Excerpt from Princess Napraxine, Vol. 3 of 3
By the law of the attraction of contrasts, there had arisen a mutual attachment between her and Baron Fritz: the unscrupulous old man, for whom as for Turcaret the whole world was composed of shareholders, felt more reverence and tenderness for Yseulte than he ever felt in his life for anyone; and she, who only saw his devotion to Othmar, his admirable manners, his shrewd wit, and his paternal kind ness to herself, grew fond of, and grateful to, him, and was wholly ignorant of that merci lessness and selfishness which would have immolated all mankind to the service of his per sonal ambitions, and to which all morality or humanity appeared as absurd as they did to Fouquet or to Talleyrand.

Excerpt from Princess Napraxine, Vol. 3 of 3
A much older and far wiser woman would have been persuaded to believe, as she believed, that in all this delicate prevenance for her pleasures and her preferences the tenderest love had spoken. She could not divine the self-reproach of her husband's conscience, which made him sensible that he perforce denied her so much that was her due, and made him proportionately eager to atone for that denial by every material enjoyment and outward mark of affection and of homage. All those who surrounded him, all his acquaintances, his household, and his dependents, imagined that he loved his young wife. The person who was in nowise deceived was Friederich Othmar.
