Hanska would summon him to see her, and abstract the greater part of his actual visits to her in order to serve this still more absorbing mistress.
As early as the Genevan meeting of 1833, Madame Hanska had formally promised to marry Baizac in the case of her husband's death, and this occurred at the end of 1841.
She would not, however, allow him even to visit her until the next year had expired, and then, though he travelled to St. Petersburg and the engagement was renewed after a fashion, its fulfilment was indefinitely postponed.
He now had good expectations of marrying Eveline, but there were many obstacles, not the least being his inextricable indebtedness.
She in fact held back for many years, and the period of 1842-48 shows Balzac continuing and even intensifying his literary activity in the frantic hope of winning her, though he had to contend with increasing ill health.
In the autumn of 1847 Balzac went to Madame Hanska’s chateau and remained there until February 1848.
