 For a month this unpleasant state of affairs continued, every day growing worse, and Clotilde suffered especially at seeing that Pascal now locked up everything. He had no longer the same tranquil1 confidence in her as before, and this wounded her so deeply that, if she had at any time found the press open, she would have thrown the papers into the fire as her grandmother Felicite had urged her to do. And the disagreements began again, so that they often remained without speaking to each other for two days together.

Fifteen years before, when he was seventeen, Maxime had had a child by a servant whom he had seduced3. His father Saccard, and his stepmother Renee--the latter vexed4 more especially at his unworthy choice--had acted in the matter with indulgence.
