La Mothe proceeded to say that he and a certain M. Edouard de C����, both of whom were in love with her, accompanied them to Bagn��res de Bigorre. There he and Edouard de C���� quarrelled and fought a duel, in which he, M. La Mothe, was wounded; whereupon T��r��zia, touched by his danger and returning his love for her, remained to nurse him, while his rival departed; and informing her uncle and brother that she declined any further interference on their part, dismissed them.

La Mothe and T��r��zia were separated by circumstances, he having to rejoin his regiment, while she remained at Bordeaux. [91] But however the principles she had adopted may have relaxed her ideas of morality, they never, as will be seen during the history of her life, interfered with the courage, generosity, and kindness of heart which formed so conspicuous a part of her character, and which so often met with such odious ingratitude.
