The things we do!

How
well I remember me of every one of those days, though there is a death
between me and them, and it is as across a grave I review them! Yet
another parting, and tears and regrets are finished. Tenez, I do not
believe them when they say there is no meeting for us afterwards, there
above. To what good to have seen you, friend, if we are to part here, and
in Heaven too? I have not altogether forgotten your language, is it not
so? I remember it because it was yours, and that of my happy days. I
radote like an old woman as I am. M. de Florac has known my history from
the commencement. May I not say that after so many of years I have been
faithful to him and to all my promises? When the end comes with its great
absolution, I shall not be sorry. One supports the combats of life, but
they are long, and one comes from them very wounded; ah, when shall they
be over?
"You return and I salute you with wishes for parting. How much egotism! I
have another project which I please myself to arrange.
