The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Paz by Honore de Balzac: and make you do something illegal and criminal. Holy Father, if you
should get into the police-courts! it makes me tremble from head to
foot; suppose they should put you in the newspapers! I'll tell you
what I should do in your place; I'd warn the police."
One particular day, after many foolish notions had fermented for some
time in Malaga's mind, Paz having laid his money as usual on the
mantel-piece, she seized the bits of gold and flung them in his face,
crying out, "I don't want stolen money!"
The captain gave the gold to Chapuzot, went away without a word, and
did not return.
Clementine was at this time at her uncle's place in Burgundy.
