ABOUT
RE-UNION WITH A FORMER LOVER
WHEN
a courtesan abandons her present lover after
all his wealth is exhausted, she may then
consider about her reunion with a former
lover. But she should return to him only if
he has acquired fresh wealth, or is still
wealthy, and if he is still attached to her.
And if this man be living at the time with
some other woman she should consider well
before she acts.
Now
such a man can only be in one of the six
following conditions:
He
may have left the first woman of his own
accord, and may even have left another
woman since then.
He may have been driven away from both
women.
He may have left the one woman of her own
accord, and been driven away by the other.
He may have left the one woman of his own
accord, and be living with another woman.
He may have been driven away from the one
woman, and left the other of his own
accord.
He may have been driven away by the one
woman, and may be living with another.
Now
if the man has left both women of his own
accord, he should not be resorted to, on
account of the fickleness of his mind, and
his indifference to the excellences of both
of them.
As
regards the man who may have been driven
away from both women, if he has been driven
away from the last one because the woman
could get more money from some other man,
then he should be resorted to, for if
attached to the first woman he would give
her more money, through vanity and emulation
to spite the other woman. But if he has been
driven away by the woman on account of his
poverty, or stinginess, he should not then
be resorted to.
In
the case of the man who may have left the
one woman of his own accord, and been driven
away by the other, if he agrees to return to
the former and give her plenty of money
beforehand, then he should be resorted to.
In
the case of the man who may have left the
one woman of his own accord, and be living
with another woman, the former (wishing to
take up with him again) should first
ascertain if he left her in the first
instance in the hope of finding some
particular excellence in the other woman,
and that not having found any such
excellence, he was willing to come back to
her, and to give her much money on account
of his conduct, and on account of his
affection still existing for her.
Or,
whether, having discovered many faults in
the other woman, he would now see even more
excellences in herself than actually exist,
and would be prepared to give her much money
for these qualities.
Or,
lastly, to consider whether he was a weak
man, or a man fond of enjoying many women,
or one who liked a poor woman, or one who
never did anything for the woman that he was
with. After maturely considering all these
things, she should resort to him or not,
according to circumstances.
As
regards the man who may have been driven
away from the one woman, and left the other
of his own accord, the former woman (wishing
to reunite with him) should first ascertain
whether he still has any affection for her,
and would consequently spend much money upon
her; or whether, being attached to her
excellent qualities, he did not take delight
in any other woman; or whether, being driven
away from her formerly before completely
satisfying his sexual desires, he wished to
get back to her, so as to be revenged for
the injury done to him; or whether he wished
to create confidence in her mind, and then
take back from her the wealth which she
formerly took from him, and finally destroy
her; or, lastly, whether he wished first to
separate her from her present lover, and
then to break away from her himself. If,
after considering all these things, sire is
of opinion that his intentions are really
pure and honest, she can reunite herself
with him. But if his mind be at all tainted
with evil intentions, he should be avoided.
