Why should this thing, which he kept at arm'slength when he was alone, which he drove from him for fear of thetorment it brought upon his soul, rise to his lips at this moment? Andwhy did he allow it to overflow them as if he needed once more to emptyout his heart to some one, gorged as it was with bitterness?
Pourquoi cette idée, qu'il rejetait delui lorsqu'il se trouvait seul, qu'il repoussait par crainte du troubleapporté dans son âme, lui vint-elle aux lèvres en cet instant, etpourquoi la laissa-t-il couler, comme s'il eût eu besoin de vider denouveau devant quelqu'un son coeur gonflé d'amertume?
