Ah!" thought Rodolphe, turning very pale, "that was what she came for." At last he said with a calm air- "Dear madame, I have not got them." He did not lie. If he had had them, he would, no doubt, have given them, although it is generally disagreeable to do such fine things: a demand for money being, of all the winds that blow upon love, the coldest and most destructive.
( Gustave Flaubert )
[ Madame Bovary ]
