The plump lady had a gold watch with a chain and purse to match. `Is that all?' says he, trying to speak stern. `It's my very all,' says the girl, `five pounds. Mother gave me her watch, and I shall have no money to take me to Bowning, where I am going to a situation.'

Eugene was almost happy when he reached the Rue Nueve-Sainte- Genevieve; he was so glad to bring the news to the dying man that one of his daughters was coming. He fumbled in Delphine's purse for money, so as to dismiss the cab at once; and discovered that the young, beautiful, and wealthy woman of fashion had only seventy francs in her private purse. He climbed the stairs and found Bianchon supporting Goriot, while the house surgeon from the hospital was applying moxas to the patient's back--under the direction of the physician, it was the last expedient of science, and it was tried in vain.英文原著 · 《Father Goriot》
