     ;I have thought it over。; 

     ;Thought it over�拭─�

     ;Well�察�I am getting lonesome for my little one and for my husband。; 

     ;In the last ten minutes�拭─�exclaimed George。 

     ;There must be something else�察─�his mother added。                 ;Evidently there 

must be something else。; 

     ;No� ─�insisted the nurse。 

     ;But I say yes� ─�

     ;Well�察�I'm afraid the air of Paris might not be good for me。; 

     ;You had better wait and try it。; 

     ;I would rather go back at once to my home。; 

     ;Come�察�now�察─�cried Madame Dupont�察 �tell us why�拭─�

     ;I have told you。      I have thought it over。; 

     ;Thought what over�拭─�

     ;Well�察�I have thought。; 

     ;Oh�察─�cried the mother�察 �what a stupid reply�             �'I have thought it over� �

I have thought it over��'       Thought WHAT over�察�I want to know� ─�

     ;Well�察�everything。; 

     ;Don't you know how to tell us what�拭─�

     ;I tell you�察�everything。; 

     ;Why�察─�exclaimed Madame Dupont�察 �you are an imbecile� ─�

     George   stepped   between his   mother   and   the   nurse。       ;Let   me   talk   to 

her�察─�he said。 

     The woman came back to her old formula�此                 �I know that we're only 

poor country people。; 

     ;Listen to me�察�nurse�察─�said the young man。              ;Only a little while ago 

you were afraid that we would send you away。                 You were satisfied with 

the   wages   which   my  mother   had   fixed。      In   addition   to   those   wages   we 

had   promised   you   a   good sum   when   you   returned   to   your   home。      Now 

you   tell   us   that   you   want   to   go   away。 You   see�拭 �All   at   once。  There 

must   be   some   reason�察  �let   us   understand   it。  There   must   certainly   be   a 

reason。     Has anybody done anything to you�拭─�

     ;No�察�sir�察─�said the woman�察�dropping her eyes。 

     ;Well�察�then�拭─�

     ;I have thought it over。; 

     George   burst   out�察   �Don't   go   on   repeating   always   the   same   thing   'I 

have thought it over��'      That's not telling us anything。; Controlling himself�察�

he added�察�gently�察 �Come�察�tell me why you want to go away�拭─�

     There was a silence。       ;Well�拭─�he demanded。 

     ;I tell you�察�I have thought; 

     George exclaimed in despair�察 �It's as if one were talking to a block of 

wood� ─�

     His mother took up the conversation again。              ;You must realize�察  �you 

have not the right to go away。; 

     The woman answered�察 �I WANT to go。; 

     ;But I will not let you leave us。; 

     ;No�察─  �interrupted   George   angrily�察   �let   her   go�察  �we   cannot   fasten   her 

here。; 

     ;Very well�察�then�察─�cried the exasperated mother�察 �since you want to go�察�

go�    �But I have certainly the right to say to you that you are as stupid as 

the animals on your farm� ─�

     ;I don't say that I am not�察─�answered the woman。 

     ;I will not pay you the month which has just begun�察�and you will pay 

your railroad fare for yourself。; 

     The other drew back with a look of anger。              ;Oho� ─�she cried。 ;We'll 

see about that� ─�

     ;Yes�察�we'll see about it� ─�cried George。         ;And you will get out of here 

at once。     Take yourself offI will have no more to do with you。                Good 

evening。; 

     ;No�察  �George�察─  �protested   his   mother�察   �don't   lose   control   of   yourself。; 

And then�察�with a great effort at calmness�察 �That cannot be serious�察�nurse� �

Answer me。; 

     ;I would rather go off right away to my home�察�and only have my five 

hundred francs。; 

     ;WHAT�拭─�cried George�察�in consternation。 

     ;What's that you are telling me�拭─�exclaimed Madame Dupont。 

     ;Five hundred francs�拭─�repeated her son。 

     ;What five hundred francs�拭─�echoed the mother。

     ;The five hundred francs you promised me�察─�said the nurse。 

     ;We have promised you five hundred francs�拭              �WE�拭─�

     ;Yes。; 

     ;When the child should be weaned�察�and if we should be satisfied with 

you�    �That was our promise。; 

     ;No。     You   said   you   would   give   them   to   me   when   I   was   leaving。 

Now I am leaving�察�and I want them。; 

     Madame Dupont drew herself up�察�haughtily。               ;In the first place�察─�she 

said�察   �kindly    oblige   me   by   speaking    to  me   in  another    tone�察  �do  you 

understand�拭─�

     The    woman     answered�察     �You   have    nothing   to  do   but  give   me   my 

money�察�and I will say nothing more。; 

     George   went   almost   beside   himself   with   rage   at   this。 ;Oh�察  �it's   like 

that�拭─  �he   shouted。   ;Very   well�察  �I'll   show   you� ─  �And   he   sprang   to   the 

door and opened it。 

     But the nurse never budged。          ;Give me my five hundred francs� ─�she 

said。 

     George seized her by the arm and shoved her toward the door。 ;You 

clear out of here�察�do you understand me�拭           �And as quickly as you can� ─�

     The woman shook her arm loose�察�and sneered into his face。                    ;Come 

now�察�youyou can talk to me a little more politely�察�eh�拭─�

     ;Will   you   go�拭─  �shouted   George�察  �completely   beside   himself。       ;Will 

you go�察�or must I go out and look for a policeman�拭─�

     ;A policeman� ─�demanded the woman。               ;For what�拭─�

     ;To put you outside�       �You are behaving yourself like a thief。; 

     ;A thief�拭    �I�拭  �What do you mean�拭─�

     ;I mean that you are demanding money which doesn't belong to you。; 

     ;More than that�察─�broke in Madame Dupont�察 �you are destroying that 

poor little baby�     �You are a wicked woman� ─�

     ;I will put you out myself� ─�shouted George�察�and seized her by the arm 

again。 

     ;Oh�察�it's like that�察�is it�拭─�retorted the nurse。      ;Then you really want me 

to tell you why I am going away�拭─�

     ;Yes�察�tell me� ─�cried he。

     His mother added�察 �Yes�察�yes� ─�

     She would have spoken differently had she chanced to look behind her 

and   seen   Henriette�察  �who   at that   moment   appeared in the   doorway。           She 

had been about to go out�察�when her attention had been caught by the loud 

voices。     She   stood now�察  �amazed�察  �clasping   her   hands together�察  �while   the 

nurse�察�shaking her fist first at Madame Dupont and then at her son�察�cried 

loudly�察 �Very well�        �I'm going away because I don't want to catch a filthy 

disease here� ─�

     ;HUSH� ─  �cried   Madame   Dupont�察  �and   sprang   toward   her�察  �her   hands 

clenched as if she would choke her。 

     ;Be silent� ─�cried George�察�wild with terror。 

     But the woman rushed on without dropping her voice�察 �Oh�察�you need 

not   be   troubling   yourselves   for   fear   anyone   should   overhear�        �All   the 

world knows it�        �Your other servants were listening with me at your door� �

They heard every word your doctor said� ─�

     ;Shut up� ─�screamed George。 

     Her    mother     seized   the   woman     fiercely    by  the   arm。    ;Hold     your 

tongue� ─�she hissed。 

     But again the other shook herself loose。             She was powerful�察�and now 

her    rage  was    not  to  be   controlled。    She     waved    her   hands   in  the   air�察�

shouting�察 �Let me be�察�let me be�           �I know all about your bratthat you will

disease he got from a woman of the street� ─�

     She   got   no   farther。   She   was   interrupted   by   a   frenzied   shriek   from 

Henriette。     The three turned�察�horrified�察�just in time to see her fall forward 

upon the floor�察�convulsed。 

     ;My God� ─�cried George。            He sprang toward her�察�and tried to lift her�察�

but she shrank from him�察�repelling him with a gesture of disgust�察�of hatred�察�

of   the   most   profound   terror。    ;Don't   touch   me� ─  �she   screamed�察  �like   a 

maniac。      ;Don't touch me� ─�

                               CHAPTER V 



     It was in vain that Madame Dupont sought to control her daughter´ in´ 

law。    Henriette   was   beside   herself�察  �frantic�察  �she   could   not   be   brought   to 

listen   to   any  one。  She   rushed   into   the   other   room�察  �and   when   the   older 

woman followed her�察�shrieked out to be left alone。               Afterwards�察�she fled 

to her own room and barred herself in�察�and George and his mother waited 

distractedly for hours until she should give some sign。 

     Would she kill herself�察�perhaps�拭         �Madame Dupont hovered on guard 

about the door of the nursery for fear that the mother in her fit of insanity 

might attempt some harm to her child。 

     The nurse had slunk away abashed when she saw the consequences of 

her   outburst。    By   the   time   she   had   got   her   belongings   packed�察  �she   had 

recovered her assurance。         She wanted her five hundred�察�also she wanted 

her wages and her railroad fare home。            She wanted them at once�察�and she 

would not leave until she got them。           George and his mother�察�in the midst 

of all their anguish of mind�察�had to go through a disgusting scene with this 

coarse and angry woman。
