This appeal�察�both by looks and by language�察�increased The trouble Matilda felt grow in her breast。 Still she spoke with what calmness she could ;Sir�察�the while I thank you�察─�she said�察�with a faint scornful smile�察 �For your fervor in painting my fancied distress�此�Allow me the right some surprise to express At the zeal you betray in disclosing to me The possible depth of my own misery。; ;That zeal would not startle you�察�madam�察─�he said�察 �Could you read in my heart�察�as myself I have read�察�The peculiar interest which causes that zeal;
Matilda her terror no more could conceal。 ;Duke�察─�she answer'd in accents short�察�cold and severe�察�As she rose from her seat�察 �I continue to hear�察�But permit me to say�察�I no more understand。; ;Forgive� ─�with a nervous appeal of the hand�察�And a well´feign'd confusion of voice and of look�察 �Forgive�察�oh�察�forgive me� ─�at once cried the Duke ;I forgot that you know me so slightly。 Your leave I entreat ��from your anger those words to retrieve�� For one moment to speak of myself��for I think That you wrong me; His voice�察�as in pain�察�seem'd to sink And tears in his eyes�察�as he lifted them�察�glisten'd。

;Beneath an exterior which seems�察�and may be�察�Worldly�察�frivolous�察�careless�察�my heart hides in me�察─�He continued�察 �a sorrow which draws me to side With all things that suffer。 Nay�察�laugh not�察─�he cried�察 �At so strange an avowal。 ;I seek at a ball�察�For instance��the beauty admired by all�拭�No� �some plain�察�insignificant creature�察�who sits Scorn'd of course by the beauties�察�and shunn'd by the wits。 All the world is accustom'd to wound�察�or neglect�察�Or oppress�察�claims my heart and commands my respect。 No Quixote�察�I do not affect to belong�察�I admit�察�to those charter'd redressers of wrong�察�But I seek to console�察�where I can。 'Tis a part Not brilliant�察�I own�察�yet its joys bring no smart。; These trite words�察�from the tone which he gave them�察�received An appearance of truth which might well be believed By a heart shrewder yet than Matilda's。 And so He continued 。 。 。 ;O lady� �alas�察�could you know What injustice and wrong in this world I have seen� �How many a woman�察�believed to have been Without a regret�察�I have known turn aside To burst into heartbroken tears undescried� �On how many a lip have I witness'd the smile Which but hid what was breaking the poor heart the while� ─�Said Matilda�察 �Your life�察�it would seem�察�then�察�must be One long act of devotion; ;Perhaps so�察─�said he�察 �But at least that devotion small merit can boast�察�For one day may yet come��if ONE day at the most�察�When�察�perceiving at last all the differencehow great� �Twixt the heart that neglects�察�and the heart that can wait�察�Twixt the natures that pity�察�the natures that pain�察�Some woman�察�that else might have pass'd in disdain Or indifference by me��in passing that day Might pause with a word or a smile to repay This devotion��and then; 。 。 。

To Matilda's relief At that moment her husband approach'd。 With some grief I must own that her welcome�察�perchance�察�was express'd The more eagerly just for one twinge in her breast Of a conscience disturb'd�察�and her smile not less warm�察�Though she saw the Comtesse de Nevers on his arm。 The Duke turn'd and adjusted his collar。 Thought he�察 �Good� �the gods fight my battle to´night。 I foresee That the family doctor's the part I must play。 Very well� �but the patients my visits shall pay。; Lord Alfred presented Lucile to his wife�察�And Matilda�察�repressing with effort the strife Of emotions which made her voice shake�察�murmur'd low Some faint�察�troubled greeting。 The Duke�察�with a bow Which betoken'd a distant defiance�察�replied To Lucile's startled cry�察�as surprised she descried Her former gay wooer。 Anon�察�with the grace Of that kindness which seeks to win kindness�察�her place She assumed by Matilda�察�unconscious�察�perchance�察�Or resolved not to notice the half´frighten'd glance�察�That follow'd that movement。 The Duke to his feet Arose�察�and�察�in silence�察�relinquish'd his seat。 One must own that the moment was awkward for all But nevertheless�察�before long�察�the strange thrall Of Lucile's gracious tact was by every one felt�察�And from each the reserve seem'd�察�reluctant�察�to melt�察�Thus�察�conversing together�察�the whole of the four Thro' the crowd saunter'd smiling。

Approaching the door�察�Eugene de Luvois�察�who had fallen behind�察�By Lucile�察�after some hesitation�察�was join'd。 With a gesture of gentle and kindly appeal�察�Which appear'd to imply�察�without words�察 �Let us feel That the friendship between us in years that are fled�察�Has survived one mad moment forgotten�察─�she said�此 �You remain�察�Duke�察�at Ems�拭─ �He turn'd on her a look Of frigid�察�resentful�察�and sullen rebuke�察�And then�察�with a more than significant glance At Matilda�察�maliciously answer'd�察 �Perchance。 I have here an attraction。 And you�拭─�he return'd。 Lucile's eyes had follow'd his own�察�and discern'd The boast they implied。 He repeated�察 �And you�拭─�And�察�still watching Matilda�察�she answer'd�察 �I too。; And he thought�察�as with that word she left him�察�she sigh'd。 The next moment her place she resumed by the side Of Matilda�察�and they soon shook hands at the gate Of the selfsame hotel。

One depress'd�察�one elate�察�The Duke and Lord Alfred again�察�thro' the glooms Of the thick linden alley�察�return'd to the Rooms。 His cigar each had lighted�察�a moment before�察�At the inn�察�as they turn'd�察�arm´in´arm�察�from the door。 Ems cigars do not cheer a man's spirits�察�experto ��Me miserum quoties�。� crede Roberto。 In silence�察�awhile�察�they walk'd onward。 At last The Duke's thoughts to language half consciously pass'd。
