Upon many visages a sombrehue was painted. As for me I had enough to do to compose my, own visage, upon which all eyes successively passed; I had put upon it an extra coatof gravity and of modesty; I steered my eyes with care, and only lookedhorizontally at most, not an inch higher. As soon as the Regent openedhis mouth on this business, M. Le Duc cast upon me a triumphant lookwhich almost routed my seriousness, and which warned me to increase it, and no longer expose myself to meet his glance.... Contained in thismanner, attentive in devouring the aspect of all, alive to everything andto myself, motionless, glued to my chair, all my body fixed, penetratedwith the most acute and most sensible pleasure that joy could impart, with the most charming anxiety, with an enjoyment, so perseveringly andso immoderately hoped for, I sweated with agony at the captivity of mytransport, and this agony was of a voluptuousness such as I had neverfelt before, such as I have never felt since. How inferior are thepleasures of the senses to those of the mind!
