He had led the mercenary little strumpet-it was thus he thought of her at present, and with some justice-to expect favours from him in addition to the lavish awards which already he had made her. The baggage had almost sought to drive a bargain with him as to her future. He was to take her to Paris, put her into her own furniture-as the expression ran, and still runs-and under the shadow of his powerful protection see that the doors of the great theatres of the capital should be opened to her talents. He had not-he was thankful to reflect-exactly committed himself. But neither had he definitely refused her. It became necessary now to come to an understanding, since he was compelled to choose between his trivial passion for her-a passion quenched already -and his deep, almost spiritual devotion to Mademoiselle de Kercadiou.
