This young fellow, who, only two days earlier, had seemed to her commonplace and insignificant, of whom she had seen a good deal too much, whom she knew by heart--how mysterious and full of secrets he now appeared to her! How suddenly it had dawned upon her that she did not know him! Of what was he capable?
She tried to guess.

What was he going to do?
Probably nothing.

All men who are thrown over by a woman utter threats and do nothing.

But was Chevalier a man quite like all the rest?
People did say that he was crazy.

That was mere talk.
