Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...the shame of perpetual deceit, my own ruin to the loss of my self-respect. In the eyes of many people whose esteem I value, I stand still high; if I should change, I should fall some steps lower. The world is still merciful to women whose constancy cloaks their illicit happiness, but it is pitiless to a vicious habit. "I feel neither scorn nor anger; I am answering you with frank simplicity.

And then I could find it in me to kill the man who should speak to me of love, if a man could still find me where I should be. There you have the whole of my mind. "Perhaps I have to thank you for having written to me.

To rob Camille a second time would be an evidence of weakness to which no woman could twice resign herself. If I loved you madly, if I were blind, if I were forgetful of everything else, I should always see Camille. Her love for you is a barrier too high to be crossed by any force, even with the wings of an angel; only demons would not recoil from such base treachery. "In this, my...
