39 by beneficence; I either did not sufficiently40 remember his appalling theories, or my wretched weakness constantly forcing me to use my own heart as the standard by which to judge others, fancied this man was bound to comport41 himself toward me as I should certainly have done toward him.
 
He arrives; and, as I have asked to see him alone, he is freely introduced into my cell. From the marks of respect showered profusely42 upon him it was easy to determine the eminent43 position he held in Lyon.#p#分页标题#e#
 
"Why, it's you!" said he, casting scornful eyes upon me, "I was deceived by the letter; I thought it written by a woman more honest than you and whom I would have helped with all my heart; but what would you have me do for an imbecile of your breed? What! you're guilty of a hundred crimes one more shocking than the other, and when someone suggests a way for you to earn your livelihood44 you stubbornly reject the proposal? Never has stupidity been carried to these lengths."
 
"Oh, Monsieur I" I cried, "I am not in the least guilty."
 
"Then what the devil must one do in order to be?" the harsh creature sharply rejoined. "The first time in my life I clapped eyes on you, there you were, in the thick of a pack of bandits who wanted to assassinate45 me; and now it is in the municipal prison I discover you, accused of three or four new crimes and wearing, so they tell me, a mark on your shoulder which proclaims your former misdeeds. If that is what you designate by the word honest, do inform me of what it would require not to be."
 
"Just Heaven, Monsieur!" I replied, "can you excoriate46 that period in my life when I knew you, and should it not rather be for me to make you blush at the memory of what passed then? You know very well, Monsieur, the bandits who captured you, and amongst whom you found me, kept me with them by force; they wanted to kill you, I saved your life by facilitating your escape while making mine; and what, cruel man, did you do to thank me for my aid? is it possible you can recall your actions without horror? You yourself wanted to murder me; you dazed me by terrible blows and, profiting from my half-unconscious state, you snatched from me what I prized most highly; through an unexampled refinement47 of cruelty, you plundered48 me of the little money I possessed49 quite as if you had desired to summon humiliation50 and misery51 to complete your victim's obliteration52! And great was your success, barbaric one! indeed, it has been entire; 'tis you who precipitated53 me into desolation; 'tis you who made the abyss to yawn, and 'tis thanks to you I fell into it and have not ceased to fall since that accursed moment. "Nevertheless, Monsieur, I would forget it all, yes, everything is effaced54 from my memory, I even ask your pardon for daring to upbraid55 you for what is past, but can you hide from yourself the fact that some recompense, some gratitude56 is owing to me? Ah, deign57 not to seal up your heart when the wing of death brushes its shadow over my unhappy days; 'tis not death I fear, but disgrace; save me from the dread5 horror of a criminal's end: all I demand from you comes to that single mercy, refuse me it not, and both Heaven and my heart will reward you someday."
 
I was weeping, I was upon my knees before this ferocious58 man and, far from reading upon his face the effect I thought I should be able to expect from the disturbances59 I flattered myself I was producing in his soul, I distinguished60 nothing but a muscular alteration61 caused by that sort of lust62 whose germinal origins are in cruelty. Saint-Florent was seated opposite me; his wicked dark eyes considered me in a dreadful manner, and I noticed his hand glide63 to a certain sector64 and his fingers begin to perform those certain motions which indicated I was putting him in a state which was by no means that of pity; he concealed65 himself withal, and, getting to his feet:
 
"Look here," he said, "your case rests entirely66 in the hands of Monsieur de Cardoville; I need not tell you what official post he occupies; it suffices that you know your fate depends absolutely upon him; he and I have been intimate friends since childhood; I shall speak to him; if he agrees to a few arrangements, you will be called for at sunset and in order that he may see you, you'll be brought to either his home or mine; such an interrogation, wrapped in secrecy67, will make it much simpler to turn matters in your favor, which could not possibly be done here. If he consents to bestow68 the favor, justify69 yourself when you have your interview with him, prove your innocence70 to him in a persuasive71 manner; that is all I can do for you. Adieu, Therese, keep yourself ready for any eventuality and above all do not have me waste my time taking futile72 measures." Saint-Florent left.
 
Nothing could have equaled my perplexity; there had been so little harmony between that man's remarks, the character I knew him to have, and his actual conduct, that I dreaded73 yet further pitfalls74; but, Madame, pause a moment and decide whether I was right or wrong; was I in a position to hesitate? for my position was desperate; and was I not obliged to leap at everything which had the semblance75 of assistance? Hence I decided76 to accompany the persons who would come to fetch me; should I be compelled to prostitute myself, I would put up what defense77 I could; was it to death I was to be led? too bad; it would not, at least, be ignominious78, and I would be rid of all my sufferings. Nine o'clock strikes, the jailer appears, I tremble.#p#分页标题#e#
 
"Follow me," that Cerberus says; "you are wanted by Messieurs Saint-Florent and de Cardoville; consider well and take advantage, as it befits you, of the favor Heaven offers you; there are many here who might desire such a blessing79 and who will never obtain it."
