petty habits of her early life。
Such is the history of Eugenie Grandet; who is in the world but not of
it; who; created to be supremely a wife and mother; has neither
husband nor children nor family。 Lately there has been some question
of her marrying again。 The Saumur people talk of her and of the
Marquis de Froidfond; whose family are beginning to beset the rich
widow just as; in former days; the Cruchots laid siege to the rich
heiress。 Nanon and Cornoiller are; it is said; in the interests of the
marquis。 Nothing could be more false。 Neither la Grande Nanon nor
Cornoiller has sufficient mind to understand the corruptions of the
world。
