Chapter X
More than three weeks passed. Laurent came to the shop every evening, looking weary and unwell. A light bluish circle surrounded his eyes, and his lips were becoming pale and chapped.

Madame Raquin pampered the friend of the family the more, now that she saw him giving way to a sort of low fever.
