io. Surely he must return to the common parent. God, that you have, must love his work. Would not have created a being so wonderful to make him a reprobate. Mine is the guilt and punishment of my reckless daring, should not I have seen I suffer when I should not love him?
My fault and my misfortune is to have closed his eyes for so long to this truth. You are a witness, my dear and worthy friend, how I have suffered this sacrifice, having recognized the need for it, but that was complete, lacking that M. de Valmont not participate. I confess to you that this idea is that most haunts me now? Unbearable pride softens the evils we feel, by which we suffer. Ah! I will overcome this rebellious heart, Iget used to humiliation.
To this end I have consented to receive next Thursday the painful visit Monsieur de Valmont. I hear from her lips to him and how I am nothing, that the weak and fleeting impression that it had caused was deleted at all. Vere their eyes fall on mine, emotionless, cold, while fear of showing my passion I will lower my eyes. The same cards so long denied my repeated pleas, the receive of her indifference, I shall return as useless objects and in no way interested, and my hands trembling, to receive this deposit embarrassing, feel that the hands are firm and quiet. In short, we see away ... away forever, and I looki heart. His precious friendship filled my whole life. I shall not seem hard to second the care they want to give me. I shall owe my peace, my happiness, my virtue, and the fruit of their benefits will have made myself worthy. I wandered
much in this letter, I suspect at least for the embarrassment that comes over me to write. If there is any feeling that might embarrass, cover you with his gracious friendship. I submit to it. I do not hide any movement of my heart.
Goodbye, respected friend. I hope shortly to inform you of my arrival.
Paris, October 25, 1917 ...
