     The   doctor   paused�察  �and   then   in   a   solemn   voice   continued�此     �I   have 

told you all�察�without exaggeration。           Think it over。      Consider the pros and 

cons�察  �sum   up     the   possible   misfortunes     and    the   certain  miseries。    But 

disregard yourself�察�and consider that there are in one side of the scales the 

misfortunes of others�察�and in the other your own。                 Take care that you are 

just。; 

     George   was   at   last   overcome。      ;Very   well�察─  �he   said�察   �I   give   way。   I 

won't   get   married。     I   will   invent   some   excuse�察  �I   will   get   a   delay  of   six 

months。      More than that�察�I cannot do。; 

     The doctor exclaimed�察 �I need three yearsI need four years� ─�

     ;No�察�Doctor� ─�persisted George。             ;You can cure me in less time than 

that。;

     The other answered�察 �No�          �No�     �No� ─�

     George caught him by the hand�察�imploringly。                ;Yes�     �Science in all 

powerful� ─�

     ;Science     is  not  God�察─   �was    the  reply。   ;There     are  no   longer   any 

miracles。; 

     ;If only you wanted to do it� ─�cried the young man�察�hysterically。 ;You 

are a learned man�察�seek�察�invent�察�find something�             �Try some new plan with 

me�察�give me double the dose�察�ten times the does�察�make me suffer。                   I give 

myself up to you�察�I will endure everythingI swear it�              �There ought to be 

some way to cure me within six months。              Listen to me�      �I tell you I can't 

answer for myself with that delay。          Come�察�it is in the name of my wife�察�in 

the name of my children�察�that I implore you。             Do something for them� ─�

     The doctor had reached the limit of his patience。               ;Enough�察�sir� ─�he 

cried。    ;Enough� ─�

     But nothing could stop the wretched man。             ;On my knees� ─        �he cried。 

;I put myself on my knees before you�             �Oh�     �If only you would do it�        �I 

would     bless   you�察  �I  would   adore    you�察 �as  one   adores    a  god�   �All    my

something�察�invent something�察�make some discoveryhave pity� ─�

     The   doctor   answered   gravely�察   �Do   you   wish   me   to   do   more   for   you 

than for the others�拭─�

     George   answered�察  �unblushingly�察  �'answered�察  �unblushingly�察   �Yes� ─  �He 

was beside himself with terror and distress。 

     The  other's   reply  was   delivered   in   a  solemn   tone。   ;Understand�察 �sir�察�

for   every   one   of   out   patients   we   do   all   that   we   can�察  �whether   it   be   the

secrets in reserve for those who are more fortunate�察�or less fortunate than 

the others�察�and who are in a hurry to be cured。; 

     George gazed at him for a moment in bewilderment and despair�察�and 

then suddenly bowed his head。           ;Good´by�察�Doctor�察─�he answered。 

     ;Au revoir�察�sir�察─�the other correctedwith what proved to be prophetic 

understanding。       For George was destined to see him againeven though 

he had made up his mind to the contrary� �

                               CHAPTER III 



     George   Dupont   had   the   most important decision of   his   life   to   make�察�

but there was never very much doubt what his decision would be。                        One 

the one hand was the definite certainty that if he took the doctor's advice�察�

he would wreck his business prospects�察�and perhaps also lose the woman 

he    loved。   On     the  other   hand    were   vague    and   uncertain    possibilities 

which   it   was   difficult   for   him   to   make   real   to   himself。 It   was   all   very 

well to wait a while to be cured of the dread disease�察�but to wait three or 

four years that was simply preposterous� �

     He decided to consult another physician。             He would find one this time 

who   would      not   be   so  particular�察 �who   would     be   willing   to  take  some 

trouble    to  cure   him    quickly。    He    began    to  notice   the   advertisements 

which were scattered over the pages of the newspapers he read。                       There 

were apparently plenty of doctors in Paris who could cure him�察�who were 

willing to guarantee   to cure him。          After   much hesitation�察 �he picked   out 

one whose advertisement sounded the most convincing。 

     The office was located in a cheap quarter。              It was a dingy place�察�not 

encumbered with   works of   art�察�but   with   a few   books covered   with dust。 

The   doctor   himself   was   stout   and   greasy�察  �and   he   rubbed   his   hands   with 

anticipation at the sight of so prosperous´looking a patient。                 But he was 

evidently a man of experience�察�for he knew exactly what was the matter 

with   George�察  �almost   without   the   formality   of   an   examination。       Yes�察  �he 

could     cure   him�察   �quickly�察   �he   said。   There      had   recently    been    great 

discoveries   madenew   methods   which   had   not   reached   the   bulk   of   the 

profession。      He laughed at the idea of three or four years。 That was the 

way with those specialists�         �When one got forty francs for a consultation�察�

naturally�察  �one   was   glad   to   drag   out   the   case。 There   were   tricks   in   the 

medical trade�察�as in all others。         A doctor had to live�察�when he had a big 

name�察�he had to live expensively。 

     The new physician wrote out two prescriptions�察�and patted George on 

the shoulder as he went away。            There was no need for him to worry�察�he 

would surely be well in three months。              If he would put off his marriage 

for   six   months�察   �he   would    be   doing    everything     within   reason。     And 



                                               39

meantime�察  �there   was   no   need   for   him   to   worry   himselfthings   would 

come out all right。        So George went away�察�feeling as if a mountain had 

been lifted from his shoulders。 

     He went to see Henriette that same evening�察�to get the matter settled。 

;Henriette�察─     �he   said�察  �I  have    to  tell  you    something     very    important 

something rather painful。          I hope you won't let it disturb you too much。; 

     She was gazing at him in alarm。            ;What is it�拭─�

     ;Why�察─�he said�察�blushing in spite of himself�察�and regretting that he had 

begun   the   matter   so   precipitately�察   �for   some   time   I've   not   been   feeling 

quite well。     I've been having a slight cough。           Have you noticed it�拭─�

     ;Why no� ─�exclaimed Henriette�察�anxiously。 

     ;Well�察   �today    I  went    to  see  a  doctor�察   �and   he   says   that  there   is  a 

possibilityyou   understand   it   is   nothing   very   seriousbut   it   might   beI 

might possibly have lung trouble。; 

     ;George� ─�cried the girl in horror。 

     He put his hand upon hers。            ;Don't be frightened�察─�he said。           ;It will 

be all right�察�only I have to take care of myself。;            How very dear of her�察�he 

thoughtto be so much worried� �

     ;George�察�you ought to go away to the country� ─�she cried。                   ;You have 

been working too hard。           I always told you that if you shut yourself up so 

much; 

     ;I   am   going   to   take   care   of   myself�察─  �he   said。 ;I   realize   that   it   is 

necessary。      I shall be all rightthe doctor assured me there was no doubt 

of   it�察  �so  you   are   not   to   distress   yourself。 But   meantime�察  �here   is   the 

trouble�此    �I   don't  think   it  would    be   right  for   me   to  marry    until  I  am 

perfectly well。; 

     Henriette gave an exclamation of dismay。 

     ;I am sure we should put it off�察─�he went on�察 �it would be only fair to 

you。; 

     ;But�察�George� ─�she protested。           ;Surely it can't be that serious� ─�

     ;We   ought   to   wait�察─  �he   said。  ;You   ought   not   to   take   the   chance   of 

being married to a consumptive。; 

     The     other   protested     in  consternation。       He     did   not   look    like  a 

consumptive�察�she did not believe that he WAS a consumptive。                        She was 



                                                40

willing to take her chances。          She loved him�察�and she was not afraid。             But 

George insistedhe was sure that he ought not to marry for six months。 

     ;Did the doctor advise that�拭─�asked Henriette。 

     ;No�察─�he replied�察 �but I made up my mind after talking to him that I 

must   do   the   fair   and   honorable   thing。   I   beg   you   to   forgive   me�察  �and   to 

believe that I know best。; 

     George stood firmly by this position�察�and so in the end she had to give 

way。     It did not seem quite modest in her to continue persisting。 

     George   volunteered   to  write  a  letter to her  father�察  �and   he  hoped   this 

would   settle   the   matter   without   further   discussion。      But   in   this   he   was 

disappointed。        There      had   to   be   a   long    correspondence        with   long 

arguments   and   protestations   from   Henriette's   father   and   from   his   own 

mother。      It   seemed
