“Come!… Give me an answer. She does not know… I will make a bet that she does not know… No…she does not know, by Jove! Ha! ha! ha! Nobody knows…nobody… How can one know such things?
“You will not know either, my boy, you will not know any more than I do…never.… Look here… Ask her you will find that she does not know… I do not know either…nor does he, nor do you, nobody knows. You can choose… You can choose…yes, you can choose him or me… Choose.

During the journey his anger calmed down, he regained his senses and returned to Paris, astonished at his own boldness, full of aches and pains as if he had broken some bones. Nevertheless, he went to have a “bock” at his brewery.

“Yes—yes, I am tired…very tired… You know, when one is not used to going out… I’ve had enough of it. I shall not go into the country again. It would have been better to have stayed here. For the future, I shall not stir out.”
She could not persuade him to tell her about his little excursion, much as she wished to.
For the first time in his life he got thoroughly drunk that night, and had to be carried home.
