When Jacquemar first glimpses this temptress, "her beauty aroused in him an irresistible, nameless thirst which, if it was sexual, seemed to endow sexuality with a new role in the world."

But that was the last glimmer of fire. For a man who had just stormed out of Paris spewing a blizzard of invective and cracking jokes right and left, his performance was odd, unexpected, and curiously neutral...
