  Speaker 1: One day, however, Monsieur LaRue met her coming out of
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the Hotel de Boulogne on Lyon's arm, and she was frightened,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: thinking he would gossip. He was not such a fool,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: But three days after he came to her room, shut
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the door and said, I must have some money. She
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: declared she could not give him any lru burst into
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: lamentations and reminded her of all the kindnesses he had
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: shown her. In fact, of the two bills signed by
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Charles Emma, up to the present had paid only one.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: As to the second, the shopkeeper, at her request, had
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: consented to replace it by another, which again had been
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: renewed for a long date. Then he drew from his
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: pocket a list of goods not paid for, to wit
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the curtains, the carpet, the material for the arm chairs,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: several dresses and divers articles of dress, the bills for
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: which amounted to about two thousand francs. She bowed her head.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: He went on, but if you haven't any ready money,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you have an estate, And he reminded her of a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: miserable little hovelt situated at barnevill near our mail, that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: brought in almost nothing. It had formerly been part of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a small farm sold by Monsieur Beovarie Senior. For lru
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: knew everything, even to the number of acres and the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: names of the neighbors. If I were in your place,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: he said, I should clear myself of my debts and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: have money left over. She pointed out the difficulty of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: getting a purchaser. He held out the hope of finding one,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: but she asked him how she should manage to sell it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Haven't you your power of attorney? He replied. The phrase
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: came to her like a breath of fresh air. Leave
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: me the bill, said Emma, Oh, it isn't worth while,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: answered LaRue. He came back the following week and boasted
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of having, after much trouble, at last discovered a certain Langlois,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: who for a long time had had an eye on
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the property, but without mentioning his price. Never mind the price,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: she cried, But they would, on the contrary, have to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: wait to sound the fellow. The thing was worth a journey,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and as she could not undertake it, he offered to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: go to the place to have an interview with laying Lois.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: On his return, he announced that the purchaser proposed four
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: thousand francs Emma was radiant at this news. Frankly, he added,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that's a good price. She drew half the sum at once,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and when she was about to pay her account, the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: shopkeeper said, it really grieves me, on my word, to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: see you depriving yourself all at once of such a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: big sum as that. Then she looked at the bank notes,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and dreaming of the unlimited number of rendezvous represented by
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: those two thousand francs, she stammered, what what Oh? He
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: went on, laughing good naturedly. One puts anything one likes
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: on receipts. Don't you think I know what household affairs are?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And he looked at her fixedly, while in his hand
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: he held two long papers that he slid between his nails.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: At last, opening his pocket book, he spread out on
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the table four bills to order, each for a thousand francs.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Sign these, he said, and keep it all. She cried out, scandalized.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: But if I give you the surplus, replied Monsieur LaRue impudently,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: is that not helping you? And taking a pen he
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: wrote at the bottom of the account received of Madame Bovarie,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: four thousand francs. Now, who can trouble you, since in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: six months you'll draw the arrears for your cottage, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I don't make the last bill due till after you've
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: been paid. Emma grew rather confused in her calculations, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: her ears tingled, as if gold pieces bursting from their
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: bags rang all round her on the floor. At last,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: LaRue explained that he had a very good friend, vin Cart,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a broker at Ruan, who would discount these four bills.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Then he himself would hand over to Madame the remainder
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: after the actual debt was paid. But instead of two
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: thousand francs, he brought only eighteen hundred for the friend Vincart,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: which was only fair, had deducted two hundred francs for
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: commission and discount. Then he carelessly asked for a receipt.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You understand in business sometimes and with the date, if
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you please. With the date, a horizon of realizable whims
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: opened out before Emma. She was prudent enough to lay
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: by a thousand crowns, with which the first three bills
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: were paid when they fell due. But the fourth, by chance,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: came to the house on a Thursday, and Charles, quite upset,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: patiently awaited his wife's return for an explanation. If she
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: had not told him about this bill, it was only
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to spare him such domestic worries. She sat on his knees,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: caressed him, couped to him, gave him a long enumeration
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of all the indispensable things that had been got on credit. Really,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you must confess considering the quantity. It isn't too dear. Charles,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: at his wits end, soon had recourse to the eternal LaRue,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: who swore he would arrange matters if the doctor would
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: sign him two bills, one of which was for seven
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: hundred francs, payable in three months. In order to arrange
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: for this, he wrote his mother a pathetic letter. Instead
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: of sending a reply, she came herself, and when Emma
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: wanted to know whether he had got anything out of her, yes,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he replied, but she wants to see the account. The
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: next morning, at daybreak, Emma ran to LaRue to beg
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: him to make out another account for not more than
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a thousand francs. For to show the one for four thousand,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it would be necessary to say that she had paid
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: two thirds and confess consequently the sale of the estate,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a negotiation admirably carried out by the shopkeeper, and which
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in fact was only actually known later on. Despite the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: low price of each article. Madame Bovary Senior, of course,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: thought the expenditure extravagant. Couldn't you do without a carpet?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Why have recovered the arm chairs? In my time there
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: was a single arm chair in a house for elderly
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: persons at any rate. It was so at my mother's,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: who was a good woman. I can tell you everybody
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: can't be rich. No fortune can hold out against waste.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I should be ashamed to coddle myself as you do.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And yet I am old. I need looking after. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: there there fitting up gowns falals. What silk for lining
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: at two francs? When you can get Jackannette for ten
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: sous or even for eight, that would do well enough. Emma,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: lying on a lounge, replied, as quietly as possible, ah
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Madam enough enough. The other went on lecturing her, predicting
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: they would end in the workhouse. But it was Bovarie's fault.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Luckily he had promised to destroy that power of attorney.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: What ah he swore he would went on the good woman.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Emma opened the window, called Charles, and the poor fellow
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: was obliged to confess the promise torn from him by
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: his mother. Emma disappeared, then came back quickly and majestically
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: handed her a thick piece of paper. Thank you, said
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the old woman, and she threw the power of attorney
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: into the fire. Emma began to laugh, a strident, piercing,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: continuous laugh. She had an attack of hysterics. Oh my god,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: cried Charles. Ah, you really are wrong. You come here
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and make scenes with her. His mother, shrugging her shoulders,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: declared it was all put on. But Charles, rebelling for
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the first time, took his wife's part, so that Madame
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Bovarie Senior said she would leave. She went the very
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: next day, and on the threshold, as he was trying
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to detain her, she replied, no, no, you love her
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: better than me, and you are right. It is natural.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: For the rest so much the worse. You will see
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: good day, for I am not likely to come soon again,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: as you say, to make scenes. Charles nevertheless, was very
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: crestfallen before Emma, who did not hide the resentment she
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: still felt at his want of confidence, and it needed
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: many prayers before she would consent to have another power
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of attorney. He even accompanied her to Monsieur Gilliman to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: have a second one just like the other drawn up.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I understand, said the notary. A man of science can't
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: be worried with the practical details of life. And Charles
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: felt relieved by this comfortable reflection, which gave his weakness
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the flattering appearance of higher preoccupation. And what an outburst
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the next Thursday at the hotel in their room with
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: lyone she laughed, cried, sang, sent for sherbets wanted to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: smoke cigarettes. Seemed to him wild and extravagant, but adorable
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: superb He did not know what recreation of her whole
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: being drove her more and more to plunge into the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: pleasures of life. She was becoming irritable, greedy, voluptuous, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: she walked about the streets with him, carrying her head
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: high without fear, so she said, of compromising herself. At times, however,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Emma shuddered at the sudden thought of meeting Rodolph, for
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: it seemed to her that although they were separated forever,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: she was not completely free from her subjugation to him.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: One night, she did not return to Yonville at all.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Charles lost his head with anxiety, and little Bert would
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: not go to bed without her mamma, and sobbed enough
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to break her heart. Justin had gone out searching the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: road at random. Monsieur Hammes even had left his pharmacy
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: at last, at eleven o'clock. Able to bear it no longer,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Charles harnessed his chaise, jumped in, whipped up his horse,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and reached the Croix Rouge about two o'clock in the morning.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: No one there. He thought that the clerk had perhaps
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: seen her, but where did he live? Happily, Charles remembered
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: his employer's address and rushed off there. Day was breaking
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and he could distinguish the escutcheons over the door and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: knocked some one without opening the door, shouted out the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: required information, adding a few insults to those who disturbed people.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: In the middle of the night. The house inhabited by
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the clerk had neither bell, knocker nor porter. Charles knocked
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: loudly at the shutters with his hands. A policeman happened
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to pass by. Then he was frightened and went away.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I am mad, he said, no doubt. They kept her
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to dinner at Monsieur Lormo's dot, But the Lormos no
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: longer lived at Rouon. She probably stayed to look after
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Madame Dubery. Why Madame du bra Earl has been dead
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: these ten months? Where can she be? An idea occurred
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to him at a cafe. He asked for a directory
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and hurriedly looked for the name of Mademoiselle Emperor, who
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: lived at number seventy four Rue de la ronellde Americaneers.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: As he was turning into the street, Emma herself appeared
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: at the other end of it. He threw himself upon
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: her rather than embraced her, crying, what kept you yesterday?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I was not well? What was it? Where? How? She
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: passed her hand over her forehead and answered, at Mademoiselle
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Emperer's I was sure of it. I was going there.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Oh it isn't worth while, said Emma. She went out
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: just now, but for the future. Don't worry. I do
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: not feel free, you see, if I know that the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: least delay upsets you like this. This was a sort
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of permission that she gave herself so as to get
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: perfect freedom in her escapade, and she profited by it
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: freely fully. When she was seized with the desire to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: see Lyon, she set out upon any pretext, and as
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he was not expecting her on that day, she went
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to fetch him at his office. It was a great
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: delight at first, but soon he no longer concealed the truth,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: which was that his master complained very much about these interruptions. Pshaw,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: come along, she said, and he slipped out. She wanted
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: him to dress all in black and grow a pointed beard,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to look like the portraits of Louis the thirteenth. She
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: wanted to see his lodgings, thought them poor. He blushed
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: at them, but she did not notice this. Then advised
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: him to buy some curtains like hers, and as he
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: objected to the expense, ah aw, you care for your money,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: she said, laughing. Each time Lyon had to tell her
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: everything that he had done since their last meeting. She
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: asked him for some verses, some verses for herself, love
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: poem in honor of her, but he never succeeded in
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: getting a rhyme for the second verse, and at last
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: ended by copying a sonnet in a keepsake. This was
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: less from vanity than from the one desire of pleasing her.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: He did not question her ideas. He accepted all her tastes.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: He was rather becoming her mistress than she his. She
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: had tender words and kisses that thrilled his soul. Where
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: could she have learnt this corruption? Almost incorporeal in the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: strength of its profanity and dissimulation. Chapter six. During the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: journeys he made to see her, Lyone had often dined
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: at the chemist's, and he felt obliged from politeness to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: invite him in turn with pleasure, Monsieur Hames replied, besides,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I must invigorate my mind, for I am getting rusty. Here.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: We'll go to the theater, to the restaurant. We'll make
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a night of it. Oh, my dear tenderly, murmured Madame Han,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: alarmed at the vague perils he was preparing to brave. Well,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: what do you think I am not sufficiently ruining my
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: health living here amid the continual emanations of the pharmacy.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: But there that is the way with women. They are
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: jealous of science, and then are opposed to our taking
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the most legitimate distractions. No matter count upon me. One
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: of these days I shall turn up at Ruan and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: will go the pace together. The druggist would formerly have
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: taken good care not to use such an expression, but
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: he was cultivating a gay Parisian style, which he thought
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: in the best taste, and like his neighbor Madame Bovary,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: he questioned the clerk curiously about the customs of the capital.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: He even talked slang to dazzle the bourgeois, saying bender
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: crummy dandy macaroni. The cheese, cut my stick and I'll
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: hook it for I am going so. One Thursday, Emma
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: was surprised to meet Monsieur Hammes in the ki of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the Lion Door, wearing a traveler's costume, that is to say,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: wrapped in an old cloak which no one knew he had,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: while he carried a valise in one hand and the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: footwarmer of his establishment in the other. He had confided
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: his intentions to no one, for fear of causing the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: public anxiety by his absence. The idea of seeing again
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the place where his youth had been spent, no doubt
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: excited him, for during the whole journey he never ceased talking,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and as soon as he had arrived he jumped quickly
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: out of the diligence to go in search of Lyon
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: in vain. The clerk tried to get rid of him.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Monsieur Arms dragged him off to the large Cafe de
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: la Normandy, which he entered majestically, not raising his hat,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: thinking it very provincial to uncover in any public place.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Emma waited for Lyon three quarters of an hour. At
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: last she ran to his office and lost in all
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: sorts of conjectures, accusing him of indifference and reproaching herself
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: for her weakness. She spent the afternoon her face pressed
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: against the window panes. At two o'clock they were still
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: at a table opposite each other. The large room was emptying.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: The stovepipe, in the shape of a palm tree, spread
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: its gilt leaves over the white ceiling, and near them
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: outside the window, in the bright sunshine, a little fountain
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: gurgled in a white basin, where in the midst of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: watercress and asparagus, three torpid lobsters stretched across to some
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: quails that lay heaped up in a pile on their sides.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: How Mace was enjoying himself, although he was even more
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: intoxicated with the luxury than the rich fare the palmd wine.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: All the same rather excited his faculties, and when the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: omelet O Room twenty appeared, he began propounding immoral theories
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: about women. What seduced him above all else was shekh
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: He admired an elegant toilette in a well furnished apartment,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and as to bodily qualities, he didn't dislike a young
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: girl twenty In rum Lyone watched the clock in despair.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: The druggist went on drinking, eating and talking. You must
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: be very lonely, he said, suddenly here at Ruan to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: be sure your lady love doesn't live far away, and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the other blushed. Come now, be frank, can you deny that?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: At Yonville, the young man stammered something at Madame Bovarie's
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you're not making love to to whom the servant he
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: was not joking, but vanity getting the better of all prudence. Lyone,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: in spite of himself, protested. Besides, he only liked dark women.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I approve of that, said the chemist, they have more passion,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and whispering into his friend's ear, he pointed out the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: symptoms by which one could find out if a woman
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: had passion. He even launched into an ethnographic digression. The
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: German was vaporish, the frenchwoman licentious, the Italian passionate, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: negresses asked the clerk. They are an artistic taste, said
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: hamaece waiter. Two cups of coffee? Are we going? At last,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: asked Lyon impatiently Jah. But before leaving he wanted to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: see the proprietor of the establishment, and made him a
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: few compliments. Then the young man to be alone, alleged
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: he had some business engagement. Ah, I will escort you,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: said Hamace, And all the while he was walking through
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the streets with him, he talked of his wife, his children,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of their future, and of his business. Told him in
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: what a decayed condition it had formerly been, and to
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: what a degree of perfection he had raised it. Arrived
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: in front of the Hotel de Boulogne, Lyon left him abruptly,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: ran up the stairs and found his mistress in great
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: excitement at mention of the chemist. She flew into a passion. He, however,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: piled up good reasons. It wasn't his fault. Didn't she
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: know Hamace? Did she believe that he would prefer his company?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: But she turned away He drew her back, and sinking
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: on his knees, clasped her waist with his arms in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a languorous pose full of concupiscence. In supplication. She was
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: standing up. Her large flashing eyes looked at him seriously,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: almost terribly. Then tears obscured them. Her red eyelids were lowered.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: She gave him her hands, and Lyon was pressing them
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to his lips. When a servant appeared to tell the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: gentleman that he was wanted. You will come back? She
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: said yes, but when immediately It's a trick, said the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: chemist when he saw Lyon, I wanted to interrupt this
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: visit that seemed to me to annoy you. Let's go
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and have a glass of garris at brideoot Dot. Lyon
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: vowed that he must get back to his office. Then
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the druggist joked him about quill drivers and the law.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Leave Kujas and bart whole alone a bit. Who the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: devil prevents? You be a man. Let's go to Brideo.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: You'll see his dog. It's very interesting. And as the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: clerk still insisted, I'll go with you. I'll read a
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: paper while I wait for you, or turn over the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: leaves of a code. Lyon bewildered by Emma's anger, Monsieur
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Homai's chatter, and perhaps by the heaviness of the luncheon
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: was undecided, and as it were, fascinated by the chemist
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: who kept repeating, let's go to Brideo, it's just by
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: here in the Rue Malploo. Then, through cowardice, through stupidity,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: through that indefinable feeling that drags us into the most
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: distasteful acts, he allowed himself to be led off to Brideo,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: whom they found in his small yard, superintending three workmen
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: who panted as they turned the large wheel of a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: machine for making seltzer water. Hames gave them some good advice.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: He embraced Brideo. They took some gerris twenty times Lyone
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: tried to escape, but the other seized him by the arms, saying,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: presently uncoming, We'll go to the Faintal de Ruan to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: see the fellows. There. I'll introduce you to Thornacin. At
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: last he managed to get rid of him and rushed
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: straight to the hotel. Emma was no longer there. She
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: had just gone in a fit of anger. She detested him. Now,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: this failing to keep their rendezvous seemed to her an insult,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: and she tried to rake up other reasons to separate
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: herself from him. He was incapable of heroism, weak, banal,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: more spiritless than a woman, avaricious too, and cowardly. Then
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: growing calmer, she at length discovered that she had no
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: doubt calumniated him. But the disparaging of those we love
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: always alienates us from them to some extent. We must
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: not touch our idols. The gilt sticks to our fingers.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: They gradually came to talking more frequently of matters outside
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: their love, and in the letters that Emma wrote him,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: she spoke of flowers, verses, the moon, and the stars,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: naive resources of a waning passion, striving to keep itself
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: alive by all external aids. She was constantly promising herself
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: a profound felicity on her next journey. Then she confessed
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to herself that she felt nothing extraordinary. This disappointment quickly
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: gave way to a new hope, and Emma returned to
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: him more inflamed, more eager than ever. She undressed brutally,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: tearing off the thin laces of her corset that nestled
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: around her hips like a gliding snake. She went on tiptoe, barefooted,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to see once more that the door was closed. Then, pale, serious,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and without speaking, with one movement, she threw herself upon
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: his breast with a long shudder. Yet there was upon
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that brow covered with cold drops, on those quivering lips,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: in those wild eyes, in the strain of those arms,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: something vague and dreary, that seemed to lyone to glide
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: between them subtly, as if to separate them. He did
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: not dare to question her, But seeing her so skilled,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: she must have passed, he thought, through every experience of
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: suffering and of pleasure. What had once charmed now frightened
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: him a little. Besides, he rebelled against his absorption daily,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: more marked by her personality, he begrudged Emma this constant victory.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: He even strove not to love her. Then, when he
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: heard the creaking of her boots, he turned coward like
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: drunkards at the sight of strong drinks. She did not fail,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: in truth to lavish all sorts of attentions upon him,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: from the delicacies of food, to the coquetries of dress
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: and languishing looks. She brought roses to her breast from Yonville,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: which she threw into his face, was anxious about his health,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: gave him advice as to his conduct, and in order
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the more surely to keep her hold on him, hoping
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: perhaps that Heaven would take her part, she told a
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: metal of the virgin round his neck. She inquired like
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: a virtuous mother about his companions. She said to him,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: don't see them, don't go out, think only of ourselves.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Love me. She would have liked to be able to
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: watch over his life, and the idea occurred to her
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: of having him followed in the streets near the hotel.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: There was always a kind of loafer who accosted travelers
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and who would not refuse. But her pride revolted at
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: this bah so much the worse, let him deceive me.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: What does it matter to me as if I cared
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: for him? One day, when they had parted early, and
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: she was returning alone along the boulevard, she saw the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: walls of her convent. Then she sat down on a
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: form in the shade of the elm trees. How calm
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: that time had been. How she longed for the ineffable
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: sentiments of love that she had tried to figure to
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: herself out of books. The first month of her marriage
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: her rides in the wood, the viscount that waltzed, and
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: leguardy singing, all repassed before her eyes, and lyone suddenly
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: appeared to her, as far off as the others. Yet
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I love him, she said to herself. No matter. She
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: was not happy. She never had been. Whence came this
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: insufficiency in life, this instantaneous turning to decay of everything
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: on which she lent. But if there were somewhere of
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: being strong and beautiful, a valiant nature full at once
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: of exaltation and refinement, a poet's heart in an angel's form,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a liar with sounding chords ringing out elegiac epithalamia to heaven,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: why perchance should she not find him? Ah, how impossible. Besides,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: nothing was worth the trouble of seeking it. Everything was
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: a lie. Every smile hid a yawn of boredom, every
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: joy a curse. All pleasure satiety, and the sweetest kisses
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: left upon your lips only the unattainable desire for a
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: greater delight. A metallic clang drone through the air, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: four strokes were heard from the convent clock four o'clock,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and it seemed to her that she had been thereon
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that form an eternity, but an infinity of passions may
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: be contained in a minute, like a crowd in a
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: small space. Emma lived all absorbed in hers and troubled
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: no more about money matters than an archduchess. Once, however,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a wretched looking man, rubicn and bald, came to her house,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: saying he had been sent by Monsieur Vincard of Ruan.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: He took out the pins that held together the side
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: pockets of his long green overcoat, stuck them into his sleeve,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and politely handed her a paper. It was a bill
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: for seven hundred francs, signed by her, and which LaRue,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: in spite of all his professions, had paid a way
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to Vincart. She sent her servant for him. He could
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: not come. Then, the stranger, who had remained standing, casting
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: right and left curious glances that his thick fair eyebrows hid, asked,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: with a naive air, what answer am I to take
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Monsieur Vincart, Oh, said Emma, tell him that I haven't it.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I will send next week. He must wait, yes, till
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: next week, And the fellow went without another word. But
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the next day, at twelve o'clock she received a summons,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and the sight of the stamped paper, on which appeared
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: several times in large letters Matre Harring Bailiff at Butchy,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: so frightened her that she rushed in hot haste to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the linen drapers. She found him in his shop doing
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: up a parcel. You're obedient, he said, I am at
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: your service, but Lorue all the same went on with
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: his work, helped by a young girl of about thirteen,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: somewhat hunchbacked, who was at once his clerk and his servant.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Then his clogs clattering on the shop boards. He went
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: up in front of Madame Bovary to the first door,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and introduced her into an arrow closet, where in a
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: large bureau in sape on wood lay some ledgers, protected
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: by a horizontal padlocked iron bar against the wall, under
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: some remnants of calico. One glimpsed a safe, but of
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: such dimensions that it must contain something besides bills and money.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Monsieur Leroue in fact went in for pawnbroking, and it
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: was there that he had put Madame Bovarie's gold chain,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: together with the ear rings of poor old Tellier, who,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: at last forced to sell out, had bought a meager
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: store of grocery at Quincampoix, where he was dying of catarrh.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Amongst his candles that were less yellow than his face.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Lru sat down in a large cane arm chair, saying,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: what mewse see? And she showed him the paper? Well,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: how can I help it? Then she grew angry, reminding
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: him of the promise he had given not to pay
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: away her bills. He acknowledged it, but I was pressed myself.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: The knife was at my own throat. And what will
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: happen now? She went on, Oh, it's very simple. A
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: judgment and then a distraint. That's about it. Emma kept
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: down a desire to strike him, and asked gently if
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: there was no way of quieting Monsieur Vincart, I dare say,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: quiet Vincarte. You don't know him. He's more ferocious than
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: an Arab. Still, Monsieur LaRue must interfere. Well, listen, it
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: seems to me so far I've been very good to you.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: And opening one of his ledgers, see, he said, then
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: running up the page with his finger. Let's see, let's
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: see August three D two hundred francs June seventeenth a
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty March twenty three, d forty six. In April,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: he stopped, as if afraid of making some mistake, not
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: to speak of the bills signed by Monsieur Bouverie, one
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: for seven hundred francs and another for three hundred. As
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to your little installments with the interest, why there's no
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: end to m. One gets quite muddled over m. I'll
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: have nothing more to do with it, She wept. She
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: even called him her good Monsieur LaRue, but he always
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: fell back upon that rascal vincart. Besides, he hadn't a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: brass farthing. No one was paying him. Nowadays they were
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: eating his coat off his back. A poor shopkeeper like
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: him couldn't advance money. Emma was silent, and Monsieur LaRue,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: who was biting the feathers of a quill, no doubt,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: became uneasy at her silence, for he went on, unless
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: one of these days I have something coming in, I might, besides,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: said she, as soon as the balance of barnevel what,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: And on hearing that Laygloys had not yet paid, he
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: seemed much surprised. Then, in a honeyed voice, and we agree,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: you say, oh to anything you like on this, he
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: closed his eyes to reflect, wrote down a few figures,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: and declaring it would be very difficult for him, that
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the affair was shady and that he was being bled,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: he wrote out four bills for two hundred and fifty
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: francs each, to fall due month by month, provided that
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Vincart will listen to me. However, it's settled. I don't
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: play the fool. I'm straight enough. Next, he carelessly showed
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: her several new goods, not one of which, however, was
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: in his opinion, worthy of madam. When I think that
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: there's a dress at Thrippen's Hapenny a yard and warranted
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: fast colors, and yet they actually swallow it, of course
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: you understand, one doesn't tell them what it really is.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: He hoped, by this confession of dishonesty to others to
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: quite convince her of his probity to her. Then he
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: called her back to show her three yards of goody
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: pure that he had lately picked up at a sail.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Isn't it lovely? Said LaRue. It is very much used
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: now for the backs of arm chairs. It's quite the rage,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: and more ready than a juggler. He wrapped up the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: gooey pure in some blue paper and put it in
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Emma's hands. But at least let me know yes another time,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: he replied, turning on his heel. That same evening, she
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: urged Bovary to write to his mother to ask her
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to send as quickly as possible, the whole of the
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: balance due from the father's estate. The mother in law
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: replied that she had nothing more. The winding up was over,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: and there was due to them besides barnevel an income
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: of six hundred francs. That she would pay them punctually.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Then Madame Bovarie sent in accounts to two or three patients,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and she made large use of this method, which was
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: very successful. She was always careful to add a PostScript,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: do not mention this to my husband, you know how
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: proud he is. Excuse me yours obediently. There were some complaints.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: She intercepted them. To get money. She began selling her
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: old gloves, her old hats, the old odds and ends,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and she bargained rapaciously, her peasant blood standing her in
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: good stead. Then, on her journey to town, she picked
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: up nick Knack's second hand that in default of any
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: one else, Monsieur LaRue would certainly take off her hands.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: She bought ostrich feathers, Chinese porcelain, and trunks. She borrowed
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: from Felisite, from Madame la Francois, from the landlady at
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the Croix Rouge, from everybody no matter where. With the
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: money she at last received from Barnevel, she paid two bills.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: The other fifteen hundred francs fell due. She renewed the bills,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: and thus it was continually. Sometimes, it is true she
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: tried to make a calculation, but she discovered things so
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: exorbitant that she could not believe them possible. Then she recommenced,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: soon got confused, gave it all up, and thought no
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: more about it. The house was very dreary now, tradesmen
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: were seen leaving it with angry faces. Handkerchiefs were lying
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: about on the stoves, and little Bert, to the great
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: scandal of Madame Hammece, wore stockings with holes in them.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: If Charles timidly ventured a remark, she answered roughly that
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: it wasn't her fault. What was the meaning of all
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: these fits of temper? He explained everything through her old
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: nervous illness, and reproaching himself with having taken her infirmities
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: for faults, accused himself of egotism and longed to go
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: and take her in his arms. Ah No, he said
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: to himself, I should worry her, and he did not stir.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: After dinner, he walked about alone in the garden. He
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: took little Beard on his knees, and, unfolding his medical journal,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: tried to teach her to read. But the child, who
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: never had any lessons, soon looked up with large sad
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: eyes and began to cry. Then he comforted her, went
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: to fetch water in her can, to make rivers on
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the sand path, or broke off branches from the privet
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: hedges to plant trees in the beds. This did not
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: spoil bill the garden much, all choked now with long weeds.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: They owed les to budhoys for so many days. Then
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the child grew cold and asked for her mother. Call.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: The servant said, Charles, you know, dearie, that Mamma does
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: not like to be disturbed. Autumn was setting in and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: the leaves were already falling, as they did two years
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: ago when she was ill. Where would it all end?
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: And he walked up and down, his hands behind his back.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Madam was in her room, which no one entered. She
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: stayed there all day long, torpid, half dressed, and from
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: time to time burning Turkish pastilles, which she had bought
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: at Ruan in an Algerian's shop, in order not to
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: have at night this sleeping man stretched at her side.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: By dint of maneuvering, she at last succeeded in banishing
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: him to the second floor while she read till morning,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: extravagant books full of pictures of orgies and thrilling situations.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Often seized with fear. She cried out, and Charles hurried
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: to her. Oh go away, she would say, Or at
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: other times consumed more ardently than ever by that inner
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: flame to which adultery added fuel. Panting tremulous all desire,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: she threw open her window, breathed in the cold air,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: shook loose in the winter, her masses of hair too heavy,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and gazing upon the stars, longed for some princely love.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: She thought of him, of lyon. She would then have
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: given anything for a single one of those meetings that
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: surfeited her. These were her gala days. She wanted them
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: to be sumptuous, And when he alone could not pay
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: the expenses, she made up the deficit liberally, which happened
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: pretty well every time. He tried to make her understand
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: that they would be quite as comfortable somewhere else, in
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: a smaller hotel, but she always found some objection. One
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: day she drew sick, small silver gilt spoons from her bag.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: They were Old Roubalt's wedding present, begging him to pawn
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: them at once for her, and Lyone obeyed, though the
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: preceding annoyed him, he was afraid of compromising himself. Then,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: on reflection, he began to think his mistress's ways were
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: growing odd, and that they were perhaps not wrong in
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: wishing to separate him from her. In fact, some one
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: had sent his mother a long anonymous letter to warn
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: her that he was ruining himself with a married woman,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: and the good lady at once conjuring up the eternal
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: bugbear of families, the vague, pernicious creature, the siren, the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: monster who dwells fantastically in depths of love, wrote to
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Lawyer du Bosiage, his employer, who behaved perfectly in the affair.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: He kept him for three quarters of an hour, trying
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: to open his eyes to warn him of the abyss
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: into which he was falling. Such an intrigue would damage
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: him later on, when he set up for himself. He
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: implored him to break with her, and if he would
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: not make this sacrifice in his own interest, to do
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: it at least for his dubocage sake. At last lyone
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: swore he would not see Emma again, and he reproached
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: himself with not having kept his word. Considering all the
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: worry in lectures, this woman might still draw down upon
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: him without reckoning the jokes made by his companions as
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: they sat round the stove in the morning. Besides, he
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: was soon to be head clerk. It was time to
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: settle down. So he gave up his flute. Exalted sentiments
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and poetry for every bourgeois, and the flush of his
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: youth were it but for a day a moment. Has
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: believed himself capable of immense passions, of lofty enterprises. The
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: most mediocre libertine has dreamed of Sultana's Every notary bears
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: within him the debris of a poet. He was bored
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: now when Emma suddenly began to sob on his breast
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: and his heart. Like the people who can only stand
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: a certain amount of music, dozed to the sound of
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: a love whose delicacies he no longer noted. They knew
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: one another too well for any of those surprises of
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: possession that increase its joys. A hundred five. She was
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: as sick of him as he was weary of her.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Emma found again in adultery all the platitudes of marriage.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: But how to get rid of him? Then? Though she
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: might feel humiliated at the baseness of such enjoyment, she
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: clung to it from habit or from corruption, and each
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: day she hungered after them, the more, exhausting all felicity.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: In wishing for too much of it, She accused lyone
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: of her baffled hopes, as if he had betrayed her,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: and she even longed for some catastrophe that would bring
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: about their separation. Since she had not the courage to
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: make up her mind to it herself, she none the
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: less went on writing him love letters in virtue of
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the notion that a woman must write to her lover.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: But whilst she wrote it was another man. She saw
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: a phantom fashioned out of her most ardent memories, of
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: her finest reading, her strongest lusts, And at last he
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: became so real, so tangible that she palpitated, wondering, without, however,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: the power to imagine him clearly, so lost with he
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: like a god beneath the abundance of his attributes. He
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: dwelt in that azure land where silk ladders hang from balconies,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: under the breath of flowers, in the light of the moon.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: She felt him near her. He was coming and would
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: carry her right away in a kiss. Then she fell back, exhausted,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: for these transports of vague love wearied her more than
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: great debauchery. She now felt constant ache all over her.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Often she even received summonses stamped paper that she barely
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: looked at. She would have liked not to be alive,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: or to be always asleep. On mid lengs, she did
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: not return to Yonville, but in the evening went to
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: a masked ball. She wore velvet breeches, red stockings, a
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: club wig, and three cornered hat cocked on one side.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: She danced all night to the wild tones of the trombones.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: People gathered round her, and in the morning she found
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: herself on the steps of the theater, together with five
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: or six masks. To Bardoza's asses stress twenty one plus
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: and sailors Lyon's comrades, who were talking about having supper
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: twenty one people dressed as longshoremen. The neighboring cafes were full.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: They caught sight of one on the harbor, a very
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: indifferent restaurant, whose proprietor showed them to a little room
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: on the fourth floor. The men were whispering in a corner,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: no doubt, consorting about expenses. There were a clerk, two
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: medical students, and a shopman. What company for her. As
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: to the women, Emma soon perceived from the tone of
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: their voices that they must almost belong to the lowest class.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Then she was frightened, pushed back her chair and cast
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: down her eyes. The others began to eat. She ate nothing.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Her head was on fire, her eyes smarted, and her
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: skin was ice cold. In her head, she seemed to
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: feel the floor of the ball room rebounding again beneath
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: the rhythmical pulsation of the thousands of dancing feet. And
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: now the smell of the punch. The smoke of the
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: cigars made her giddy. She fainted, and they carried her
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: to the window. Day was breaking, and a great stain
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: of purple color broadened out in the pale horizon over
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: the Saint Catharine Hills. The livid river was shivering in
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the wind. There was no one on the bridges. The
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: street lamps were going out. She revived and began thinking
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: of Bert, asleep yonder in the servants room. Then a
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: cart filled with long strips of iron passed by and
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: made a deafening metallic vibration against the walls of the houses.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: She slipped away, suddenly, threw off her costume, told lyone
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: she must get back, and at last was alone at
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: the Hotel de Boulogne. Everything, even herself, was now unbearable
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: to her. She wished that, taking wing like a bird,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: she could fly somewhere far away, to regions of purity,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: and there grow young again. She went out, crossed the boulevard,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: the Place Cauchoys, and the Foeboo, as far as an
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: open street that overlooked some gardens. She walked rapidly, the
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: fresh air calming her, and little by little the faces
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of the crowd, the masks, the quadrilles, the lights, the supper,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: those women all disappeared like mists, fading away. Then, reaching
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the Croirouge, she threw herself on the bed in her
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: little room on the second floor, where there were pictures
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: of the Tour de Nessel. At four o'clock hithert awoke her.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: When she got home, Felisite showed her behind the clock
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: a gray paper. She read in virtue of the seizure
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: in execution of a judgment? What judgment? As a matter
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: of fact, the evening before, another paper had been brought
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: that she had not yet seen, and she was stunned
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: by these words, by order of the King, law and
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Justice to Madame Bovary. Then, skipping several lines, she read
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: within twenty four hours without fail but what to pay
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: this some of eight thousand francs, And there was even
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: at the bottom. She will be constrained there too by
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: every form of law, and notably by a writ of
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: distraint on her furniture and effects. What was to be
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: done in twenty four hours tomorrow? Lru, she thought, wanted
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: to frighten her again, for she saw through all his
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: devices the object of his kindnesses. What reassured her was
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: the very magnitude of the sum. However, by dint of
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: buying and not paying, of borrowing, signing bills and renewing
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: these bills, that grew at each new falling in. She
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: had ended by preparing a capital for Monsieur LaRue, which
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: he was impatiently awaiting for his speculations. She presented herself
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: at his place with an off hand air. You know
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: what has happened to me? No doubt it's a joke.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: How So, he turned away slowly and folding his arms,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: said to her, My good lady, did you think I
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: should go on to all at timeternity being your purveyor
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: and banker? For the love of God, Now be just.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I must get back what I've laid out. Now be just,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: she cried out, against the debt, Ah, so much the worse.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: The court has admitted it. There's a judgment, it's been
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: notified to you. Besides, it isn't my fault, it's Binkart's.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Could you not, oh nothing whatever? But still now talk
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: it over? And she began beating about the bush. She
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: had known nothing about it. It was a surprise. Whose
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: fault is that, said LaRue, bowing ironically, while I'm slaving
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: like a nigger, you go gallivanting about ah, no lecturing.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: It never does any harm, he replied. She turned coward.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: She implored him. She even pressed her pretty white and
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: slender hand against the shop shopkeeper's knee. There that'll do
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: anyone think you wanted to seduce me. You are a wretch,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: she cried. Oh, oh, go it, go it. I will
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: show you up. I shall tell my husband, all right,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I too, I'll show your husband something. And LaRue drew
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: from his strong box the receipt for eighteen hundred francs
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: that she had given him when vin Cart had discounted
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: the bills. Do you think he added that he'll not
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: understand your little theft. The poor dear man. She collapsed,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: more overcome than if felled by the blow of a polax.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: He was walking up and down from the window to
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: the bureau, repeating all the while, Ah, I'll show him,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I'll show him. Then he approached her and in a
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: soft voice said, it isn't pleasant, I know, but after all,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: no bones are broken, and since that is the only
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: way that is left for you paying back my money.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: But where am I to get any said Emma, wringing
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: her hands. Bah, when one has friends like you, And
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: he looked at her in so keen, so terrible a
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: fashion that she shuddered to her very heart. I promise you,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: she said to sign I've enough of your signatures. I
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: will sell something. Get along, he said, shrugging his shoulders.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: You've not got anything, and he called through the peep
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: hole that looked down into the shop, Annette, don't forget
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: the three coupons of No. Fourteen. The servant appeared. Emma
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: understood and asked how much money would be wanted to
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: put a stop to the proceedings. It is too late,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: But if I brought you several thousand francs a quarter
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: of the sum, a third perhaps the hole. No, it's
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: no use, and he pushed her gently towards the staircase.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I am flore you, monsieur LaRue, just a few days more.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: She was sobbing. There tears. Now you are driving me
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: to despair. What do I care? Said, he shutting the door.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Chapter seven. She was stoical the next day when maitre Haarn,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: the bailiff, with two assistants, presented himself at her house
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: to draw up the inventory for the distraint. They began
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: with Bovarie's consulting room and did not write down the
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: phrenological head, which was considered an instrument of his profession,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: but in the kitchen, they counted the plates, the sauce bands,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the chairs, the candlesticks, and in the bedroom all the
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: knick knacks on the wa nott. They examined her dresses,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: the linen, the dressing room, and her whole existence to
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: its most intimate details. Was like a corpse on whom
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: a post mortem is made outspread before the eyes of
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: these three men. Maitre Haring, buttoned up in his thin
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: black coat, wearing a white choker and very tight footstraps,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: repeated from time to time. Allow me, madam, you allow
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: me often he uttered exclamations charming, very pretty. Then he
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: began writing again, dipping his pen into the horning stand
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: in his left hand. When they had done with the rooms,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: they went up to the attic. She kept a desk
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: there in which Rodolph's letters were locked. It had to
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: be opened, ah a correspondence, said maitre Harn, with a
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: discreet smile. But allow me, for I must make sure
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: the box contains nothing else. And he tipped up the
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: papers lightly, as if to shake out napoleons. Then she
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: grew angry to see this coarse hand with fingers read
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: and pulpy like slugs, touching these pages against which her
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: heart had beaten. They went at last, Felisite came back.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Emma had sent her out to watch for Bovary in
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: order to keep him off, and they hurriedly instilled the
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: man in possession under the roof, where he swore he
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: would remain During the evening. Charles seemed to her care one.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Emma watched him with a look of anguish, fancying she
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: saw an accusation in every line of his face. Then,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: when her eyes wandered over the chimney piece ornamented with
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Chinese screens, over the large curtains, the arm chairs, all
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: those things in a word that had softened the bitterness
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: of her life, remorse seized her, or rather an immense
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: regret that, far from crushing, irritated her passion. Charles placidly
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: poked the fire, both his feet on the fire dogs.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Once the man, no doubt bored in his hiding place,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: made a slight noise. Is any one walking up stairs?
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Said Charles? No, she replied, it is a window that
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: has been left open and is rattling in the wind.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: The next day, Sunday, she went to Ruan to call
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: on all the brokers whose names she knew they were
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: at their entry places or on journeys. She was not discouraged,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: and those whom she did manage to see she asked
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: for money, declaring she must have some and that she
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: would pay it back. Some laughed in her face, all refused.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: At two o'clock, she hurried to Lion and knocked at
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: the door. No one answered. At length he appeared, What
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: brings you here? Do I disturb you? No? But and
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: he admitted that his landlord didn't like his having women there.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: I must speak to you, she went on. Then he
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: took down the quay, but she stopped him. No, no,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: down there in our home. And they went to their
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: room at the Hotel de Boulogne. On arriving, she drank
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: off a large glass of water. She was very pale.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: She said to him, Lion, you will do me a service,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: and shaking him by both hands that she grasped tightly,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: she added, listen, I want eight thousand francs, but you
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: are mad. Not yet, And thereupon telling him the story
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: of the distraint. She explained her distress to him, for
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Charles knew nothing of it. Her mother in law detested her.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Old Rouau could do nothing but he Lyon he would
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: set about finding this indispensable sum. How on earth can
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: I What a coward you are, she cried. Then he said, stupidly,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: you are exaggerating the difficulty. Perhaps with a thousand crowns
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: or so, the fellow could be stopped, all the greater
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: reason to try and do something. It was impossible that
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: they could not find three thousand francs. Besides, Lyon could
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: be security instead of her. Go try, try, I will
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: love you. So he went out and came back at
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: the end of an hour, saying with solemn face, I
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: have been to three people with no success. Then they
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: remained sitting face to face at the two chimney corners,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: motionless in silence. Emma shrugged her shoulders as she stamped
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: her feet. He heard her murmuring, if I were in
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: your place, I should soon get some But where at
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: your office? And she looked at him. An infernal boldness
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: looked out from her burning eyes, and their lids drew
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: close together with a lascivious and encouraging look, so that
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: the young man felt himself growing weak beneath the mute
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: will of this woman who was urging him to a crime.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Then he was afraid, and to avoid any explanation, he
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: smote his forehead, crying, Morrel is to come back tonight.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: He will not refuse me. I hope this was one
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: of his friends, the son of a very rich merchant,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: and I will bring it you to morrow, he added.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Emma did not seem to welcome this hope with all
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: the joy he had expected. Did she suspect the lie?
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: He went on blushing. However, if you don't see me
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: by three o'clock, do not wait for me, my darling.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: I must be off now. Forgive me good bye. He
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: pressed her hand, but it felt quite lifeless. Emma had
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: no strength left for any sentiment. Four a clock struck
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: and she rose to return to Yonville, mechanically, obeying the
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: force of old habits. The weather was fine. It was
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: one of those March days, clear and sharp, when the
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: sun shines in a perfectly white sky. The Ruan folk
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: in sunday clothes were walking about with happy looks. She
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: reached the place to Parvis. People were coming out after Vesper's.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: The crowd flowed out through the three doors like a
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: stream through the three arches of a bridge, and in
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: the middle one more motionless than a rock stood the beadle.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Then she remembered the day when, all anxious and full
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: of hope, she had entered beneath this large knave that
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: had opened out before her, less profound than her love.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: And she walked on, weeping beneath her veil, giddy, staggering,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: almost fainting. Take care, cried a voice, issuing from the
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: gate of a courtyard that was thrown open. She stopped
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: to let pass a black horse pawing the ground between
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: the shafts of a tilbury, driven by a gentleman in
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: sable furs. Who was it? She knew him. The carriage
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: darted by and disappeared. Why it was he? The viscount?
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: She turned away. The street was empty. She was so overwhelmed,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: so sad, that she had to lean against a wall
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: to keep herself from falling. Then she thought she had
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: been mistaken. Anyhow, she did not know all within her
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: and around her was abandoning her. She felt lost, sinking
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: at random into indefinable abysses. And it was almost with
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: joy that, on reaching the Croix Rouge, she saw the
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: good Hamase, who was watching a large box full of
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: pharmaceutical stores being hoisted up on to the hirondel. In
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: his hand he held tide in a silk handkerchief, six
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: chemenats for his wife. Madame Hamese was very fond of
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: these small, heavy, turban shaped loaves that are eaten and
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: lent with salt butter, a last vestige of Gothic food
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: that goes back, perhaps to the time of the Crusades,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: and with which the robust Normans gorged themselves of your fancying.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: They saw on the table in the light of the
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: yellow torches, between tankards of hippocrass and huge boar's heads,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: the heads of saracens to be devoured. The druggist's wife
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: crunched them up as they had done, heroically despite her
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: wretched teeth, And so whenever hames journeyed to town he
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: never failed to bring her home some that he bought
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: at the Great Baker's in the Rue Massacre. Charmed to
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: see you, he said, offering Emma a hand to help
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: her into the hirondel. Then he hung up his chemenats
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: to the cords of the netting, and remained bareheaded, in
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: an attitude pensive and napoleonic. But when the blind man
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: appeared as usual at the foot of the hill. He exclaimed,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: I can't understand why the authorities tolerate such culpable industries.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Such unfortunates should be locked up and forced to work. Progress.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: My word creeps at a snail's pace. We are floundering
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: about in mere barbarism. The blind man held out his
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: hat that flapped about at the door, as if it
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: were a bag in the lining that had come unnailed.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: This said, the chemist is a scrofulous affection. And though
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: he knew the poor devil, he pretended to see him
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: for the first time, murmured something about cornea opaque cornea
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: sclerotic facies, then asked him in a paternal tone, my friend,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: have you long had this terrible infirmity? Instead of getting
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: drunk at the public, you do better to dye yourself.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: He advised him to take good wine, good beer, and
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: good joints. The blind man went on with his song.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: He seemed moreover ommost idiotic. At last, Monsieur Hamas opened
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: his purse. Now there's a soul. Give me back two lairds,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: and don't forget my advice. You'll be the better for it.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: Hibbert openly cast some doubt on the efficacy of it.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: But the druggist said that he would cure himself with
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: an antiphlogistic poemde of his own composition, and he gave
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: his address. Monsieur Hamas near the market pretty well known. Now,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: said Hibert, for all this trouble, you'll give us your performance.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: The blind man sank down on his haunches with his
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: head thrown back, whilst he rolled his greenish eyes, lolled
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: out his tongue, and rubbed his stomach with both hands
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: as he uttered a kind of hollow yell like a
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: famished dog. Emma, filled with disgust, threw him over her
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: shoulder a five franc piece. It was all her fortune.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: It seemed to her very fine, thus to throw it away.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: The coach had gone on again when suddenly Monsieur Hames
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: leant out through the window, crying, no fair enoughnaceous or
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: milk food were will next the skin and expose the
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: diseased parts to the smoke of juniper berries. The sight
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: of the well known objects that defiled before her eyes
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: gradually diverted Emma from her present trouble. An intolerable fatigue
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed her, and she reached her home, stupefied, discouraged almost
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: to sleep. Come what may come, she said to herself.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: And then, who knows why at any moment could not
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: some extraordinary event occur? LaRue even might die. At nine
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, she was awakened by the sound
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: of voices in the place. There was a crowd round
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: the market reading a large bill fixed to one of
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: the posts, and she saw Justin, who was climbing on
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: to a stone and tearing down the bill. But at
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: this moment the rural guard seized him by the collar.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Monsieur Armas came out of his shop and Mere la Francois,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: in the midst of the crowd, seemed to be piroating.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Matti Madam cried, felisite running in it's abominable, and the
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: poor girl deeply moved handed her a yellow paper that
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: she had just torn off the door. Emma read with
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: a glance that all her furniture was for sale. Then
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: they looked at one another silently. The servant and mistress
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: had no secret one from the other. At last, felisite side.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: If I were you, Madam, I should go to Monsieur Gilliman.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Do you think and this question meant to say, you
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: who know the house through the servant, has the master
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: spoken sometimes of me? Yes, you do well to go there.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: She dressed, put on her black gown and her hood
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: with jet beads, and that she might not be seen.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: There was still a crowd on the place. She took
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: the path by the river outside the village. She reached
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: the notary's gate quite breathless. The sky was somber, and
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: a little snow was falling. At the sound of the bell, Theodore,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: in a red waistcoat, appeared on the steps. He came
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: to open the door, almost familiarly as to an acquaintance,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: and showed her into the dining room. A large porcelain
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: stove crackled beneath a cactus that filled up the niche
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: in the wall, and in blackwood frames against the oak
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: stained paper hung steubens Esmeralda and Chopin's Potiphar. The ready
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: laid table, the two silver chafing dishes, the crystal door knobs,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: the parquet, and the furniture all shone with a scrupulous
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: English cleanliness. The windows were ornamented at each corner with
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: stained glass. Now this thought, Emma, is the dining room
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: I ought to have. The notary came in, pressing his
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: palm leaf dressing gown to his breast with his left arm,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: while with the other hand he raised and quickly put
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: on again his brown velvet cap, pretentiously cocked on the
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: right side whence looked out the ends of three fair
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: curls drawn from the back of the head, following the
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: line of his bald skull. After he had offered her
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: a seat, he sat down to breakfast, apologizing profusely for
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: his rudeness. I have come, she said, to beg you, sir,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: what madam I am listening, and she began explaining her
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: position to him. Monsieur Gilliman knew it, being secretly associated
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: with the linen draper, from whom he always got capital
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: for the loans on mortgages that he was asked to make.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: So he knew and better than she herself. The long
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: story of the bills, small, at first bearing different names
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: as endorsers, made out at long dates, and constantly renewed
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: up to the day when gathering together all the protested
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: bills the shopkeeper had bidden his friend Vincart taken his
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: own name. All the necessary proceedings not wishing to pass
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: for a tiger with his fellow citizens. She mingled her
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: story with recriminations against LaRue, to which the notary replied
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: from time to time with some insignificant word. Eating his
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: cutlet and drinking his tea, he buried his chin in
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: his sky blue cravat, into which were thrust two diamond
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: pins held together by a small gold chain, and he
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: smiled a singular smile in a sugary, ambiguous fashion. But
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: noticing that her feet were damp, he said, do get
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: closer to the stove. Put your feet up against the porcelain.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: She was afraid of dirtying it. The notary replied, in
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: a gallant tone. Beautiful things spoil nothing. Then she tried
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: to move him, and growing moved herself. She began telling
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: him about the poorness of her home, her worries, her wants.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: He could understand that an elegant woman, and without leaving
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: off eating, he had turned completely round towards her, so
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: that his knee brushed against her boot, whose soul curled
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: round as it smoked against the stove. But when she
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: asked for a thousand sous, he closed his lips and
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: declared he was very sorry. He had not had the
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: management of her fortune before, For there were hundreds of
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: ways very convenient even for a lady of turning her
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: money to account. They might either in the turf pits
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: of Grumsniil or building ground at Haver, almost without risk,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: have ventured on some excellent speculations. And he let her
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: consume herself with rage at the thought of the fabulous
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: sums that she would certainly have made. How was it,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: he went on, that you didn't come to me. I
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: hardly know, She said, why, Hey, did I frighten you
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: so much? It is I, on the contrary, who ought
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: to complain. We hardly know one another. Yet I am
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: very devoted to you. You do not doubt that, I hope.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: He held out his hand, took hers, covered it with
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: a greedy kiss, then held it on his knee, and
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: he played delicately with her fingers whilst he murmured a
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: thousand blandishments. His insipid voice murmured like a running brook.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: A light shone in his eyes through the glimmering of
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: his spectacles, and his hand was advancing up Emma's sleeve
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: to press her arm. She felt against her cheek. His
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: panting breath. This man oppressed her horribly. She sprang up
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: and said to him, sir, I am waiting for what,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: said the notary, who suddenly became very pale this money,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: but then, yielding to the outburst of too powerful a desire, Well, yes,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: he dragged himself towards her on his knees, regardless of
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: his dressing gown. For pity's sake, stay, I love you.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: He seized her by her waist. Madame Bovarie's face flushed purple.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: She recoiled with a terrible look, crying, you are taking
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: a shameless advantage of my distress. Sir, I am to
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: be pitied, not to be sold, and she went out.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: The notary remained quite stupefied, his eyes fixed on his
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: fine embroidered slippers. They were a love gift, and the
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: sight of them at last consoled him. Besides, he reflected
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: that such an adventure might have carried him too far.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: What a wretch, what a scoundrel, What an infamy? She
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: said to herself, as she fled with nervous steps beneath
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: the aspens of the path. The disappointment of her failure
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: increased the indignation of her outraged modesty. It seemed to
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: her that providence pursued her implacably and strengthening herself in
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: her pride. She had never felt so much esteem for herself,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: nor so much contempt for others. A spirit of warfare
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: transformed her. She would have liked to strike all men,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: to spit in their faces, to crush them. And she
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: walked rapidly straight on, pale, quivering, maddened, searching the empty
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: horizon with tear dimmed eyes, and as it were, rejoicing
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: in the hate that was choking her. When she saw
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: her house and numbness came over her. She could not
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: go on, and yet she must. Besides, whither could she flee?
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Felisde was waiting for her at the door. Well, no,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: said Emma, And for a quarter of an hour the
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: two of them went over the various persons in Yonville
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: who might perhaps be inclined to help her. But each
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: time that Felicite named someone, Emma replied, impossible, they will not,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: and the Master will soon be in. I know that
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: well enough, leave me alone. She had tried everything. There
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: was nothing more to be done now, And when Charles
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: came and she would have to say to him go away.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: This carpet on which you are walking is no longer ours.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: In your own house, you do not possess a chair,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: a pin, a straw, and it is I, poor man,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: who have ruined you. Then there would be a great sob.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: Next he would weep abundantly, and at last the surprise passed,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: he would forgive her. Yes, she murmured, grinding her teeth.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: He will forgive me, He who would give a million
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: if I would forgive him for having known me? Never never,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: This thought of Bovarie's superiority to her exasperated her. Then,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: whether she confessed or did not confess presently, immediately till morrow,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: he would know the catastrophe all the same. So she
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: must wait for this horrible scene and bear the weight
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: of his magnanimity. The desire to return to LaRue seized her.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: What would be the use to write to her father?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: It was too late, and perhaps she began to repent
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: now that she had not yielded to that other. When
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: she heard the trot of a horse in the alley,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: it was he. He was opening the gate. He was
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: whiter than the plaster wall. Rushing to the stairs, she
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: ran out quickly to the square, and the wife of
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: the Mayor, who was talking to Lesta Budoys in front
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: of the church, saw her go into the tax collectors.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: She hurried off to tell Madame Karen, and the two
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: ladies went up to the attic, and, hidden by some
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: linen spread across props, stationed themselves comfortably for overlooking the
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: whole of Bennet's room. He was alone in his garret,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: busy imitating in what one of those indescribable bits of ivory,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: composed of crescents of spheres, hollowed out, one within the other,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: the whole as straight as an obelisk, and of no
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: use whatever. And he was beginning on the last piece.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: He was nearing his goal. In the twilight of the workshop.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: The white dust was flying from his tools like a
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: shower of sparks under the hoofs of a galloping horse.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: The two wheels were turning, droning. Benet smiled, his chin lowered,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: his nostrils distended, and in a word, seemed lost in
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: one of those complete happinesses that no doubt belonged only
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: to commonplace occupations, which amused the mind with facile difficulties,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: and satisfied by a realization of that beyond which such
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: minds have not a dream. Ah, there she is, exclaimed
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: Madame Tuvache. But it was impossible because of the lathe
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: to hear what she was saying. At last, these ladies
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: thought they made out the word Franks, and Madame Tuvache
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: whispered in a low voice. She is begging him to
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: give her time for paying her taxes, apparently, replied the other.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: They saw her walking up and down, examining the napkin rings,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: the candlesticks, the banister rails against the walls, while Benet
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: stroked his beard with satisfaction. Do you think she wants
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: to order something of him, said Madame Tuvache. Why he
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't sell anything, objected her neighbor, the tax collector, seemed
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: to be listening with wide open eyes, as if he
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: did not understand. She went on in a tender, suppliant manner.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: She came nearer to him, her breast heaving. They no
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: longer spoke. Is she making him advances? Said Madame Tuvache.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: Bnnet was scarlet to his very ears. She took hold
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: of his hands. Oh it's too much, and no doubt
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: she was suggesting something abominable to him for the tax collector.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: Yet he was brave, had fought at Boston and at Lutzon,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: had been through the French campaign, and had even been
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: recommended for the Cross. Suddenly, as at the sight of
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: a serpent, recoiled as far as he could from her, crying, Madam,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: what do you mean? Women like that ought to be whipped,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: said Madame Tuvache. But where is she continued Madame Karen,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: for she had disappeared whilst they spoke. Then, catching sight
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: of her going up the Grande rous and turning to
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: the right, as if making for the cemetery, they were
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: lost in conjectures. Nurse Rawleet, she said, on reaching the nurses,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: I am choking, unlace me. She fell on the bed, sobbing.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: Nurse Rawleet covered her with a petticoat and remained standing
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: by her side. Then, as she did not answer, the
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: good woman Withdrew took her wheel and began spinning flax. Oh,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: leave off, she murmured, fancying she heard Bennet's lathe. What's
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: bothering her? Said the nurse to herself. Why has she
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: come here? She had rushed thither, impelled by a kind
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: of horror that drove her from her home. Lying on
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: her back, motionless and with staring eyes, she saw things,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: but vaguely, although she tried to with idiotic persistence. She
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: looked at the scales on the walls, two brands smoking
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: end to end, and a long spider crawling over her
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: head in a rent in the beam. At last she
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: began to collect her thoughts. She remembered one day lyon,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: oh how long ago that was? The sun was shining
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: on the river, and the clematis were perfuming. The air,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: then carried away as by a rushing torrent. She soon
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: began to recall the day before. What time is it,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: she asked, mere rolet went out, raised the fingers of
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: her right hand to that side of the sky that
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: was brightest, and came back slowly, saying nearly three ah.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: Thanks thanks for he would come. He would have found
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: some money, but he would perhaps go down yonder, not
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: guessing she was here, and she told the nurse to
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: run to her house to fetch him. Be quick. But
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: my dear lady, I'm going. I'm going, She wondered, now
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: that she had not thought of him from the first yesterday.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: He had given his word he would not break it,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: and she already saw herself at LaRue's spreading out her
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: three bank notes on his bureau. Then she would have
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: to invent some story to explain matters to Bovary. What
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: should it be? The nurse, however, was a long while gone.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: But as there was no clock in the cot, Emma
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: feared she was perhaps exaggerating the length of time. She
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: began walking round the garden step by step. She went
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: into the path by the hedge and returned quickly, hoping
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: that the woman would have come back by another road.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: At last, weary of waiting, assailed by fears that she
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: thrust from her, no longer conscious whether she had been
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: here a century or a moment, she sat down in
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: a corner, closed her eyes and stopped her ears. The
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: gate grated. She sprang up before she had spoken. Mere
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Rawleet said to her, there is no one at your house. What? Oh,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: no one? And the doctor is crying. He is calling
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: for you. They're looking for you. Emma answered nothing. She
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: gasped as she turned her eyes about her, while the
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: peasant woman, frightened at her face, drew back, instinctively, thinking
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: her mad. Suddenly, she struck her brow and uttered a cry,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: for the thought of Rodolph, like a flash of lightning
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: in a dark night, had passed into her soul. He
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: was so good, so delicate, so generous. And besides, should
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: he hesitate to do her this service, she would know
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: well enough how to constrain him to it by re
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: waking in a single moment their lost love. So she
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: set out towards Lahouchette, not seeing that she was hastening
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: to offer herself to that which but a while ago
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: had so angered her, not in the least conscious of
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: her prostitution. Chapter eight. She asked herself as she walked along,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: what am I going to say? How shall I begin?
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: And as she went on she recognized the thickets, the trees,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: the sea, rushes on the hill, the chateau yonder. All
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: the sensations of her first tenderness came back to her,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: and her poor aching heart opened out amorously. A warm
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: wind blew in her face, the melting snow fell drop
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: by drop from the buds to the grass. She entered
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: as she used to, through the small park gate. She
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: reached the avenue, bordered by a double row of dense
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: lime trees. They were swaying, their long whispering branches to
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: and fro. The dogs in their kennels all barked, and
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: the noise of their voices resounded, but brought out no one.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: She went up the large, straight staircase with wooden balusters
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: that led to the corridor paved with dusty flags, into
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: which several doors in a row opened, as in a
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: monastery or an inn. His was at the top right,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: at the end on the left. When she placed her
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: fingers on the lock, her strength suddenly deserted her. She
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: was afraid, almost wished he would not be there. Though
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: this was her only hope, her last chance of salvation,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: She collected her thoughts for one moment, and, strengthening herself
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: by the feeling of present necessity, went in. He was
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: in front of the fire, both his feet on the mantelpiece,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: smoking a pipe. What it is you, he said, getting
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: up hurriedly. Yes it is I Rodolph. I should like
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: to ask your advice. And despite all her efforts, it
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: was impossible for her to open her lips. You have
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: not changed. You are charming as ever, Oh, she replied bitterly.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: They are poor charms, since you disdained them. Then he
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: began a long explanation of his conduct, excusing himself in
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: vague terms. In default of being able to invent better,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: She yielded to his words, still more to his voice
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: in the sight of him, so that she pretended to believe,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: or perhaps believed, in the pretext he gave for their rupture.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: This was a secret on which depended the honor the
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: very life of a third person. No matter, she said,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: looking at him, sadly, I have suffered much, he replied, philosophically,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: such is life? Has life, Emma went on, been good
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: to you at least since our separation? Oh, neither good
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: nor bad. Perhaps it would have been better never to
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: have parted. Yes, perhaps you think so, she said, drawing nearer,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: and she sighed, Oh, Rodulf, if you but knew I
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: loved you. So it was then that she took his hand,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: and they remained some time, their fingers intertwined, like that
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: first day at the show, with a gesture of pride.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: He struggled against this emotion, but sinking upon his breast,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: she said to him, how did you think I could
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: live without you? One cannot lose the habit of happiness.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: I was desolate. I thought I should die. I will
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: tell you about all that, and you will see. And
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: you you fled from me for all the three years
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: he had carefully avoided her in consequence of that natural
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: cowardice that characterizes the stronger sex. Emma went on with
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: dainty little nods, more coaxing than an amorous kitten. You
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: love others. Confess it, Oh, I understand them. Dear, I
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: excuse them. You probably seduced them as you seduced me.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: You are indeed a man. You have everything to make
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: one love you. But we'll begin again, won't we? We
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: will love one another. See I laughing, I am happy?
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: Oh speak, And she was charming to see with her eyes,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: in which trembled a tear like the rain of a
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: storm in a blue corolla. He had drawn her upon
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: his knees, and with the back of his hand was
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: caressing her smooth hair, wherein the twilight was mirrored like
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: a golden arrow. One last ray of the sun. She
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: bent down her brow. At last he kissed her on
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: the eyelids, quite gently with the tips of his lips.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: Why you have been crying? What for? She burst into tears.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: Rodolph thought this was an outburst of her love. As
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: she did not speak, he took this silence for a
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: last remnant of resistance, and then he cried out, oh,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: forgive me. You are the only one who pleases me.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: I was imbecile and cruel. I love you, I will
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: love you always. What is it? Tell me? He was
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: kneeling by her. Well, I am ruined, Rodolf. You must
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: lend me three thousand francs. But but said he, getting
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: up slowly, while his face assumed a grave expression. You know,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: she went on quickly, that my husband had placed his
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: whole fortune at a notary's. He ran away, so we
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: borrowed the patience. Don't pay us moreover. The settling of
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: the estate is not yet done. We shall have the
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: money later on. But to day, for want of three
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: thousand francs, we are to be sold up. It is
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: to be at once, this very moment, and counting upon
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: your friendship, I have come to you, ah, thought Rodolf,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: turning very pale. That was what she came for. At last,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: he said, with a calm air, Dear Madam, I have
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: not got them. He did not lie. If he had
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: had them, he would no doubt have given them. Although
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: it is generally disagreeable to do such fine things. A
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: demand for money, being of all the winds that blow
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: upon love, the coldest and most destructive. First, she looked
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: at him for some moments. You have not got them,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: she repeated, several times, you have not got them. I
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: ought to have spared myself this last shame. You never
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: loved me. You are no better than the others. She
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: was betraying, ruining herself. Rodolph interrupted her, declaring he was
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: hard up himself. Ah, I pity you, said Emma, yes
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: very much, and fixing her eyes upon an embossed caraban
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: that shone against its panoply. But when one is so poor,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: one doesn't have silver on the butt of one's gun.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: One doesn't buy a clock inlaid with tortoise shell. She
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: went on, pointing to a bule time piece, nor silver
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: gilt whistles for one's whips, and she touched them, Nor
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: charms for one's watch. Oh he wants for nothing, even
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: to a liqueurs stand in his room. For you love yourself,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: You live well, You have a chateau, farms woods, you
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: go hunting, you travel to Paris. Why if it were
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: but that, she cried, taking up two studs from the mantelpiece.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: But the least of these trifles. One can get money
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: for them. Oh, I do not want them, keep them.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: And she threw the two links away from her, their
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: gold chain breaking as it struck against the wall. But
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: I I would have given you everything. I would have
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: sold all worked for you with my hands, would have
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: begged on the high roads for a smile, for a
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: look to hear you say thanks. And you sit there
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: quietly in your arm chair, as if you had not
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: made me suffer enough already. But for you, and you
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: know it, I might have lived happily. What made you
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: do it? Was it a bet? Yet you loved me,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: you said so, And but a moment since, Ah, it
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: would have been better to have driven me away. My
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: hands are hot with your kisses. And there is the
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: spot on the carpet where at my knees you swore
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: an eternity of love. You made me believe you for
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: two years you held me in the most magnificent, the
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: sweetest dream. Eh our plans for the journey? Do you remember? Oh?
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: Your letter, your letter, It tore my heart. And then
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: when I come back to him, to him, rich, happy,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: free to implore the help the first stranger would give
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: a suppliant and bringing back to him all my tenderness.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: He repulses me because it would cost him three thousand francs.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: I haven't got them, replied Rodolph, with that perfect calm
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: with which resigned rage covers itself as with a shield.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: She went out. The walls trembled, the ceiling was crushing her,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: and she passed back through the long alley, stumbling against
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: the heaps of dead leaves scattered by the wind. At
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: last she reached the haja hedge in front of the gate.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: She broke her nails against the lock in her haste
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: to open it. Then a hundred steps farther on, breathless,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: almost falling, she stopped, and now turning round, she once
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: more saw the impassive chateau, with the park, the gardens,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: the three courts, and all the windows of the facade.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: She remained lost in stupor, and having no more consciousness
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: of herself than through the beating of her arteries that
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: she seemed to hear bursting forth like a deafening music,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: filling all the fields. The earth beneath her feet was
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: more yielding than the sea, and the furrows seemed to
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: her immense brown waves, breaking into foam. Everything in her
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: head of memories ideas went off at once like a
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: thousand pieces of fireworks. She saw her father Lrue's closet,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: their room at home, another landscape. Madness was coming upon her.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: She grew afraid and made managed to recover herself in
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: a confused way. It is true for she did not
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: in the least remember the cause of the terrible condition
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: she was in, that is to say, the question of money.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: She suffered only in her love, and felt her soul
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: passing from her in this memory, as wounded men dying
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: feel their life ebb from their bleeding wounds. Night was falling,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: crows were flying about. Suddenly, it seemed to her that
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: fiery spheres were exploding in the air, like fulminating balls
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: when they strike, and were whirling whirling to melt. At
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: last upon the snow between the branches of the trees.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: In the midst of each of them appeared the face
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: of Rodolph. They multiplied and drew near her, penetrating her.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: It all disappeared. She recognized the lights of the houses
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: that shone through the fog. Now, her situation like an abyss,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: rose up before her. She was panting as if her
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: heart would burst. Then in an ecstasy of heroism that
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: made her almost joyous. She ran down the hill, crossed
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: the cowplank, the foot path, the alley, the market, and
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: reached the chemist's shop. She was about to enter, but
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: at the sound of the bell some one might come,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: and slipping in by the gate, holding her breath, feeling
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: her way along the walls, she went as far as
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: the door of the kitchen, where a candle stuck on
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: the stove was burning. Justin in his shirt sleeves was
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: carrying out a dish. Ah, they are dining. I will wait,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: he returned. She tapped at the window. He went out
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: the key, the one for upstairs where he keeps the
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: what And he looked at her, astonished at the pallor
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: of her face that stood out white against the black
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: background of the night. She seemed to him extraordinarily beautiful
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: and majestic as a phantom. Without understanding what she wanted,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: he had the presentiment of something terrible. But she went
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: on quickly in a love voice, in a swim melting voice,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: I wanted give it to me. As the partition wall
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: was thin, they could hear the clatter of the forks
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: on the plates. In the dining room. She pretended that
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: she wanted to kill the rats that kept her from sleeping.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: I must tell master no, stay then, with an indifferent air,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: Oh it's not worth while, I'll tell him presently, come
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: light me upstairs. She entered the corridor into which the
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: laboratory door opened. Against the wall was a key labeled Chaffernoon.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: Justin called the druggist, impatiently. Let us go up, and
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: he followed her. The key turned in the lock, and
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: she went straight to the third shelf. So well did
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: her memory guide her seize the blue jar, tore out
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: the cork, plunged in her hand, and, withdrawing it full
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: of a white powder, she began eating it. Stop. He cried,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: rushing at her, Hush, some one will come. He was
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: in despair, was calling out, say nothing, or all the
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: blame will fall on your master. Then she went home,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: suddenly calmed and with something of the serenity of one
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: that had performed a duty. When Charles, distracted by the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: news of the distraint, returned home, Emma had just gone out.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: He cried aloud, wept, fainted, But she did not return.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: Where could she be? He sent fell aside to hamas
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: to Monsieur Tuvache, to Lerue, to the lion door, everywhere,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: and in the intervals of his agony, he saw his
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: reputation destroyed, their fortune lost bare, it's future ruined by
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: what not a word. He waited till six in the evening.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: At last, unable to bear it any longer, and fancying
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: she had gone to Ruan, he set out along the
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: high road, walked a mile, met no one, again, waited
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: and returned home. She had come back. What was the matter?
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: Why explain to me? She sat down at her writing
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: table and wrote a letter, which she sealed slowly, adding
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: the date and the hour. Then she said, in a
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: solemn tone, you are to read it to morrow till
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: then I pray you do not ask me a single question, No,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: not one, but oh leave me. She lay down full
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: length on her bed. A bitter taste that she felt
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: in her mouth awakened her. She saw Charles and again
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: closed her eyes. She was studying herself curiously to see
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: if she were not suffering. But no, nothing as yet.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: She heard the ticking of the clock, the crackling of
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: the fire, and Charles breathing as he stood upright by
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: her bed. Ah it is but a little thing death,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: she thought. I shall fall asleep and all will be over.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: She drank a mouthful of water and turned to the wall.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: The frightful taste of ink continued. I am thirsty, Oh
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: so thirsty, she sighed. What is it, said Charles, who
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: was handing her a glass. It is nothing. Open the window.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: I am choking. She was seized with a sickness so
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: sudden that she had hardly time to draw out her
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: handkerchief from under the pillow. Take it away, she said, quickly,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: throw it away. He spoke to her. She did not answer.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: She lay motionless, afraid that the slightest movement might make
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: her vomit. But she felt an icy cold creeping from
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: her feet to her heart. Ah, it is beginning, she murmured,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: What did you say? She turned her head from side
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: to side with a gentle movement full of agony, while
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: constantly opening her mouth as if something very heavy were
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: weighing upon her tongue. At eight o'clock, the vomiting began again.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: Charles noticed that at the bottom of the basin there
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: was a sort of white sediment sticking to the sides
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: of the porcelain. This is extraordinary, very singular, he repeated,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: but she said in a firm voice, no, you are mistaken. Then, gently,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: and almost as caressing her, he passed his hand over
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: her stomach. She uttered a sharp cry. He fell back,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: terror stricken. Then she began to groan faintly. At first,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: her shoulders were shaken by a strong shuddering, and she
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: was growing paler than the sheets in which her clenched
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: fingers buried themselves. Her unequal pulse was now almost imperceptible.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: Drops of sweat oozed from her bluish face that seemed
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: as if rigid in the exhalations of a metallic vapor.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Her teeth chattered, her dilated eyes looked vaguely about her,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: and to all questions she replied only with a shake
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: of the head. She even smiled once or twice. Gradually,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: her moaning grew loud. A hollow shriek burst from her.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: She pretended she was better, and that she would get
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: up presently, but she was seized with convulsions and cried out, ah,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: my God, it is horrible. He threw himself on his
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: knees by her bed. Tell me what have you eaten? Answer?
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: For Heaven's sake, and he looked at her with a
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: tenderness in his eyes, such as she had never seen. Well,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: there there, she said in a faint voice. He flew
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: to the writing table, tore open the seal, and read aloud.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: Accused no one. He stopped, passed his hands across his eyes,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: and read it over again. What help, help? He could
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: only keep repeating the word poisoned, poisoned. Fell Aside, ran
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: to Hamas, who proclaimed it in the market place. Madame
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: la Francois heard it at the lion door. Some got
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: up to go and tell their neighbors, and all night
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: the village was on the alert. Distraught, faltering, reeling, Charles
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: wandered about the room. He knocked against the furniture, tore
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: his hair, and the chemist had never believed that there
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: could be so terrible a sight. He went home to
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: write to Monsieur Canevett and to doctor la Rivier. He
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: lost his head and made more than fifteen rough copies.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: Hippolyte went to Nachatel, and justin so spurred Bovarie's horse
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: that he left it foundered and three parts dead by
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: the hill at Boigillome. Charles tried to look up his
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: medical dictionary, but could not read it. The lines were dancing.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: Be calm, said the druggist. We have only to administer
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: a powerful antidote. What is the poison? Charles showed him
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: the letter. It was arsenic. Very well, said Hamese. We
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: must make an analysis, for he knew that in cases
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: of poisoning an analysis must be made. And the other,
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: who did not understand, answered, oh, do anything save her?
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: Then going back to her, he sank upon the carpet
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: and lay there with his head leaning against the edge
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: of her bed, sobbing. Don't cry, she said to him.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: Soon I shall not trouble you any more. Why was
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: it who drove you to it? She replied? It had
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: to be, my dear. Weren't you happy? Is it my fault?
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: I did all I could? Yes, that is true. You
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: are good you, And she passed her hand slowly over
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: his hair. The sweetness of this sensation deepened his sadness.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: He felt his whole being dissolving in despair at the
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: thought that he must lose her, just when she was
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: confessing more love for him than ever, and he could
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: think of nothing. He did not know, He did not
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: dare the urgent need for some immediate resolution gave the
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: finishing stroke to the turmoil of his mind. So she
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: had done, she thought, with all the treachery and meanness
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: and numberless desires that had tortured her, she hated no one. Now.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: A twilight dimness was settling upon her thoughts, and of
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: all earthly noises, Emma heard none but the intermittent lamentations
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: of this poor heart, sweet and indistinct, like the echo
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: of a symphony dying away. Bring me the child, she said,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: raising herself on her elbow. You are not worse, are you,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: ask Charles. No. No. The child, serious and still half asleep,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: was carried in on the servant's arm in her long
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: white nightgown, from which her bare feet peeped out. She
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: looked wonderingly at the disordered room and half closed her eyes.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: Dazzled by the candles burning on the table. They reminded
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: her no doubt of the morning of New Year's Day
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: in Midland, when, thus awakened early by candlelight, she came
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: to her mother's bed to fetch her presence, For she
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: began saying, but where is it, mamma, And as everybody
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: was silent, but I can't see my little stocking. Felicide
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: held her over the bed, while she still kept looking
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: towards the mantelpiece. Has nurse taken it? She asked, And
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: at this name that carried her back to the memory
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: of her adulteries and her calamities. Madame Bovarie turned away
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: her head as at the loathing of another bitter poison
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: that rose to her mouth. But Bert remained perched on
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: the bed. Oh how big your eyes are, mamma, How
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: pale you are? How hot you are? Her mother looked
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: at her. I am frightened, cried the child. Recoiling. Emma
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: took her hand to kiss it. The child struggled. That
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: will do take her away? Cried Charles, who was sobbing
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: in the alcove. Then the symptoms ceased for a moment.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: She seemed less agitated, and at every insignificant word, at
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: every respiration, a little more easy. He regained hope at last,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: when Cannevet came in, he threw himself into his arms. Ah,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: it is you, thanks, you are good, but she is better.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: See look at her. His colleague was by no means
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: of this opinion, and, as he said of himself, never
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: beating about the bush he prescribed, and a medic in
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: order to empty the stomach completely. She soon began vomiting blood.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: Her lips became drawn, her limbs were convulsed, her whole
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: body covered with brown spots, and her pulse slipped beneath
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: the fingers like a stretched thread, like a harp string,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: nearly breaking. After this, she began to scream horribly. She
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: cursed the poison, railed at it, and implored it to
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: be quick and thrust away with her stiffened arms. Everything
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: that Charles, in more agony than herself, tried to make
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: her drink. He stood up his handkerchief to his lips,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: with a rattling sound in his throat, weeping and choked
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: by sobs that shook his whole body. Felisite was running
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: hither and thither in the room. Hamaece, motionless, uttered great sighs,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: and Monsieur Cannavet, always retaining his self command, nevertheless, began
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: to feel uneasy the devil. Yet she has been purged.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: And from the moment that the cause ceases, the effect
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: must cease, said Hamaece. That is evident, Oh save her,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: cried Bovary, and without listening to the chemist, who was
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: still venturing the hypothesis it is perhaps a salutary paroxysm.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: Cannavet was about to administer some theoriac when they heard
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: the cracking of a whip. All the windows rattled, and
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: a post chaise, drawn by three horses abreast up to
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: their ears in mud, drove at a gallop round the
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: corner of the market. It was doctor la Rivier. The
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: apparition of a god would not have caused more commotion.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: Bovary raised his hands, cannevet stopped short, and Hames pulled
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: off his skull cap long before the doctor had come in.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: He belonged to that great school of surgery begotten of Bishah,
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: to that generation now extinct, of philosophical practitioners, who, loving
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: their art with a fanatical love, exercised it with enthusiasm
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: and wisdom. Every one in his hospital trembled when he
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: was angry, and his students so revered him that they tried,
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: as soon as they were themselves in practice, to imitate
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: him as much as possible, so that in all the
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: towns about they were found wearing his long wadded merino
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: overcoat and black frock coat, whose buttoned cuff slightly covered
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: his brawny hands, very beautiful hands, and that never new gloves,
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: as though to be more ready to plunge into suffering,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: disdainful of honors, of titles and of academies, like one
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: of the old Knight hospitalers, generous fatherly to the poor,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: and practicing virtue without believing in it. He would almost
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: have passed for a saint, if the keenness of his
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: intellect had not caused him to be feared as a demon.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: His glance, more penetrating than his bisteries, looked straight into
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: your soul and dissected every liathwart all assertions and all reticences.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: And thus he went along, full of that debonair majesty
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: that is given by the consciousness of great talent, of fortune,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: and of forty years of a laborious and irreproachable life.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: He frowned as soon as he had passed the door,
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: when he saw the cadaverous face of Emma stretched out
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: on her back with her mouth open. Then, while apparently
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: listening to Cannavet, he rubbed his fingers up and down
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: beneath his nostrils and repeated good, Good, But he made
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: a slow gesture with his shoulders. Bovary watched him. They
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: looked at one another, and this man, accustomed as he
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: was to the sight of pain, could not keep back
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: a tear that fell on his shirt frill. He tried
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: to take Cannavet into the next room. Charles followed him.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: She is very ill, isn't she? If we put on cynopisms, anything, Oh,
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: think of something, you who have saved so many. Charles
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: caught him in both his arms and gazed at him wildly, imploringly,
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: half fainting against his breast, Come, my poor fellow, courage,
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: there is nothing more to be done. And doctor la
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: Rivier turned away. You are going, I will come back.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: He went out only to give an order to the
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: coachman with Monsieur Canavet, who did not care either to
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: have Emma die under his hands. The chemist rejoined them
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: on the place. He could not, by temperament, keep away
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: from celebrities, so he begged Monsieur la Rivier to do
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: him the signal honor of accepting some breakfast. He sent
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: quickly to the lion door for some pigeons, to the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: butchers for all the cutlets that were to be had
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: to too vash for cream and to lest to budoys
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: for eggs, and the druggist himself ate it in the preparations.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: While Madame Hommece was saying, as she pulled together the
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: strings of her jacket, you must excuse us, sir, for
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: in this poor place, when one hasn't been told the
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: night before wine glasses, whispered Homace. If only we were
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: in town, we could fall back upon stuff trotters. Be quiet,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: Sit down, doctor, he thought fit, after the first few mouthfuls,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: to give some details as to the catastrophe. We first
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: had a feeling of sick city in the pharynx, then
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: intolerable pains at the epigastrium, superpurgation coma. But how did
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: she poison herself? I don't know, doctor, and I don't
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: even know where she can have procured the arsenius acid. Justin,
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: who was just bringing in a pile of plates, began
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: to tremble. What's the matter, said the chemist. At this question,
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: the young man dropped the whole lot on the ground
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: with a crash. Imbecile, cried Hamace, awkward lout, blockhead, confounded
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: ass but suddenly controlling himself. I wished doctor to make
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: an analysis and primo I delicately introduced a tube. You
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: would have done better, said the physician, to introduce your
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: fingers into her throat. His colleague was silent, having just
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: before privately received a severe lecture about his emetic so
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: that this good canavat so arrogant and so verbose at
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: the time of the clubfoot, was to day very modest.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: He smiled without ceasing in an approving manner. Hames dilated
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: in amphatrionic pride, and the affecting thought of Bovary vaguely
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: contributed to his pleasure by a kind of egotistic reflex
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: upon himself. Then the presence of the doctor transported him.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: He displayed his erudition, cited pellmel Cantherides eupis the manchineal vipers.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: I have even read that various persons have found themselves
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: under toxicological symptoms, and as it were, thunder stricken by
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: black pudding that had been subjected to a too vehement fumigation.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: At least this was stated in a very fine report
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: drawn up by one of our pharmaceutical chiefs, one of
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: our masters, the illustrious cadet To Gascort, Madam Hamace reappeared,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: carrying one of those shaky machines that are heated with
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: spirits of wine. For Hamece liked to make his coffee
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: at table, having moreover torrified it, pulverized it, and mixed
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: it himself sacrum, doctor said, he offering the sugar. Then
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: he had all his children brought down, anxious to have
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: the physician's opinion on their constitutions. At last, Monsieur la
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: Rivier was about to leave when Madame Hamas asked for
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: a consultation about her husband. He was making his blood
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: too thick by going to sleep every evening after dinner.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: Oh it isn't his blood that's too thick, said the physician,
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: and smiling a little at his unnoticed joke. The doctor
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: opened the door, but the chemist's shop was full of people.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: He had the greatest difficulty in getting rid of Monsieur Tuvash,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: who feared his spous would get inflammation of the lungs
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: because she was in the habit of spitting on the ashes.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: Then of Monsieur Benet, who sometimes experienced sudden attacks of
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: great hunger, and of Madame Karen, who suffered from tinglings
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: of LaRue, who had vertigo of Lesta Budoys, who had rheumatism,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: and of Madame la Francois, who had heartburn. At last
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: the three horses started, and it was the general opinion
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: that he had not shown himself at all. Obliging public
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: attention was distracted by the appearance of Monsieur Bournisian, who
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: was going across the market with the holy oil Hames,
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: as was due to his principles compared priests to ravens
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: attracted by the odor of death. The sight of an
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: ecclesiastic was personally disagreeable to him, for the cassock made
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: him think of the shroud, and he did tested the
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: one from some fear of the other. Nevertheless, not shrinking
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: from what he called his mission, he returned to Bovaries
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: in company with Cannevette, whom Monsieur la Rivier, before leaving
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: had strongly urged to make this visit, and he would,
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: but for his wife's objections, have taken his two sons
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: with him, in order to accustom them to great occasions,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: that this might be a lesson, an example, a solemn
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: picture that should remain in their heads later on. The
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: room when they went in was full of mournful solemnity.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: On the work table, covered over with a white cloth.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: There were five or six small balls of cotton in
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: a silver dish, near a large crucifix between two lighted candles. Emma,
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: her chin sunken upon her breast, had her eyes inordinately
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: wide open, and her poor hands wandered over the sheets
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: with that hideous and soft movement of the dyeing that
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: seems as if they wanted already to cover themselves with
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: the shroud. Pale as a statue, and with eyes red
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: as fire charged garls not weeping, stood opposite her at
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: the foot of the bed, while the priest, bending one knee,
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: was muttering words in a low voice. She turned her
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: face slowly and seemed filled with joy on seeing suddenly
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: the violet stole, no doubt, finding again in the midst
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: of a temporary lull in her pain, the lost voluptuousness
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: of her first mystical transports, with the visions of eternal
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: beatitude that were beginning. The priest rose to take the crucifix.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: Then she stretched forward her neck as one who is athirst,
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: and gluing her lips to the body of the man God,
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: she pressed upon it with all her expiring strength, the
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: fullest kiss of love that she had ever given. Then
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: he recited the miser reader and the indulgent i am,
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: dipped his right thumb in the oil, and began to
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: give extreme unction. First upon the eyes that had so
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: coveted all worldly pomp, Then upon the nostrils that had
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: been greedy of the warm breeze and amorous odors. Then
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: upon the mouth that had uttered lies, that had curled
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: with pride and cried out in lewdness. Then upon the
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: hands that had delighted in sensual touches, And finally upon
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: the saws of the feet so swift of yore, when
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: she was running to satisfy her desires, and that would
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: now walk no more. The cure wiped his fingers through
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: the bit of cotton dipped in oil, into the fire,
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: and came and sat down by the dying woman to
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: tell her that she must now blend her sufferings with
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: those of Jesus Christ and abandon herself to the divine mercy.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: Finishing his exhortations, he tried to place in her hand
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: a blessed candle, symbol of the celestial glory with which
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: she was soon to be surrounded. Emma, too weak, could
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: not close her fingers, and the taper. But for Monsieur
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: Bournision would have fallen to the ground. However, she was
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: not quite so pale, and her face had an expression
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: of serenity, as if the sacrament had cured her. The
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: priest did not fail to point this out. He even
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: explained to Bovary that the Lord sometimes prolonged the life
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: of persons when he thought it meet for their salvation,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: and Charles remembered the day when, so near death she
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: had received the communion. Perhaps there was no need to despair,
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: he thought. In fact, she looked around her slowly, as
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: one awakening from a dream. Then, in a distinct voice,
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: she asked for her looking glass, and remained some time
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: bending over it until the big tears fell from her eyes.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: Then she turned away her head with a sigh, and
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: fell back upon the pillows. Her chest soon began panting rapidly.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: The whole of her tongue protruded from her mouth. Her eyes,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: as they rolled, grew paler, like the two globes of
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: a lamp that is going out, so that one might
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: have thought her already dead, but for the fearful laboring
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: of her ribs, shaken by violent breathing, as if the
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: soul were struggling to free itself. Felisk knelt down before
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: the crucifix, and the druggist himself slightly bent his knees,
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: while Monsieur Kennevett looked out vaguely at the place Bernician
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: had again begun to pray, his face bowed against the
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: edge of the bed, his long black cassock trailing behind him.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: In the room, Charles was on the other side, on
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: his knees, his arms outstretched towards Emma. He had taken
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: her hands and pressed them, shuddering at every beat of
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: her heart, as at the shaking of a falling ruin.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: As the death rattle became stronger, the priest prayed faster,
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: his prayers mingled with the stifled sobs of Bovary, and
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: sometimes all seemed lost in the muffled murmur of the
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: Latin syllables that told like a passing bell. Suddenly on
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: the pavement was heard a loud noise of clogs and
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: the clattering of a stick, and a voice rose, a
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: raucous voice that sang maids in the warmth of a
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: summer day, dream of love. And of love always. Emma
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: raised herself like a galvanized corpse, her hair undone, her
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: eyes fixed, staring where the sickle blades have been. Nanette
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: gathering ears of corn, passes bending down, my queen, to
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: the earth where they were born. The blind man. She cried,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: and Emma began to laugh, an atrocious, frantic, despairing laugh,
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: thinking she saw the hideous face of the poor wretch
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: that stood out against the eternal night like a menace.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: The wind is strong this summer day. Her petticoat has
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: flown away. She fell back upon the mattress in a convulsion.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: They all drew near. She was dead. Chapter nine. There
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: is always, after the death of any one a kind
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: of stupefaction. So difficult is it to grasp this advent
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: of nothingness, and to resign ourselves to believe in it.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: But still, when he saw that she did not move,
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: Charles threw himself upon her, crying, farewell, farewell. Pamese, and
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: Cannavett dragged him from the room. Restrain yourself, yes, said he, struggling.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: I'll be quiet, I'll not do anything, but leave me alone.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: I want to see her. She is my wife, And
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: he wept cry, said the chemist. Let nature take her course,
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: that will solace you. Weaker than a child. Charles let
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: himself be led downstairs into the sitting room, and Monsieur
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: Hawmes soon went home. On the place he was accosted
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: by the blind man, who, having dragged himself as far
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: as Yonville in the hope of getting the antiphlogistic Poe made,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: was asking every passer by where the druggist lived there now,
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: as if I hadn't got other fish to fry well,
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: so much the worse you must come later on, And
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: he entered the shop hurriedly. He had to write two
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: letters to prepare a soothing potion for Bovary, to invent
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: some lie that would conceal the poisoning, and work it
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: up into an article for the fatal without counting the
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: people who were waiting to get the news from him.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: And when the yon Villers had all heard his story
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: of the arsenic that she had mistaken for sugar in
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: making a vanilla cream, Hawmas once more returned to Bovaries.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: He found him alone. Monsieur Canevett had left, sitting in
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: an arm chair near the window, staring with an idiotic
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: look at the flags of the floor. Now, said the chemist.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: You ought yourself to fix the hour for the ceremony.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: Why what ceremony? Then, in a stammering, frightened voice, Oh no,
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: not that, No, I want to see her here. Ha Mace,
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: to keep himself in countenance, took up a water bottle
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: on the wat not to water the geraniums. Ah. Thanks,
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: said Charles, you are good. But he did not finish,
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: choking beneath the crowd of memories that this action of
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: the druggist recalled to him. Then, to distract him, James
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: thought fit to talk a little. Horticulture plants wanted humidity.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: Charles bowed his head in sign of approbation. Besides, the
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: fine days will soon be here again, ah, said Bovary.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: The Druggist, at his wits end, began softly to draw
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: aside the small window curtain. Hullo, there's Monsieur tuvache passing.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: Charles repeated like a machine, Monsieur tuvache passing. Hamees did
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: not dare to speak to him again about the funeral arrangements.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: It was the priest who succeeded in reconciling him to them.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: He shut himself up in his consulting room, took a pen, and,
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: after sobbing for some time, wrote, I wish her to
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: be buried in her wedding dress, with white shoes and
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: a wreath. Her hair is to be spread out over
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: her shoulders. Free coffins, one of oak, one of mahogany,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: one of lead. Let no one say anything to me.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: I shall have strength. Over All, there is to be
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: placed a large piece of green velvet. This is my wish.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: See that it is done. The two men were much
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: surprised at Boverie's romantic ideas. The chemist at once went
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: to him and said, this velvet seems to me a superfitation.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: Besides the expense, what's that to you? Cried Charles, leave me.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: You did not love her. Go. The priest took him
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: by the arm for a turn in the garden. He
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: discoursed on the vanity of earthly things. God was very great,
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: was very good. One must submit to his decrees without
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: a murmur. Nay, must even thank him. Charles burst out
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: into blasphemies. I hate your God. The spirit of rebellion
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: is still upon you, sighed The ecclesiastic Bovary was far away.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: He was walking with great strides along by the wall
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: near the espalire, and he ground his teeth. He raised
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: to heaven looks of malediction, but not so much as
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: a leaf stirred. A fine rain was falling. Charles, whose
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: chest was bare, at last began to shiver. He went
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: in and sat down in the kitchen. At six o'clock
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: a noise like a clatter of old iron was heard
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: on the place. It was the Hirondell coming in, and
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: he remained with his forehead against the window pane, watching
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: all the passengers get out, one after the other. Feliside
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: put down a mattress for him in the drawing room.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: He threw himself upon it and fell asleep. Although a philosopher,
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: Monsieur Hamas respected the dead, so bearing no grudge to
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: poor Charles, he came back again in the evening to
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: sit up with the body, bringing with him three volumes
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: and a pocket book for taking notes. Monsieur Bournisien was there,
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: and two large candles were burning at the head of
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: the bed that had been taken out of the alcove.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: The druggist, on whom the silence weighed, was not long
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: before he began formulating some regrets about this unfortunate young woman,
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: and the priest replied that there was nothing to do
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: now but pray for her. Yet Hawmese went on one
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: of two things. Either she died in a state of
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: grace as the Church has it, and then she has
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: no need of our prayers. Or else she departed impertinent,
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: that is, I believe the ecclesiastical expression. And then Bunisian
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: interrupted him, replying testily that it was none the less
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: necessary to pray. But objected the chemist, Since God knows
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: all our needs, what can be the good of prayer?
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: What cried the ecclesiastic prayer? Why aren't you a Christian?
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, said Hames. I admire Christianity to begin with.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: It enfranchised the slaves, introduced into the world of morality.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: That isn't the question. All the texts, dash oh oh
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: as to texts, look at history. It is known that
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: all the texts have been falsified by the Jesuits. Charles
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: came in, and, advancing towards the bed, slowly drew the curtains.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: Emma's head was turned towards her right shoulder. The corner
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: of her mouth, which was open, seemed like a black
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: hole at them the lower part of her face. Her
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: two thumbs were bent into the palms of her hands.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: A kind of white dust besprinkled her lashes, and her
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: eyes were beginning to disappear in that viscous pallor that
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: looks like a thin web, as if spiders had spun
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: it over. The sheet sunk in from her breast to
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: her knees, and then rose at the tips of her toes.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: And it seemed to Charles that infinite masses, an enormous load,
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: were weighing upon her. The church clock struck two. They
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: could hear the loud murmur of the river flowing in
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: the darkness at the foot of the terrace. Monsieur Bernicion,
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: from time to time blew his nose noisily, and Homi's
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: pen was scratching over the paper. Come, my good friend,
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: he said, withdraw. This spectacle is tearing you to pieces. Charles.
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: Once gone, the chemist and the cure recommenced their discussions.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: Read Voltaire, said, the one red Daubach read the encyclopedia,
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: read the letters of some Portuguese Jews, said the other
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: read the Meaning of Christianity by Nicholas, formerly a magistrate.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: They grew warm, they grew red. They both talked at
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: once without listening to each other. Bernician was scandalized at
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: such Audacityjmees marveled at such stupidity, and they were on
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: the point of insulting one another when Charles suddenly reappeared.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: A fascination drew him. He was continually coming upstairs. He
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: stood opposite her, the better to see her, and he
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: lost himself in a contemplation so deep that it was
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: no longer painful. He recalled stories of catalepsy, the marvels
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: of magnetism, and he said to himself that by willing
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: it with all his force, he might perhaps succeed in
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: reviving her. Once he even bent towards he and cried,
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: in a low voice, Emma, Emma. His strong breathing made
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: the flames of the candles tremble against the wall. At daybreak,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: Madame Bovarie Signior arrived. Charles, as he embraced her burst
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: into another flood of tears. She tried, as the chemist
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: had done, to make some remarks to him on the
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: expenses of the funeral. He became so angry that she
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: was silent, and he even commissioned her to go to
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: town at once and buy what was necessary. Charles remained
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: alone the whole afternoon. They had taken Baret to Madame Homaise.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: Fell Aside was in the room upstairs with Madame la Francois.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: In the evening he had some visitors. He rose pressed
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: their hands, unable to speak. Then they sat down near
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: one another and formed a large semicircle in front of
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: the fire, with lowered faces and swinging one leg crossed
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: over the other knee. They uttered deep sighs at intervals.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: Each one was inordinately bored, and yet none would be
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: the first to Gojmace when he returned at nine o'clock.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: For the last two days only Hames seemed to have
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: been on the place. Was laden with a stock of camphor,
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: of benzine and aromatica. He also carried a large jar
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: full of chlorine water to keep off all my Asthmada.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: Just then the servant Madame la Francois and Madame Bovarie
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: Senior were busy about Emma finishing dressing her, and they
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: were drawing down the long stiff veil that covered her
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: to her satin shoes. Fellasde was sobbing. Ah, My poor mistress,
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: My poor mistress. Look at her, said the landlady, sighing.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: How pretty she still is now, couldn't you swear she
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: was going to get up in a minute. Then they
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: bent over her to put on her wreath. They had
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: to raise the head a little, and a rush of
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: black liquid issued, as if she were vomiting from her mouth.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: Oh goodness, the dress. Take care, cried Madame la Francois.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: Now just come and help, she said to the chemist.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you're afraid. I afraid, replied he, shrugging his shoulder.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: I dare say I've seen all sorts of things at
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: the hospital. When I was studying pharmacy, we used to
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: make punch in the dissecting room. Nothingness does not terrify
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: a philosopher, And as I often say, I even intend
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: to leave my body to the hospitals in order later
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: on to serve science. The cure. On his arrival, inquired
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: how Monsieur Bovarie was, and, on the reply of the
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: druggist went on, the blow, you see is still too recent.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: Then Hamase congratulated him on not being exposed like other
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: people to the loss of a beloved companion. Whence there
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: followed a discussion on the celibacy of priests. For said
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: the chemist, it is unnatural that a man should do
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: without women. There have been crimes, but good Heaven, cried
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: the ecclesiastic. How do you expect an individual who is
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: married to keep the secrets of the confessional? For example,
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: Hameace fell foul of the confessional. Buernician defended it. He
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: enlarged on the acts of restitution that it brought about.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: He cited various anecdotes about thieves who had suddenly become honest.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: Military men, on approaching the tribunal of penitence, had felt
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: the scales fall from their eyes at Freewhere there was
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: a minister. His companion was asleep. Then he felt somewhat
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: stifled by the over heavy atmosphere of the room. He
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: opened the window. This awoke the chemist. Come take a
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: pinch of snuff, he said to him, take it, it'll
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: relieve you. A continual barking was heard in the distance.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: Do you hear that dog howling? Said the chemist. They
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: smell the dead, replied the priest. It's like bees. They
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: leave their hives on the decease of any person. Hames
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: made no remark upon these prejudices, for he had again
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: dropped asleep. Monsieur Bernicion stronger than he went on, moving
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: his lips gently for some time. Then insensibly his chin
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: sank down. He let fall his big black boot and
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: began to snore. They sat opposite one another, with protruding stomachs,
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 1: puffed up faces, and frowning looks after so much disagreement,
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: uniting at last in the same human weakness, and they
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: moved no more than the corpse by their side that
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: seemed to be sleeping. Charles coming in did not wake them.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: It was the last time he came to bid her farewell.
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 1: The aromatic herbs were still smoking, and spirals of bluish
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: vapor blended at the window sash. With the fog that
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: was coming in. There were few stars, and the night
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: was worn. The wax of the candles fell in great
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: drops upon the sheets of the bed. Charles watched them burn,
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: tiring his eyes against the glare of their yellow flame.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: The watering on the satin gown shimmered white as moonlight.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: Emma was lost beneath it, and it seemed to him that,
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: spreading beyond her own self, she blended, confusing with everything
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: around her, the silence the night, the passing wind, the
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: damp odors rising from the ground. Then suddenly he saw
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: her in the garden at toasts on a bench against
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: the thorn hedge, or else at Ruan, in the streets,
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: on the threshold of their house. In the yard at Bertaal,
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: he again heard the laughter of the happy boys beneath
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: the apple trees. The room was filled with the perfume
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: of her hair, and her dress rustled in his arms
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 1: with a noise like electricity. The dress was still the
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: same for a long while. He thus recalled all his
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: lost joys, her attitudes, her movements, the sound of her voice.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: Upon one fit of despair followed another, and even others,
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: inexhaustible as the waves of an overflowing sea. A terrible
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: curiosity seized him. Slowly, with the tips of his fingers palpitating,
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 1: he lifted her veil, but he uttered a cry of
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: horror that awoke the other two. They dragged him down
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 1: into the sitting room. Then Felsite came up to say
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 1: that he wanted some of her hair cut. Some off,
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 1: replied the druggist, And as she did not dare to
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: he himself stepped forward. Scissors in hand, he trembled so
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: that he pierced the skin of the temple in several places.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: At last, stiffening himself against emotion, Hamese gave two or
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 1: three great cuts at random that left white patches amongst
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: that beautiful black hair. The chemist and the cure plunged
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: anew into their occupations, not without sleeping from time to time,
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 1: of which they accused each other reciprocally at each fresh awakening.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: Then Monsieur Bernician sprinkled the room with holy water and
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: haw mace through a little chlorine water on the floor.
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: Felisite had taken care to put on the chest of
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: drawers for each of them a bottle of brandy, some cheese,
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: and a large roll. And the druggist, who could not
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: hold out any longer, about four in the morning, side
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: my word, I should like to take some sustenance. The
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: priest did not need any persuading. He went out to
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 1: go and say mass came back, and then they ate
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: and hobnobbed, giggling a little without knowing why, stimulated by
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: that vague gaiety that comes upon us after times of sadness,
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 1: and at the last glass. The priest said to the druggist,
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 1: as he clapped him on the shoulder, we shall end
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 1: by understanding one another. In the passage downstairs, they met
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 1: the undertaker's men who were coming in. Then Charles, for
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 1: two hours had to suffer the torture of hearing the
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 1: hammer resound against the wood. Next day they lowered her
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: into her oak coffin that was fitted into the other two,
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: but as the bier was too large, they had to
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: fill up the gaps with the wool of a mattress.
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: At last, when the three lids had been plained down,
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: nailed soldered, it was placed outside in front of the door.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: The house was thrown open, and the people of Janville
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: began to flock round. Old Rouau arrived and fainted on
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 1: the place when he saw the black cloth. Chapter ten.
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 1: He had only received the chemist's letter thirty six hours
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: after the event, and from consideration for his feelings, James
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: had so worded it that it was impossible to make
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 1: out what it was all about. First, the old fellow
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 1: had fallen as if struck by apoplexy. Next he understood
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 1: that she was not dead, but she might be. At Last,
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: he had put on his blouse, taken his hat, fastened
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: his spurs to his boots, and set out at full speed.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: And the whole of the way old Rua panting, was
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: torn by anguish. Once even he was obliged to dismount.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: He was dizzy, He heard voices round about him. He
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 1: felt himself going mad. Day broke. He saw three black
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: hens asleep in a tree. He shuddered, horrified at this omen.
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: Then he promised the Holy Virgin three chassibles for the church,
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: and that he would go barefooted from the cemetery at
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: Bertas to the chapel of Vasinville. He entered Marama, shouting
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: for the people of the inn, burst open the door,
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 1: with a thrust of his shoulder, made for a sack
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: of oats, emptied a bottle of sweet cider into the manger,
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 1: and again mounted his nag, whose feet struck fire as
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: it dashed along. He said to himself that no doubt
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: they would save her. The doctors would discover some remedy.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: Surely he remembered all the miraculous cures he had been
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: told about. Then she appeared to him dead. She was
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: there before his eyes, lying on her back in the
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: middle of the road. He reined up, and the hallucination disappeared.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: At Quincompois. To give himself heart, he drank three cups
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 1: of coffee, one after the other. He fancied they had
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: made a mistake in the name in writing. He looked
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: for the letter in his pocket, felt it there, but
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: did not dare to open it. At last, he began
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: to think it was all a joke, someone's spite, the
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: jest of some wag. And besides, if she were dead,
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 1: one would have known it. But no, there was nothing
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 1: extraordinary about the country. The sky was blue, the trees swayed,
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 1: a flock of sheep past. He saw the village. He
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: was seen coming, bending forward upon his horse, belaboring it
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: with great blows, the girth stripping with blood. When he
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 1: had recovered consciousness, he fell, weeping into Bovarie's arms. My girl, Emma,
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: my child, tell me. The other replied, sobbing. I don't know,
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a curse. The druggists separated them.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: These horrible details are useless. I will tell this gentleman
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: all about it. Here are the people coming, Dignity, come now, philosophy.
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: The poor fellow tried to show himself brave and repeated
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: several times. Yes, courage, oh, cried the old man, So
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: I will have By God, I'll go along oak her
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: to the end. The bell began tolling. All was ready.
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 1: They had to start, and seated in a stall of
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: the choir side by side, they saw pass and repass
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 1: in front of them continually the three chanting choristers. The
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 1: serpent player was blowing with all his might. Monsieur Bernicion,
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: in full vestments, was singing in a shrill voice. He
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: bowed before the tabernacle, raising his hands stretched out his arms,
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: lest a Budoys went about the church with his whale
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 1: bone stick. The bier stood near the lectern between four
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 1: rows of candles. Charles felt inclined to get up and
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: put them out. Yet he tried to stir himself to
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: a feeling of devotion, to throw himself into the hope
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: of a future life in which he should see her again.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 1: He imagined to himself she had gone on a long
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 1: journey far away for a long time. But when he
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: thought of her lying there, and that all was over,
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: that they would lay her in the earth, he was
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 1: seized with a fierce, gloomy, despairful rage. At times he
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 1: thought he felt nothing more, and he enjoyed this lull
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: in his pain, whilst at the same time he reproached
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 1: himself for being a wretch. The sharp noise of an
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 1: iron ferriled stick was heard on the stones, striking them
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: at irregular intervals. It came from the end of the
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: church and stopped short at the lower aisles. A man
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: in a coarse brown jacket knelt down painfully. It was Hippolyte,
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 1: the stable boy at the lion door. He had put
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 1: on his new leg. One of the choristers went round
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: the knave making a collection, and the coppers chinked one
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: after the other on the silver plate. Oh make haste,
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 1: I am in pain, cried Bovary, angrily, throwing him a
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 1: five franc piece. The churchman thanked him with a deep bow.
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 1: They sang, they knelt, they stood up. It was endless.
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: He remembered that once in the early times they had
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 1: been to mass together, and they had sat down on
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 1: the other side, on the right by the wall. The
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 1: bell began again. There was a great moving of chairs.
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 1: The bearers slipped their three staves under the coffin, and
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: everyone left the church. Then, justin appeared at the door
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: of the shop. He suddenly went in again, pale, staggering.
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: People were at the windows to see the procession pass.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: Charles at the head, walked erect. He effected a brave
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 1: air and saluted with a nod. Those who coming out
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 1: from the lanes or from their doors. Stood amidst the crowd.
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 1: The six men, three on either side, walked slowly, panting
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: a little. The priests, the choristers, and the two choir
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: boys were sighted the De Profundis twenty two, and their
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: voices echoed over the fields, rising and falling with their undulations.
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they disappeared in the windings of the path, but
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 1: the great silver cross rose always before the trees twenty two,
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: Psalm sexxx. The women followed in black cloaks with turned
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 1: down hoods. Each of them carried in her hands a
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 1: large lighted candle, and Charles felt himself growing weaker at
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 1: this continual repetition of prayers and torches. Beneath this oppressive
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: odor of wax and of cassacks, a fresh breeze was blowing.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 1: The rye and calzo were sprouting. Little dewdrops trembled at
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 1: the roadsides and on the hawthorn hedges. All sorts of
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: joyous sounds filled the air, the jolting of a cart
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: rolling afar off in the ruts, the crowing of a
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: cock repeated again and again, or the gambling of a
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: full running away under the apple trees. The pure sky
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 1: was fretted with rosy clouds, A bluish haze rested upon
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 1: the cots covered with iris. Charles, as he passed, recognized
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: each courtyard. He remembered mornings like this, when after visiting
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 1: some patient, he came out from one and returned to her.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: The black cloth, bestrewn with white beads, blew up from
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: time to time, laying bare the coffin. The tired bearers
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: walked more slowly, and it advanced with constant jerks, like
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: a boat that pitches with every wave. They reached the cemetery,
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 1: the men went right down to a place in the
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: grass where a grave was dug. They ranged themselves all round,
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: and while the priests spoke, the red soil thrown up
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 1: at the sides kept noiselessly slipping down at the corners. Then,
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 1: when the four ropes were arranged, the coffin was placed
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 1: upon them. He watched it descend, it seemed, descending forever.
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: At last a thud was heard. The ropes creaked as
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 1: they were drawn up. Then Bornician took the spade handed
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 1: to him by Lesta Budoys with his left hand, all
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 1: the time sprinkling water with the right. He vigorously threw
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 1: in a large spadeful, and the wood of the coffin,
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 1: struck by the pebbles, gave forth that dread sound that
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 1: seems to us the river of eternity. The ecclesiastic passed
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: the holy water sprinkler to his neighbor. This was Hamese.
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 1: He swung it gravely, then handed it to Charles, who
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 1: sank to his knees in the earth and threw in
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 1: handfuls of it. Crying adieu, he sent her kisses. He
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 1: dragged himself towards the grave to engulf himself with her.
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 1: They led him away, and he soon grew calmer, feeling,
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: perhaps like the others, a vague satisfaction that it was
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 1: all over. Old Rouau, on his way back, began quietly
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 1: smoking a pipe, which Hamese, in his innermost conscience, thought
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 1: not quite the thing. He also noticed that Monsieur Benet
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 1: had not been present and that Tuvache had made off
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 1: after mass, and that Theodore the notary servant wore a
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 1: blue coat, as if one could not have got a
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 1: black coat, since that is the custom by Jove. And
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 1: to share his observations with others, he went from group
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: to group. They were deploring Emma's death, LaRue, who had
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: not failed to come to the funeral, Poor little woman,
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 1: What a trouble for her husband, The druggist continued, do
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 1: you know that but for me he would have committed
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 1: some fatal attempt upon himself. Such a good woman. To
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 1: think that I saw her only last Saturday in my shop,
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 1: I haven't had leisure, said home, ase to prepare a
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 1: few words that I would have cast upon her tomb. Charles,
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 1: on getting home, undressed and old Ruo put on his
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 1: blue blouse. It was a new one, and as he
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: had often during the journey, wiped his eyes on the sleeves.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 1: The dye had stained his face, and the traces of
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 1: tears made lines in the layer of dust that covered it.
• 2:17:43
  Speaker 1: Madame Beauverit Senor was with them. All three were silent.
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 1: At last, the old fellow sighed, do you remember, my friend,
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 1: that I went to toasts. Once when you had just
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 1: lost your first deceased, I consoled you at that time.
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 1: I thought of something to say then. But now then,
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 1: with a loud groan that shook his whole chest, Ah,
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 1: this is the end for me. Do you see? I
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 1: saw my wife go, then my son, and now to
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 1: day it's my daughter. He wanted to go back at
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 1: once to Bertal, saying that he could not sleep in
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: this house. He even refused to see his granddaughter. No, no,
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 1: it would grieve me too much. Only you'll kiss her
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 1: many times for me. Good Bye. You're a good fellow,
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 1: And then I shall never forget that, he said, slapping
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 1: his thigh. Never fear, he shall always have your turkey.
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 1: But when he reached the top of the hill, he
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: turned back, as he had turned once before on the
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 1: road of Saint Victor, when he had parted from her.
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 1: The windows of the village were all on fire, beneath
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 1: the slanting rays of the sun sinking behind the field.
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 1: He put his hand over his eyes and saw in
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 1: the horizon an enclosure of walls, where trees here and
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 1: there formed black clusters between white stones. Then he went
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 1: on his way at a gentle trot, for his nag
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: had gone lame. Despite their fatigue, Charles and his mother
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 1: stayed very long that evening, talking together. They spoke of
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 1: the days of the past and of the future. She
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 1: would come to live at Yonville, she would keep house
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 1: for him. They would never part again. She was ingenious
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: and caressing, rejoicing in her heart at gaining once more
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 1: an affection that had wandered from her for so many years.
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 1: Midnight struck. The village, as usual, was silent, and Charles awake,
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 1: thought always of her. Rodolph, who to distract himself, had
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 1: been rambling about the wood all day, was sleeping quietly
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 1: in his chateau, and lyone down yonder always slept. There
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 1: was another who at that hour was not asleep. On
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 1: the grave between the pine trees, a child was on
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 1: his knees weeping, and his heart, rent by sobs, was
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 1: beating in the shadow beneath the load of an immense regret,
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 1: sweeter than the moon and fathomless as the night. The
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 1: gate suddenly grated, It was less to Budoy's. He came
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 1: to fetch his spade that he had forgotten. He recognized
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 1: justin climbing over the wall, and at last knew who
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 1: was the culprit who stole his potatoes Chapter eleven. The
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 1: next day Charles had the child brought back. She asked
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 1: for her mamma. They told her she was away, that
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 1: she would bring her back some playthings. Bert spoke of
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 1: her again several times, then at last thought no more
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 1: of her. The child's gayety broke Bovary's heart, and he
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 1: had to bear besides the intolerable consolations of the chemist.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 1: Money troubles soon began again. Monsieur LaRue urging on anew
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 1: his friend vin Cart, and Charles pledged himself for exorbitant sums,
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 1: for he would never consent to let the smallest of
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 1: the things that had belonged to her be sold. His
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 1: mother was exasperated with him. He grew even more angry
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: than she did. He had altogether changed. She left the house.
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: Then everyone began taking advantage of him. Mademoiselle Emperor presented
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 1: a bill for six months teaching, although Emma had never
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 1: taken a lesson, despite the receided bill she had shown Boverie.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 1: It was an arrangement between the two women. The men
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 1: at the circulating library demanded three year subscriptions. Mere Rowleet
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 1: claimed the postage due for some twenty letters, and when
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 1: Charles asked for an explanation, she had the delicacy to reply, oh,
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It was for her business affairs. With
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 1: every debt he paid, Charles thought he had come to
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 1: the end of them, but others followed ceaselessly. He sent
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 1: in accounts for professional attendance. He was shown the letters
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 1: his wife had written. Then he had to apologize felisite.
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 1: Now wore Madame Bovarie's gowns, not all, for he had
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 1: kept some of them, and he went to look look
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 1: at them in her dressing room, locking himself up. There
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 1: she was about her height and often. Charles, seeing her
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 1: from behind, was seized with an illusion and cried out, oh,
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 1: stay stay. But at whitsuntide she ran away from Yonville,
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 1: carried off by Theodore, stealing all that was left of
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 1: the wardrobe. It was about this time that the widow
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 1: Dupuis had the honor to inform him of the marriage
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 1: of Monsieur Leon Dupuy, her son notary at Ivetad, to
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 1: Mademoiselle leacherty Lebuf of Bondeville. Charles, among the other congratulations
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: he sent him, wrote this sentence, how glad my poor
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 1: wife would have been. One day, when wandering aimlessly about
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 1: the house, he had gone up to the attic. He
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 1: felt a pellet of fine paper under his slipper. He
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 1: opened it and read, Courage, Emma, courage, I would not
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 1: bring misery into your life. It was Rodolph's letter, fallen
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 1: to the ground between the boxes where it had remained,
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 1: and that the wind from the dormer window had just
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 1: blown towards the door, and Charles stood motionless and staring
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 1: in the very same place where long ago Emma, in
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 1: despair and paler even than he had thought of dying.
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 1: At last he discovered a small er at the bottom
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 1: of the second page. What did this mean? He remembered
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 1: Rodolph's attentions, his sudden disappearance, his constrained air when they
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: had met two or three times since. But the respectful
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 1: tone of the letter deceived him. Perhaps they loved one
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 1: another platonically, he said to himself. Besides, Charles was not
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 1: of those who go to the bottom of things. He
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 1: shrank from the proofs, and his vague jealousy was lost
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 1: in the immensity of his woe. Everyone, he thought, must
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 1: have adored her. All men assuredly must have coveted her.
• 2:23:50
  Speaker 1: She seemed but the more beautiful to him. For this
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: he was seized with a lasting, furious desire for her
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 1: that inflamed his despair, and that was boundless, because as
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: it was now unrealizable to please her, as if she
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 1: were still living, he adopted her predilections, her ideas. He
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 1: bought patent leather boots and took to wearing white cravats.
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 1: He put cosmetics on his mustache, and like her signed
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 1: notes of hand. She corrupted him from beyond the grave.
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 1: He was obliged to sell his silver piece by piece.
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 1: Next he sold the drawing room furniture. All the rooms
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 1: were stripped, but the bedroom, her own room, remained as before.
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 1: After his dinner, Charles went up there. He pushed the
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: round table in front of the fire and drew up
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 1: her arm chair. He sat down opposite it, a candle
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 1: burnt in one of the gilt candlesticks bared by his
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 1: side was painting prints. He suffered, poor man at seeing
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 1: her so badly dressed, with laceless boots and the armholes
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 1: of her pinafore torn down to the hips. For the
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 1: charwoman took no care of her. But she was so sweet,
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 1: so pretty, and her little head bent forward so gracefully,
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 1: letting the dear fair hair fall over her rosy cheeks,
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 1: that an infinite joy came upon him, a happiness mingled
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 1: with bitterness, like those ill made wines that taste of resin.
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 1: He mended her toys, made her puppets from cardboard, or
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 1: sewed up half torn dolls. Then if his eyes fell
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 1: upon the work box, a ribbon lying about, or even
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 1: a pin left in a crack of the table, he
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 1: began to dream and looked so sad that she became
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 1: as sad as he. No one now came to see them,
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 1: for Justin had run away to Ruan, where he was
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 1: a grocer's assistant, and the druggist's children saw less and
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 1: less of the child. Monsieur Hamece, not caring, seeing the
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 1: difference of their social position, to continue the intimacy. The
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 1: blind man, whom he had not been able to cure
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 1: with the pomade, had gone back to the hill of Boigiome,
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 1: where he told the travelers of the vain attempt of
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 1: the Druggist, to such an extent that Hamees went He
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 1: went to town, hid himself behind the curtains of the
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 1: Hirondell to avoid meeting him. He detested him, and, wishing
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 1: in the interests of his own reputation, to get rid
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 1: of him at all costs, he directed against him a
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 1: secret battery that betrayed the depth of his intellect and
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 1: the baseness of his vanity. Thus, for six consecutive months
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: one could read in the fatal de Ruan editorials such
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 1: as these, All who bend their steps towards the fertile
• 2:26:26
  Speaker 1: plains of Picardy have no doubt remarked by the boiggiom
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 1: hill or wretch suffering from a horrible facial wound, he importunes,
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 1: persecutes one, and Levy's irregular tax on all travelers. Are
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 1: we still living in the monstrous times of the Middle Ages,
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 1: when vagabonds were permitted to display in our public places
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 1: leprosy and scrofulous they had brought back from the Crusades,
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 1: Or in spite of the laws against vagabondage, the approaches
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 1: to our great towns continue to be infected by bands
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 1: of beggars. Some are seen going on about alone, and
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 1: these are not perhaps the least dangerous. What are our
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 1: e diyals about. Then Hames invented anecdotes Yesterday by the
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 1: boggy young Hill a skittish horse, and then followed the
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 1: story of an accident caused by the presence of the
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 1: blind man. He managed so well that the fellow was
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 1: locked up, but he was released. He began again, and
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 1: Hamas began again. It was a struggle. Hamas won it,
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 1: for his foe was condemned to life long confinement in
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 1: an asylum. This success emboldened him, and henceforth there was
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 1: no longer a dog run over, a barn burnt down,
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 1: a woman beaten in the parish of which he did
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 1: not immediately inform the public. Guided always by the love
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 1: of progress and the hate of priests, he instituted comparisons
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 1: between the elementary and clerical schools, to the detriment of
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 1: the latter, called to mind the massacre of Saint Bartholomew,
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 1: a propos of a grant of one hundred francs to
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 1: the church, and denounced abuses, aired new views. That was
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 1: his phrase. Haw Mace was digging and delving. He was
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 1: becoming dangerous. However, he was stifling in the narrow limits
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: of journalism, and soon a book, a work was necessary
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 1: to him. Then he composed general statistics of the Canton
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 1: of Yanville, followed by climatological remarks. The statistics drove him
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 1: to philosophy. He busied himself with great questions, the social problem,
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 1: moralization of the poorer classes, pisticulture, koutchuk, railways, et cetera.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 1: He even began to blush at being a bourgeois. He
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 1: affected the artistic style he smoked. He bought two Sheikh
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 1: Pompadour statuettes to adorn his drawing room. He by no
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 1: means gave up his shop. On the contrary, he kept
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 1: well abreast of new discoveries. He followed the great movement
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 1: of chocolates. He was the first to introduce cocoa and
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 1: revalenta into the Saint Inferyer. He was enthusiastic about the
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 1: hydroelectric pulvermacher chains. He wore one himself, and when at
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 1: night he took off his flannel vest, Madam Hammes stood
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 1: quite dazzled before the golden spiral beneath which he was hidden,
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 1: and felt her ardor redouble. For this man, more bandaged
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 1: than a Scythian, and splendid as one of the magi.
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 1: He had fine ideas about Emma's tomb. First he proposed
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 1: a broken column with some drapery next to pyramid, then
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 1: a temple of vesta, a sort of rotunda, or else
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 1: a mass of ruins. And in all his plans Hawmace
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 1: always stuck to the weeping willow, which he looked upon
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 1: as the indispensable symbol of sorrow. Charles and he made
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 1: a journey to Ruan together to look at some tombs
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 1: at a funeral furnisher's, accompanied by an artist, one Vafferlard,
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 1: a friend of Brideuus, who made puns all the time.
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 1: At last, after having examined some hundred designs, having ordered
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 1: an estimate, and made another journey to Ruan, Charles decided
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 1: in favor of a mausoleum, which, on the two principal
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 1: sides was to have a spirit bearing an extinguished torch.
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: As to the inscription, Hames could think of nothing so
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 1: fine as Sta Viator twenty three, and he got no further.
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 1: He racked his brain, he constantly repeated Sta Viator. At
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 1: last he hit upon a mabelein conjugum calcass twenty four,
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 1: which was adopted twenty three rest traveler twenty four tread
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 1: upon a loving wife. A strange thing was that Bovary,
• 2:30:34
  Speaker 1: while continually thinking of Emma, was forgetting her. He grew
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 1: desperate as he felt this image fading from his memory
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 1: in spite of all efforts to retain it. Yet every
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 1: night he dreamt of her. It was always the same dream.
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 1: He drew near her, but when he was about to
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 1: clasp her, she fell into decay in his arms. For
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 1: a week he was seen going to church in the evening.
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 1: Monsieur Bernicion even paid him two or three visits, then
• 2:31:01
  Speaker 1: gave him up Moreover, the old fellow was growing intolerant, fanatic,
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 1: said hamas he thundered against the spirit of the age,
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 1: and never failed every other week in his sermon to
• 2:31:14
  Speaker 1: recount the death agony of Voltaire, who died devouring his excrements.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 1: As everyone knows, in spite of the economy with which
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 1: Bovary lived, he was far from being able to pay
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 1: off his old debts. Loru refused to renew any more bills.
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 1: A distraint became imminent. Then he appealed to his mother,
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 1: who consented to let him take a mortgage on her property,
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: but with a great many recriminations against Emma, and in
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 1: return for her sacrifice, she asked for a shawl that
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 1: had escaped the depredations of felisite. Charles refused to give
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 1: it her. They quarreled. She made the first overtures of
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 1: reconciliation by offering to have the little girl who could
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 1: help her in the house to live with her. Charles
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 1: consented to this, but when the time for parting came,
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 1: all his courage failed him. Then there was a final
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 1: complete rupture. As his affections vanished, he clung more closely
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 1: to the love of his child. She made him anxious, however,
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 1: for she coughed sometimes and had read spots on her cheeks.
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 1: Opposite his house, flourishing and merry was the family of
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 1: the chemist, with whom everything was prospering. Napoleon helped him
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 1: in the laboratory. Athlee embroidered him a skull cap irma
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 1: cut out rounds of paper to cover the preserves, and
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 1: Franklin recited Pythagorea's table in a breath. He was the
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 1: happiest of fathers, the most fortunate of men. Not so
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 1: a secret ambition devoured him. Hawmse hankered after the cross
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 1: of the legion of honor. He had plenty of claims
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 1: to it, first having, at the time of the Cholerat
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 1: distinguished myself by a boundless devotion. Second by having published,
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 1: at my expensevarious works of public utility, such as and
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 1: he recalled his pamphlet entitled Cider, Its Manufacture and Effects.
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 1: Besides observation on the linigerous plant, Louse sent to the
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 1: Academy his volume of statistics and down to his pharmaceutical thesis.
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 1: Without counting that I am a member of several learned societies,
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 1: he was member of a single one. In short, he
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 1: cried making a pirouet. If it were only for distinguishing
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 1: myself at fires, then hamees inclined towards the government. He
• 2:33:32
  Speaker 1: secretly did the Prefect great service. During the elections, he
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 1: sold himself, in a word, prostituted himself. He even addressed
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 1: a petition to the sovereign in which he implored him
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 1: to due him justice. He called him our good king
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 1: and compared him to Honrifort. And every morning the druggist
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 1: rushed for the paper to see if his nomination were
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 1: in it. It was never there at last, unable to
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 1: bear it any longer. He had a grass plot in
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 1: his garden designed to represent the star of the Cross
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 1: of Honor, with two little strips of grass running from
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 1: the top to imitate the rib band. He walked round
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 1: it with folded arms, meditating on the folly of the
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: government and the ingratitude of men, from respect or from
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 1: a sort of sensuality that made him carry on his
• 2:34:19
  Speaker 1: investigations slowly. Charles had not yet opened the secret drawer
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 1: of a rosewood desk, which Emma had generally used. One day, however,
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 1: he sat down before it, turned the key and pressed
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 1: the spring. All Lyon's letters were there. There could be
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 1: no doubt. This time he devoured them to the very last,
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 1: ransacked every corner, all the furniture, all the drawers, behind
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 1: the walls, sobbing, crying aloud, distraught, mad, he found a
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 1: box and broke it open with a kick. Rodolph's portrait
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 1: flew full in his face in the midst of the
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 1: overturned love letters. People wondered at his despondency. He never
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 1: went out, saw no one, refused even to visit his patients.
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 1: Then they said he shut himself up to drink. Sometimes. However,
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 1: some curious person climbed onto the garden hedge and saw
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 1: with amazement this long bearded, shabbily clothed wild man, who
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 1: wept aloud as he walked up and down in the evening.
• 2:35:21
  Speaker 1: In summer, he took his little girl with him and
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 1: led her to the cemetery. They came back at nightfall,
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 1: when the only light left in the place was that
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 1: in Benet's window. The voluptuousness of his grief was, however, incomplete,
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 1: for he had no one near him to share it,
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 1: and he paid visits to Madame la Francois to be
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 1: able to speak of her, But the landlady only listened
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 1: with half an ear, having troubles like himself, for Lrue
• 2:35:47
  Speaker 1: had at last established the favorites due commerce, and Hibbert,
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 1: who enjoyed a great reputation for doing errands, insisted on
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 1: a rise of wages and was threatening to go over
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 1: to the opposition shop. One day, when he had gone
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 1: to the market at Argwyle to sell his horse, his
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 1: last resource, he met Rodolph. They both turned pale when
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 1: they caught sight of one another. Rodolf, who had only
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 1: sent his card, first stammered some apologies, then grew bolder
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 1: and even pushed his assurance. It was in the month
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 1: of August and very hot, to the length of inviting
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 1: him to have a bottle of beer at the public house.
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 1: Leaning on the table opposite him, he chewed his cigar
• 2:36:28
  Speaker 1: as he talked, and Charles was lost in reverie at
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 1: this face that she had loved. He seemed to see
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 1: again something of her in it. It was a marvel
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 1: to him. He would have liked to have been this man.
• 2:36:41
  Speaker 1: The other went on talking agriculture, cattle, pasturage, filling out
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 1: with banal phrases, all the gaps where an illusion might
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 1: slip in. Charles was not listening to him. Rodolph noticed it,
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 1: and he followed the succession of memories that crossed his face.
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 1: This gradually grew redder, the nostrils throbbed fast, the lips quivered.
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 1: There was at last a moment when Charles, full of
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 1: a somber fury, fixed his eyes on Rodolf, who, in
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 1: something of fear, stopped talking. But soon the same look
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 1: of weary lassitude came back to his face. I don't
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 1: blame you, he said. Rodolph was dumb, and Charles, his
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 1: head in his hands, went on in a broken voice
• 2:37:24
  Speaker 1: and with the resigned accent of infinite sorrow. No, I
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 1: don't blame you now. He even added a fine phrase,
• 2:37:31
  Speaker 1: the only one he ever made. It is the fault
• 2:37:34
  Speaker 1: of fatality. Rodolf, who had managed the fatality, thought the
• 2:37:38
  Speaker 1: remark very offhand from a man in his position, comic even,
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 1: and a little mien. The next day, Charles went to
• 2:37:45
  Speaker 1: sit down on the seat in the arbor. Rays of
• 2:37:48
  Speaker 1: light were straying through the trellis, the vine leaves through
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 1: their shadows on the sand. The jasmines perfumed the air.
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 1: The heavens were blue, Spanish flies buzzed round, the lilies
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 1: in bloom, and Charles was suffocating like a youth beneath
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 1: the vague love influences that filled his aching heart. At
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock, Littlebert, who had not seen him all the afternoon,
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 1: went to fetch him to dinner. His head was thrown
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 1: back against the wall, his eyes closed, his mouth open,
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 1: and in his hand was a long tress of black hair.
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 1: Come along, Papa, she said, and thinking he wanted to play,
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 1: she pushed him gently. He fell to the ground. He
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 1: was dead thirty six hours after. At the druggist's request,
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 1: Monsieur Cannevett came thither. He made a post mortem and
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 1: found nothing. When everything had been sold, twelve francs seventy
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 1: five sautines remained that served to pay for Mademoiselle Bovarie's
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 1: going to her grandmother. The good Woman died the same
• 2:38:49
  Speaker 1: year bold Rua was paralyzed, and it was an aunt
• 2:38:52
  Speaker 1: who took charge of her. She is poor and sends
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 1: her to a cotton factory to earn a living. Since
• 2:38:59
  Speaker 1: Boverie's death, three doctors have followed one another at Janville
• 2:39:02
  Speaker 1: without any success. So severely did Homese attack them. He
• 2:39:07
  Speaker 1: has an enormous practice. The authorities treat him with consideration,
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 1: and public opinion protects him. He has just received the
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 1: Cross of the Legion of Honor. The end. Thanks for listening.
