Note 452 — Chapter XII

Reading edition

He has for two years been ordered to be present, but forbidden to celebrate; in punishment for his having, uncanonically, fought as a Chouan—if not also for attempted suicide.

On the contrary, she declares that he cared nothing for her.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
