I went up to him all the same as if I had seen nothing in his face embraced him and said When did you come father Last night. Did you come straight here as usual Yes. I am very sorry not to have been here to receive you. I expected that the sermon which my father s cold face threatened would begin at once but he said nothing sealed the letter which he had just written and gave it to Joseph to post. When we were alone my father rose and leaning against the mantel-piece said to me My dear Armand we have serious matters to discuss. I am listening father. You promise me to be frank Am I not accustomed to be so Is it not true that you are living with a woman called Marguerite Gautier Yes. Do you know what this woman was A kept woman. And it is for her that you have forgotten to come and see your sister and me this year Yes father I admit it. You are very much in love with this woman You see it father since she has made me fail in duty toward you for which I humbly ask your forgiveness to-day. My father no doubt was not expecting such categorical answers for he seemed to reflect a moment and then said to me You have of course realized that you can not always live like that I fear so father but I have not realized it. But you must realize continued my father in a dryer tone that I at all events should not permit it. I have said to myself that as long as I did nothing contrary to the respect which I owe to the traditional probity of the family I could live as I am living and this has reassured me somewhat in regard to the fears I have had. Passions are formidable enemies to sentiment. I was prepared for every struggle even with my father in order that I might keep Marguerite. Then the moment is come when you must live otherwise. Why father .
