brought about； might be fatal to her。 For the first time in her life
this woman suffered in her heart。 She knew not what she should do in
case d'Arthez believed the world which spoke the truth； instead of
believing her who lied； for never had so noble a nature； so complete a
man； a soul so pure； a conscience so ingenuous come beneath her hand。
Though she had told him cruel lies she was driven to do so by the
desire of knowing a true love。 That loveshe felt it dawning in her
heart； yes； she loved d'Arthez； and now she was condemned forever to
deceive him！ She must henceforth remain to him the actress who had
played that comedy to blind his eyes。
When she heard Daniel's step in the dining…room a violent commotion； a
shudder which reached to her very vitals came over her。 That
convulsion； never felt during all the years of her adventurous
existence； told her that she had staked her happiness on this issue。
Her eyes； gazing into space； took in the whole of d'Arthez's person；
their light poured through his flesh； she read his soul； suspicion had
not so much as touched him with its bat's…wing。 The terrible emotion
of that fear then came to its reaction； joy almost stifled her； for
there is no human being who is not more able to endure grief than to
bear extreme felicity。
〃Daniel； they have calumniated me； and you have avenged me！〃 she
cried； rising； and opening her arms to him。
In the profound amazement caused by these words； the roots of which
were utterly unknown to him； Daniel allowed his hand to be taken
between her beautiful hands； as the princess kissed him sacredly on
the forehead。
〃But；〃 he said； 〃how could you know〃
〃Oh！ illustrious ninny！ do you not see that I love you fondly？〃
Since that day nothing has been said of the Princess de Cadignan； nor
of d'Arthez。 The princess has inherited some fortune from her mother
and she spends all her summers in a villa on the lake of Geneva； where
the great writer joins her。 She returns to Paris for a few months in
winter。 D'Arthez is never seen except in the Chamber。 His writings are
becoming exceedingly rare。 Is this a conclusion？ Yes； for people of
sense； no； for persons who want to know everything。
