about Lizette。      Finally he told about Henriette�察�how much he adored her。 

He could really use such a wordhe loved her most tenderly。                  She was so 

goodand he had thought himself so lucky� �

     As   he   went   on�察 �he   could   hardly  keep   from   going   to   pieces。  ;I   had 

everything�察─�he exclaimed�察 �everything a man needed�                  �All who knew me 

envied   me。      And   then   I   had   to   let   those   fellows   drag   me   off   to   that 

miserable supper´party�          �And now here I am�          �My future is ruined�察�my 

whole existence poisoned�           �What is to become of me�拭            �Everybody will 

avoid meI shall be a pariah�察�a leper� ─�

     He   paused�察  �and   then   in   sudden   wild   grief   exclaimed�察   �Come�察  �now� �

Would it not be better that I should take myself out of the way�拭�At least�察�I 

should   not   suffer   any   more。    You   see   that   there   could   not   be   any   one 

more   unhappy   than   myselfnot   any   one�察  �I   tell   you�察  �sir�察  �not   any   one� ─�

Completely overcome�察�he began to weep in his handkerchief。 

     The doctor got up�察�and went to him。             ;You must be a man�察─�he said�察�

;and not cry like a child。; 

     ;But sir�察─�cried the young man�察�with tears running down his cheeks�察 �if 

I had led a wild life�察�if I had passed my time in dissipation with chorus 

girls�察�then I could understand it。        Then I would say that I had deserved it。; 

     The doctor exclaimed with emphasis�察 �No�察�no�                �You would not say it。 

However�察�it is of no mattergo on。; 

     ;I tell you that I would say it。       I am honest�察�and I would say that I had 

deserved it。      But no�察�I have worked�察�I have been a regular grind。                  And 

now�察  �when   I   think   of   the   shame   that   is   in   store   for   me�察  �the   disgusting

things�察�the frightful catastrophes to which I am condemned; 

     ;What is all this you are telling me�拭─�asked the doctor�察�laughing。 

     ;Oh�察�I know�察�I know� ─�cried the other�察�and repeated what his friend had 

told   him   about   the   man   in   a   wheel´chair。    ;And   they   used   to   call   me 

handsome Raoul�          �That was my namehandsome Raoul� ─�

     ;Now�察  �my dear sir�察─�said the doctor�察�cheerfully�察 �wipe your eyes   one 

last   time�察  �blow   your   nose�察  �put   your   handkerchief   into   your   pocket�察  �and 

hear me dry´eyed。; 

     George obeyed mechanically。             ;But I give you fair warning�察─�he said�察�

;you are wasting your time。; 

     ;I tell you; began the other。 

     ;I know exactly what you are going to tell me� ─�cried George。 

     ;Well�察  �in   that   case�察  �there   is   nothing more   for   you   to   do   here   run 

along。; 

     ;Since I am here�察─�said the patient submissively�察 �I will hear you。; 

     ;Very     well�察  �then。   I   tell  you   that   if  you   have    the  will   and   the 

perseverance�察�none of the things you fear will happen to you。; 

     ;Of course�察�it is your duty to tell me that。; 

     ;I will tell you that there are one hundred thousand like you in Paris�察�

alert�察�and seemingly well。         Come�察�take what you were just sayingwheel´ 

chairs。    One doesn't see so many of them。; 

     ;No�察�that's true�察─�said George。 

     ;And   besides�察─  �added   the   doctor�察   �a   good   many   people   who   ride   in 

them are not there for the cause you think。             There is no more reason why 

you   should   be   the   victim   of   a   catastrophe   than   any   of   the   one   hundred 

thousand。      The disease is serious�察�nothing more。; 

     ;You admit that it is a serious disease�拭─�argued George。 

     ;Yes。; 

     ;One of the most serious�拭─�

     ;Yes�察�but you have the good fortune; 

     ;The GOOD fortune�拭─�

     ;Relatively�察�if you please。         You have the good fortune to be infected 

with one of the diseases over which we have the most certain control。; 

     ;Yes�察  �yes�察─  �exclaimed   George�察   �but   the   remedies   are   worse   than   the

disease。; 

     ;You deceive yourself�察─�replied the other。 

     ;You are trying to make me believe that I can be cured�拭─�

     ;You can be。; 

     ;And that I am not condemned�拭─�

     ;I swear it to you。; 

     ;You are not deceiving yourself�察�you are not deceiving me�拭                  �Why�察�I 

was told; 

     The doctor laughed�察�contemptuously。             ;You were told�察�you were told� �

I'll wager that you know the laws of the Chinese concerning party´walls。; 

     ;Yes�察�naturally�察─�said George。         ;But I don't see what they have to do 

with it。; 

     ;Instead of teaching   you   such things�察─  �was   the  reply�察  �it   would   have 

been a great deal better to have taught you about the nature and cause of 

diseases   of   this   sort。  Then   you   would   have   known   how   to   avoid   the 

contagion。      Such knowledge should be spread abroad�察�for it is the most 

important      knowledge      in   the   world。     It  should     be   found    in  every 

newspaper。; 

     This   remark   gave   George   something   of   a   shock�察  �for   his   father   had 

owned a little paper in the provinces�察�and he had a sudden vision of the 

way subscribers would have fallen off�察�if he had printed even so much as 

the name of this vile disease。 

     ;And yet�察─�pursued the doctor�察 �you publish romances about adultery� ─�

     ;Yes�察─�said George�察 �that's what the readers want。; 

     ;They   don't   want   the   truth   about   venereal   diseases�察─  �exclaimed   the 

other。    ;If   they   knew    the  full  truth�察 �they   would    no  longer    think  that 

adultery was romantic and interesting。; 

     He   went   on   to   give   his   advice  as   to  the   means   of   avoiding  such 

diseases。     There     was   really  but   one   rule。  It   was�此  �To    love   but   one 

woman�察�to take her as a virgin�察�and to love her so much that she would 

never deceive you。        ;Take that from me�察─�added the doctor�察 �and teach it 

to your son�察�when you have one。; 

     George's attention was caught by this last sentence。 

     ;You mean that I shall be able to have children�拭─�he cried。

     ;Certainly�察─�was the reply。 

     ;Healthy children�拭─�

     ;I repeat it to you�察�if you take care of yourself properly for a long time�察�

conscientiously�察�you have little to fear。; 

     ;That's certain�拭─�

     ;Ninety´nine times out of a hundred。; 

     George felt   as if he had suddenly emerged   from a   dungeon。              ;Why�察�

then�察─�he exclaimed�察 �I shall be able to marry� ─�

     ;You will be able to marry�察─�was the reply。 

     ;You are not deceiving me�拭          �You would not give me that hope�察�you 

would not expose me�拭         �How soon will I be able to marry�拭─�

     ;In three or four years�察─�said the doctor。 

     ;What� ─�cried George in consternation。             ;In three or four years�拭�Not 

before�拭─�

     ;Not before。; 

     ;How is that�拭      �Am I going to be sick all that time�拭          �Why�察�you told 

me just now; 

     Said   the   doctor�此   �The   disease   will   no   longer   be   dangerous   to   you�察�

yourselfbut you will be dangerous to others。; 

     ;But�察─�the young man cried�察�in despair�察 �I am to be married a month 

from now。; 

     ;That is impossible。; 

     ;But I cannot do any differently。         The contract is ready�        �The banns 

have been published�        �I have given my word� ─�

     ;Well�察�you are a great one� ─�the doctor laughed。             ;Just now you were 

looking     for  your   revolver�    �Now     you   want    to  be  married    within   the 

month。; 

     ;But�察�Doctor�察�it is necessary� ─�

     ;But I forbid it。; 

     ;As soon as I knew that the disease is not what I imagined�察�and that I 

could be cured�察�naturally I didn't want to commit suicide。 And as soon as I 

make up my mind not to commit suicide�察�I have to take up my regular life。 

I have to keep my engagements�察�I have to get married。; 

     ;No�察─�said the doctor。

     ;Yes�察�yes� ─�persisted George�察�with blind obstinacy。                  ;Why�察�Doctor�察�if 

I  didn't   marry  it   would be   a  disaster。     You   are   talking   about   something 

you   don't   understand。       I�察  �for   my   partit   is   not   that   I   am   anxious   to   be 

married。      As   I   told   you�察  �I   had   almost   a   second   family。  Lizette's   little 

brothers adored me。 But it is my aunt�察�an old maid�察�and�察�also�察�my mother is 

crazy about the idea。         If I were to back out now�察�she would die of chagrin。 

My   aunt   would   disinherit   me�察  �and   she   is   the   one   who   has   the   family 

fortune。      Then�察�too�察�there is my father´in´law�察�a regular dragoon for his

I tell you it would cost me dear�察�terribly dear。             And�察�besides�察�I have given 

my word。; 

     ;You must take back your word。; 

     ;You still insist�拭─�exclaimed George�察�in despair。                 ;But then�察�suppose 

that it were possible�察�how could I take back my signature which I put at 

the bottom of the deed�拭          �I have pledged myself to pay in two months for
