Essay stress! Help needed!

I’m looking for an English translation of Guy de Maupassant’s ‘Solitude’ I seem to have hit a dead end with the internet. The best I can come up with is this Google translation which is, at best, confusing and quite possibly stripped of any of its original literary quality. (Why change the word ‘Solitude’ to ‘Loneliness‘?) The story doesn’t seem to exist in my four volume so-called Masterpieces of Maupassant either.
Problem is I need it - oooh shall we say - about a week ago.
I’m having a moment of regret for dropping that French A-Level all those years ago.
Anyone?
Pleasey please?
*rips another clump of hair out*
