Chapter III
“But the normal man begets children just like an animal coupled with another by law. “Look at that woman! Is it not abominable to think that such a jewel, such a pearl, born to be beautiful, admired, feted and adored, has spent eleven years of her life in providing heirs for the Comte de Mascaret?” Bernard Grandin replied with a laugh: “There is a great deal of truth in all that, but very few people would understand you.” Salnis became more and more animated.
