In his studies, Mathieu Delannes held a very enviable rank; at most he could be reproached for not taking much pains. He distinguished himself in a general, continuous way, without shining by any of those particular merits which flatter the master and engage the future success of the subject. His calm mood, his assiduous work never foreshadowed anything surprising: he would no more have departed from his calm than he would, for example, have sabotaged a composition. He only asked to be left free. The professor's criticisms failed to move him; they interested him, on the other hand, coming from a character committed to this job. He thought about it, the time it takes, then he thought of something else. Very good comrade, everyone would have testified to it, Delannes participated little, however, in the life of his peers and belonged only nominally to this diffuse masonry, bound by so many secret conventions, barely avowed, that is a class of rhetoric or philosophy. Above all, he wanted to feel free. His influence on his fellow students was due, in part, to this very independence and to a certain respect that he felt obscurely for the individual freedom of others. However little he knew, the professor found in him a powerful help. Mathieu didn't take the slightest pride in this collaboration, which seemed quite natural to him: he was surprised that he was thanked for it.
