Mathilde was a pretty and charming girl, born, as
if by an error of fate, into a family of clerks. She
had no means of becoming known, understood, loved
or be wedded to an aristocrat; and so she let herself
be married to a minor official at the Ministry of
Education.
She dressed plainly, because she had never been
able to afford anything better. She suffered endlessly,
feeling she was entitled to all the luxuries of life. She
suffered because of her shabby, poorly furnished
house. All these things, that another woman of her
class would not even have noticed, tormented her and
made her resentful
. She dreamed of a grand, palatial
mansion, with vast rooms and inviting smaller rooms,
perfumed for afternoon chats with close friends.
12 Yet, she had no rich dresses, no jewels, nothing;
and these were the only things she loved. She wanted
so much to charm, to be envied, to be sought after.
