Book Description
Excerpt from Letters of George Sand: With Preface and Biographical Sketch by the Translator; Illustrated With Sir Portraits of George Sand at Various Periods of Her Life What can you be doing in the country in this frightful weather? Perhaps the weather is fine where you are? Here, you might imagine it to be the end Of all things; the last fortnight has been one of storm and tempest I am quite ill through it. Fortunately my novel is completed; for, under the effect of the electricity with which the air is charged, I might have copied your de'nouement, and made M. Sylvestre kill his jade Of a wife. But he had not any such right, not being an artiste - that is to say, a man of. Impulse - but rather priding himself upon being a philosopher, that is to say, a man Of reflection. Your de'nouement must, at any rate, be considered the true one, since my good hero felt that, if he should again become enamoured of his wife, he would kill her.
