This summary provides the key details from the document in 3 sentences: The document describes the death of an unnamed individual and discusses morality and the Catholic Church. It then shifts to a scene where Charlot/Jean-Louis Chavel interrupts an interaction between Carosse and Mademoiselle Mangeot. Charlot realizes how young Mangeot is and feels tenderness for her. When Carosse asks if Charlot saw the priest home safely, Charlot reveals his true identity is Jean-Louis Chavel.

2. DEMISE
• Death is not private: the breath doesn't
simply stop in the body and that's the
end—whisper, clink, the creak of a board,
the gush of water into a sink. Death was
like an operation performed urgently
without the proper attendants—or like a
childbirth. One expected at any moment
to hear the wail of the newborn, but what
one heard at last was simply silence. The
tap was stopped, the glass was quiet, the
boards ceased to creak.

3. MORALITY, CRITICISM OF CATHOLIC
CHURCH AND GOSSIP
• Charlot was irritated by the man's assumption
that human actions were governed
incontestably by morality—not even by
morality, but by the avoidance of scandal. He
said, "It's for Mademoiselle Mangeot to
decide.“
• They stopped at the outskirts of the village.
The priest said, "Mademoiselle Mangeot is a
young woman very easily swayed. She is very
ignorant of life, very simple." He stood like a
black exclamation mark against the gray
early-morning sky: he had an appearance of
enormous arrogance and certainty.

4. SALVATION ?
• The clock in the ugly church struck. It was half past six: the hour when in prison
he had made his only attempt to go back on his bargain; the hour when it had
first become possible to make out Janvier's unsleeping eyes. He said, "Trust
me, Father. I want nothing but good for Mademoiselle Mangeot," and turned
and strode rapidly back toward the house. It was the hour when one saw
clearly...
• The lower rooms were in darkness, but there was a light on the landing and
when he entered the hall, he entered so quietly that neither person heard him.
They were poised like players before a camera waiting for the director's word to
start. So much sorrow in lust and so much lust in sorrow, the priest had said—it
was as if they were bent on exhibiting one half of the truth. He wondered what
had just been said or done to slice the line of dissatisfaction on the man's cheek
and make the girl lean forward with hunger and tears.

5. A MAN
• "Mademoiselle," he cried, "you are alone
now—so alone. But you need never be
alone again. You've hated me, but that's all
over. You needn't worry any more over this
and that." He knew the game so well,
Charlot thought: the restless playboy knew
how to offer what most people wanted more
than love—peace. The words flowed like
water—the water of Lethe.
• "You can trust me," Carosse said, "because
I've told you the worst. I've told you who I
am."

6. ENTERS THE MAN
• "Mademoiselle Mangeot," Charlot said. The
girl detached herself and looked down at
him with confusion and shame. He realized
then how young she was, and how old they
both were. He no longer felt the desire at all:
only an immeasurable tenderness.
• The light on the landing was dimming as
daylight advanced and she looked in the
gray tide like a plain child who had been
kept from bed by a party that has gone on
too long.

7. CONFESSION
• Carosse watched him carefully; his
right hand shifted from the girl's arm to
his pocket. "Well, Charlot, my dear
fellow, did you see the priest safe
home?"
"My name," Charlot said, standing in
the hall and addressing his words to
Therese Mangeot, "is not Charlot. I am
Jean-Louis Chavel."
