Our Excursion — Parting From Clementine — I Leave Milan With Croce’s Mistress My Arrival At Genoa

The ancients, whose fancy was so fertile in allegory, used to figure Innocence1 as playing with a serpent or with a sharp arrow. These old sages2 had made a deep study of the human heart; and whatever discoveries modern science may have made, the old symbols may still be profitably studied by those who wish to gain a deep insight into the working of man’s mind.

I went to bed, and after having dismissed Clairmont I began to reflect on my relations with Clementine, who seemed to have been made to shine in a sphere from which, in spite of her high birth, her intelligence, and her rare beauty, her want of fortune kept her apart. I smiled to myself at her doctrines3, which were as much as to say that the best way of curing appetite was to place a series of appetising dishes before a hungry man, forbidding him to touch them. Nevertheless I could but approve the words which she had uttered with such an air of innocence — that if one resists desires, there is no danger of one being humiliated4 by giving way to them.

This humiliation5 would arise from a feeling of duty, and she honoured me by supposing that I had as high principles as herself. But at the same time the motive6 of self-esteem7 was also present, and I determined8 not to do anything which would deprive me of her confidence.

As may be imagined, I did not awake till very late the next morning, and when I rang my bell Clementine came in, looking very pleased, and holding a copy of the Pastor10 Fido in her hand. She wished me good day, and said she had read the first act, and that she thought it very beautiful, and told me to get up that we might read the second together before dinner.
