You, Morcerf, what do you want to talk to it about?
I hope a paragraph in it will be corrected.
Which paragraph do you mean, but sit down and talk about it?
Thank you, Albert said, bowing coldly and mechanically.
Now explain the meaning of that sentence. What will make you unhappy?
That remark affect that reputation of a member of my family.
Which piece of news Beauchamp said with great surprise that you must be mistaken?
It’s the newsletter that Janina sent you.
From Janina.
It’s as if you really don’t know anything about me
I guarantee my personality. Betisti gave me yesterday’s newspaper, Beauchamp shouted
I have brought a copy here, replied Albert
Beauchamp took the newspaper and read the Janina newsletter lightly.
You see how annoying this news is, said Morcerf after reading Beauchamp
So does this side say that the officer is a relative of yours? The editor-in-chief asked.
Said to Albert, blushing with shame
So what do you want me to do? Beauchamp said warmly
My dear Beauchamp, I hope you will update this news.
Beauchamp looked at Albert with a very cordial expression, and I said that he said that this matter needed to be discussed well. More news has always been a very important matter. You know, sit down and I’ll read it again.
Albert sat down again, and Beauchamp read the lines of his friend’s condemnation more carefully than the first time.
Well, Albert said firmly, you see, your newspaper insulted a member of my family, and I firmly demand that it be corrected
You are determined
I am determined.
Allow me to wake you up. You’re not a senator, my dear Lord.
I don’t want to be a member of parliament either. The young man got up and said, I’m going to tell you again. I’m determined to update yesterday’s news. You’ve known me for a long time. When Albert saw Beauchamp holding his head up contemptuously, he bit his lip and went on to say that he used to be my friend. You and I are quite close. You should know that I must stick to it.
I used to be your friend Morcerf, and the way you talk now almost makes me forget that I was honored to have that title before, but wait a minute. Let’s not get angry, at least for now. You are too impatient and troubled. Tell me what this Fernand has to do with you.
He is my father, Albert said, Mr. Fernand Montague, Count de Morcerf. He is an old soldier who has been through twenty wars, but they want mud in the ditch to erase his glorious scars.
Is it your father? Beauchamp said that’s not the same thing. Now I can understand your anger. Because of my dear Albert, I will read it again, so he read the news word by word for the third time.
But there is nowhere in the newspaper that this Fernand is your father.
No, but others can see this. I insist on updating the news
Hearing these words, Beauchamp raised his eyes and looked firmly at Albert’s face. Then his eyes gradually lowered and he hesitated for a moment.
You can correct this news. You promised not to promise Beauchamp Albert that he was getting angrier and angrier, but you tried your best to resist it.
But Beauchamp replied
Immediately? said Albert
After I confirmed that the news was not true
what
This matter needs to be investigated-and I want to investigate.
But that will be investigated. Albert said angrily that if you don’t believe it was my father, then you immediately believe it was him who said that.
Beauchamp had a special smile on his face, which could reach different emotional pavilions in his heart in different situations. He looked at Albert with that smile and replied, You have come to me to find some satisfaction. You should just say that I don’t have to have this meaningless conversation. I have been listening patiently for half an hour. Did I call you when you came to me this time?
You’re the one who didn’t promise more libel.
Wait a minute. Don’t scare people, Mr. Fernand Montague. Count de Morcerf, I never allow my enemies to intimidate me, and I don’t want my friends to treat me this way. You insist that I correct this news from Fernand’s school, but I can assure you that I have no news at all. Do you still want to be firm?
It was I who insisted on more. Albert said that he was a little confused because of his excessive excitement
