;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
never be able to raise itthat it's rotten because it's father has a filthy
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。
