of her ingratitude.

What could he do more? And yet she spends, spends as

never before.

It is ridiculous. Can she not enjoy life at a smaller

figure?

Was ever monarch plagued with so extravagant an ex-wife. She

owes

her chocolate-merchant, her candle-merchant, her sweetmeat purveyor;

her grocer, her butcher, her poulterer; her architect, and the shopkeeper

who sells her rouge; her perfumer, her dressmaker, her merchant

of shoes.

She owes for fans, plants, engravings, and chairs. She

owes

masons and carpenters, vintners, lingeres. The ladys

affairs

are in sad confusion.

And why? Why?

Can a river flow when the spring is dry?

Night. The Empress sits alone, and the clock ticks, one

after one.

The clock nicks off the edges of her life. She is chipped

an old bit of china; she is frayed like a garment of last years

wearing.

She is soft, crinkled, like a fading rose. And each minute

flows by

brushing against her, shearing off another and another petal.
