And your son, Victor, has he found any employment?
gpt
He has a good heart, he is very fond of me. It is a great misfortune that we should have been ruined before he could enter the Ecole Normale. It was impossible for him to prepare for the examination. But at the Lycee he was such a diligent and intelligent pupil!

You lost your husband when your son was ten years old, did you not?

Yes, my poor husband never had any luck, she said.

His difficulties embittered and excited his mind, and he died in prison. He was sent there through a disturbance at a public meeting, when he had the misfortune to wound a police officer. He had also fought at the time of the Commune. And yet he was a very gentle man and extremely fond of me.

Well, let us hope that your son will give you satisfaction, and be able to repay you for all you have done for him.
