Madame Bovary’s mind (to be) not yet sufficiently clear to
apply herself seriously to anything; moreover, she (to begin)
this reading in too much hurry. She (to grow) provoked at the
doctrines of religion; the arrogance of the polemic writings
(to displease) her by their inveteracy in attacking people she
did not know; and the secular stories, relieved with
religion, (to seem) to her written in such ignorance of the
world, that they insensibly (to estrange) her from the truths
for whose proof she was looking. Nevertheless, she
(to persevere); and when the volume (to slip) from her hands,
she (to fancy) herself seized with the finest Catholic
melancholy that an ethereal soul could conceive.
