-You are afraid! she said, I would brave all the dangers of the world without flinching. I fear one thing, when I will be alone after you left.

And she left him in power.

Ah! Julien said to himself exalted, remorse is the only danger feared that soul sublime!

Finally the evening came. M. de Renal went to the Casino. His wife had announced a terrible headache, she retired to her, hastened to send Elisa, and rose quickly to open it to Julian.

It turned out that he actually died of hunger. Madame de Renal went to the office to get bread. Julien heard a loud cry. Madame de Renal came back and told him that entering the office without light, approaching a buffet where you pressed the bread, and extending her hand, she had touched a woman’s arm. It was Eliza who had thrown the cry heard by Julien.

-What was she doing there?

-She stole some sweets, or it was watching us, ’said Madame de Renal with complete indifference. But fortunately I found a block and a large loaf.

-What ’s he doing there? Julien said, pointing to the pockets of her apron.

Madame de Renal had forgotten that for dinner, they were filled with bread.
