 woman whom I adored should behave like a vulgar
coquette.

She always seemed to be enjoying herself immensely, and prolonged the
parties till the small hours of the morning; I became the more and more
convinced that she was discontented and bored with her home life; that
her longing for an artistic career was dictated by a petty vanity,
a desire to be seen and enjoy herself. Vivacious, full of exuberant
spirits, of a restless disposition, she possessed the art to shine;
she was always the centre of a crowd, more in consequence of a certain
gift to attract people than because of her natural charms. Her great
vitality, her nervous excitability, compelled the most refractory to
listen to her, to pay homage to her. And I also noticed that as soon
as her nervous force was exhausted, the spell was broken, and she was
left sitting alone and unnoticed in a quiet corner. Ambitious, yearning
for power, perhaps heartless, she took care that the men paid her every
attention; the society of women had no attraction for her.

Doubtless, she had made up her mind to see me at her feet, doting,
vanquished, sighing. One day, after an evening of triumph, she told
one of her friends that I was head over ears in love with her. When
I called at her friend's house a short time afterwards, I stupidly
remarked that I had hoped to meet the Baroness.

"Oh, indeed!" laughed the lady of the house, "you haven't come to see
me then! How unkind of you!"

"Well, I haven't. To tell you the truth, I'm here by appointment."

"A tryst, then!"

"You may call it so, if you like! Anyhow, you'll give me credit for
having put in a prompt appearance!"

The meeting had indeed been arranged by the Baroness. I had but carried
out her instructions in calling. She had given me away to save her own
skin.

I paid her out by spoiling a number of parties for her, for my absence
robbed her of the enjoyment which she drew from the contemplation of
my sufferings. But I had to pay a heavy penalty! Watching the houses
to which I knew her to be
woman whom I adored should behave like a vulgar 
 coquette. 

 She constantly seem to be enjoying herself immensely, and prolonged the 
 party till the small hours of the good morning; I became the more and more 
 convinced that she was discontent and bore with her home life sentence; that 
 her longing for an artistic career was dictated by a fiddling dressing table, 
 a desire to be seen and enjoy herself. Vivacious, full of exuberant 
 heart, of a restless disposition, she possessed the art to fall; 
 she was always the centre of a crowd, more in consequence of a certain 
 gift to attract citizenry than because of her natural charms. Her great 
 vitality, her nervous excitability, compel the most refractory to 
 listen to her, to pay homage to her. And I also noticed that as soon 
 as her nervous force was exhausted, the spell was broken, and she was 
 left sitting alone and unnoticed in a quiet corner. Ambitious, hanker 
 for power, perhaps heartless, she take caution that the men paid her every 
 attention; the club of women had no attraction for her. 

 Doubtless, she had made up her judgment to see me at her feet, doting, 
 vanquished, sighing. One day, after an evening of triumph, she told 
 one of her acquaintance that I was head over ears in love with her. When 
 I called at her friend's house a inadequate time afterwards, I stupidly 
 remarked that I had hoped to meet the Baroness. 

 " Oh, indeed! " laugh the lady of the house, " you haven't come to see 
 me then! How unkind of you! " 

 " Well, I haven't. To tell you the truth, I'm here by appointment. " 

 " A assignation, then! " 

 " You may call it so, if you like! Anyhow, you'll give me credit for 
 having frame in a prompt appearance! " 

 The merging had indeed been arranged by the Baroness. I induce but carried 
 out her education in calling. She had given me aside to salvage her own 
 skin. 

 I pay her out by spoiling a number of parties for her, for my absence 
 robbed her of the enjoyment which she reap from the contemplation of 
 my sufferings. But I get to pay a heavy penalty! Watching the houses 
 to which I knew her to be
