His jealous love for Albertine continues, along with suspicions that she is a lesbian. He becomes intimately involved with the Verdurins, the snobbish bourgeois family at whose home he meets artists and musicians, as well as the ever-present Baron de Charlus. In THE FUGITIVE, despite his family's disapproval, Marcel and Albertine live together in Paris. He becomes obsessed with her life, and spies on her shamelessly, finally testing her love by suggesting they separate. She stuns him by leaving and is subsequently killed in a fall from a horse.
