CHAPTER VII

He felt, when he found himself unobserved and outside, that he must plunge1 into violent action, walk fast and far and defer2 the opportunity for thought. He strode away into the forest, swinging his cane3, throwing back his head, casting his eyes into verdurous vistas4 and following the road without a purpose. He felt immensely excited, but could have given no straight name to his agitation5. It was a joy as all increase of freedom is joyous6; something seemed to have been cleared out of his path and his destiny to have rounded a cape7 and brought him into sight of an open sea. But it was a pain in the degree in which his freedom somehow resolved itself into the need of despising all mankind with a single exception; and the fact that Madame de Mauves inhabited a planet contaminated by the presence of the baser multitude kept elation9 from seeming a pledge of ideal bliss10.
There she was, at any rate, and circumstances now forced them to be intimate. She had ceased to have what men call a secret for him, and this fact itself brought with it a sort of rapture11. He had no prevision that he should “profit,” in the vulgar sense, by the extraordinary position into which they had been thrown; it might be but a cruel trick of destiny to make hope a harsher mockery and renunciation a keener suffering. But above all this rose the conviction that she could do nothing that wouldn’t quicken his attachment12
