“Os homens - comentou Rebeca - sempre atribuem ao destino as suas loucas paixões. Perdoo-te, mesmo assim, Bois-Guilbert, se bem que sejas o autor do fim da minha passagem pela Terra. Coisas nobres perpassam pela tua mente poderosa, mas não passam de flores num jardim abandonado que as ervas daninhas já ocupam.”
