"I felt quite young again when I got among the wheat， for a woman's heart never grows old！ And really， I no longer saw my husband as he is at present， but just as he was formerly！ That I will swear to you， monsieur. As true as I am standing here I was crazy. I began to kiss him， and he was more surprised than if I had tried to murder him. He kept saying to me： 'Why， you must be mad！ You are mad this morning！ What is the matter with you？ ' I did not listen to him， I only listened to my own heart， and I made him come into the wood with me. That is all. I have spoken the truth， Monsieur le Maire， the whole truth."
