Financial Ruin

Gorijo's story in the pension is a gradual descent. In 1813 he arrives with an annuity of about 10,000 francs, well-dressed, with gold snuffboxes. A year later, he moves to the second floor and gives up luxury. In the third year, he finds himself on the third floor, wearing rags. Madame Vauquer considers this a personal insult or 'inverted debauchery'.

Original version

Finansinis nuopuolis

Gorijo istorija pensione yra laipsniškas kritimas žemyn. 1813 m. jis atvyksta turėdamas apie 10 000 frankų metinės rentos, gerai apsirengęs, su auksiniais tabokinėmis. Po metų jis persikelia į antrą aukštą ir atsisako prabangos. Trečiaisiais metais jis atsiduria trečiame aukšte, nešioja skudurus. Ponia Vokė tai vertina kaip asmeninį įžeidimą arba „išvirkščią ištvirkimą“.
