Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from La Dame De Monsoreau, Vol. 2 of 2
Oh, said he to himself, seeing that he waited use lessly for a look, women have Skill and audacity only when they want to deceive a guardian, a husband, or a mother; they are awkward and cowardly when they have simply a debt of gratitude to pay. They fear so much to seem to love, they attach so exaggerated a value to their least favor, that they do not mind breaking their lover's heart if such be their humor. Diane might have said to me frankly, 'i thank you for what you have done for me, but I do not love you.' The blow would have killed or cured me. But no, She prefers letting me love her hope lessly; but she has gained nothing by it, for I no longer love her, I despise her.
