You are as unreasonable as she . '' The young girl did not come down to dinner . When they wanted to send her up something to eat she called through the door that she was not hungry , for she had shut herself in , and she begged that they would leave her undisturbed . The two young men left by the ten o'clock train , promising to return the following Thursday , and the Marquise seated herself at the open window to dream , hearing in the distance the orchestra of the boatmen 's ball , with its sprightly music , in the deep and solemn silence of the night . Swayed by love as a person is moved by a fondness for horses or boating , she was subject to sudden tendernesses which crept over her like a disease . These passions took possession of her suddenly , penetrated her entire being , maddened her , enervated or overwhelmed her , in measure as they were of an exalted , violent , dramatic , or sentimental character . She was one of those women who are created to love and to be loved .
