Ah, for one night! Just one night!

Jeanne has given me warning. I asked her why she wished to leave. She
only shook her head and made no answer. She was very pale; I did not
like to force her to speak.
It will be very difficult to replace her. On the other hand, how can I
keep her if she has made up her mind to go? Wages are no attraction to
her. If I only knew what she wanted. I have not inquired where she is
going.

Ah, now I understand! It is the restlessness of the senses. She wants
more life than she can get on this island. She knows I see through her,
and casts her eyes downward when I look at her.
