I have been the cause of suffering to some innocent creatures, but I, also, have suffered much. Ah, mon Dieu! am I not still suffering?
What is my future?
Before me life is dark and gloomy; I am pursued by remorse for the past.
What is my fate?
Am I to perish by suicide? Am I to die the violent death Irene predicted for me?
What thoughts!
And this very day I am twenty-eight.
