How could I use this stove in a country where there is no gas?
No, no! If I leave Paris, everything is at an end my position, as well as my work.

I shall become a country doctor, and nothing but a country doctor.

Let the sheriff turn me out to-morrow, and all the four years' accumulations in my laboratory, all my works en train that demand only a few days or hours to complete, may go to the second-hand dealer, or be thrown into the street.

Of all my efforts, weary nights, privations, and hopes, there remains only one souvenir--for me.

And yet, if it did not remain, perhaps I should be less exasperated, and should accept with a heart less sore the life to which I shall never resign myself.
