Sentimental Education; Or, The History of a Young Man. Volume 2
rederick passed the whole of the[1] next day in brooding over his anger and humiliation. He reproached himself for not having given a slap in the face to Cisy. As for the Marchale, he swore not to see her again. Others as good-looking could be easily found; and, as money would be required in order to possess these women, he would speculate on the Bourse with the purchase-money of his farm.
