On being questioned, Marguerite admitted everything to the duke, and advised him, without arriere-pensee, to concern himself with her no longer, for she felt incapable of carrying out what she had undertaken, and she did not wish to go on accepting benefits from a man whom she was deceiving.
Interrogée, Marguerite avoua tout au duc, lui conseillant, sans arrière-pensée, de cesser de s'occuper d'elle, car elle ne se sentait pas la force de tenir les engagements pris, et ne voulait pas recevoir plus longtemps les bienfaits d'un homme qu'elle trompait.
