Excerpt from Princess Napraxine, Vol. 3 of 3By the law of the attraction of contrasts, there had arisen a mutual attachment between her and Baron Fritz: the unscrupulous old man, for whom as for Turcaret the whole world was composed of shareholders, felt more reverence and tenderness for Yseulte than he ever felt in his life for anyone, and she, who only saw his devotion to Othmar, his admirable manners, his shrewd wit, and his paternal kind ness to herself, grew fond of, and grateful to, him, and was wholly ignorant of that merci lessness and selfishness which would have immolated all mankind to the service of his per sonal ambitions, and to which all morality or humanity appeared as absurd as they did to Fouquet or to Talleyrand.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
