Already she was beginning to sob, and great tears were dropping. Captain Brocq, struck dumb,
gazed at her sorrowfully. And whilst he clasped her in his arms, anxiety strained at his heart,
anguish convulsed his soul. Did she really love him, this woman with her whimsical ways, her
independent attitude, this elusive woman who never gave herself entirely? Was he the dupe of a
comedy? Did she consent to these meetings three times a week through pity, through sympathy
only, or through habit, or, worse still, for some mercenary reason? And this when he himself
would have given up everything so that he might not miss them! Ah, if that were the truth! The
captain felt an immense void opening in the depths of his lonely soul. He apologised in a low
voice, hurriedly, with bent head, humbly, and Bobinette listened with curled lip and haughty air:
She bore no malice, she declared. Then, a few moments later, for she was really much upset and
did not wish to show it, she hurried away, dropping a hasty kiss on her lover's forehead as a
token of peace. How ardently he wished that this peace might last. "I am very much behind
time," she had murmured by way of farewell. Directly his mistress had gone, Brocq went to the
window, watched her turn the corner of the rue de Lille, enter the rue des Saints-Pères, and go
towards the quays. While he watched her he was trembling. A roll of paper was sticking out of
Bobinette's muff. Brocq knew this paper: its appearance and colour were familiar to him.
Nevertheless, his mind was so full of his love affair that he immediately forgot this detail. But,
in a minute, the turn of events forced him to recall it.
