The old physician at Vigano, who had come to Marie-Anne’s aid, was an honorable man. His intellect was of a superior order, and his heart was equal to his intelligence. He knew life; he had loved and suffered, and he possessed1 two sublime2 virtues3 — forbearance and charity.
It was easy for such a man to read Marie-Anne’s character; and while he was at the Borderie he endeavored in every possible way to reassure4 her, and to restore the self-respect of the unfortunate girl who had confided5 in him.
Had he succeeded? He certainly hoped so.
But when he departed and Marie-Anne was again left in solitude7, she could not overcome the feeling of despondency that stole over her.
Many, in her situation, would have regained8 their serenity9 of mind, and even rejoiced. Had she not succeeded in concealing10 her fault? Who suspected it, except, perhaps, the abbe.
Hence, Marie-Anne had nothing to fear, and everything to hope.
But this conviction did not appease11 her sorrow. Hers was one of those pure and proud natures that are more sensitive to the whisperings of conscience than to the clamors of the world.
She had been accused of having three lovers — Chanlouineau, Martial12, and Maurice. The calumny13 had not moved her. What tortured her was what these people did not know — the truth.
