Pages 81-90
I absolutely love that Edna brings up the fact with Mademoiselle that one cannot simply select someone to fall in love with, but that it just happens. The words Edna uses to describe this to her are so powerful, while they talk about Robert’s returning, and his great love and affections that for Edna. “He loves you, poor fool, and is trying to forget you, since you are not free to listen to him or to belong to him.” This quote is also very powerful; Mademoiselle Reisz is relaying the message to Edna so that she will understand why he had to leave her, and so she will know why he hasn’t sent her even one letter during his absence.
