Every
one
held
the
accusing
paper
,
but
,
as
usual
,
no
one
liked
to
take
upon
himself
the
responsibility
of
the
attack
.
At
length
an
honorable
peer
,
Morcerf
's
acknowledged
enemy
,
ascended
the
tribune
with
that
solemnity
which
announced
that
the
expected
moment
had
arrived
.
There
was
an
impressive
silence
;
Morcerf
alone
knew
not
why
such
profound
attention
was
given
to
an
orator
who
was
not
always
listened
to
with
so
much
complacency
.
The
count
did
not
notice
the
introduction
,
in
which
the
speaker
announced
that
his
communication
would
be
of
that
vital
importance
that
it
demanded
the
undivided
attention
of
the
House
;
but
at
the
mention
of
Yanina
and
Colonel
Fernand
,
he
turned
so
frightfully
pale
that
every
member
shuddered
and
fixed
his
eyes
upon
him
.
Moral
wounds
have
this
peculiarity
--
they
may
be
hidden
,
but
they
never
close
;
always
painful
,
always
ready
to
bleed
when
touched
,
they
remain
fresh
and
open
in
the
heart
.
The
article
having
been
read
during
the
painful
hush
that
followed
,
a
universal
shudder
pervaded
the
assembly
,
and
immediately
the
closest
attention
was
given
to
the
orator
as
he
resumed
his
remarks
.
He
stated
his
scruples
and
the
difficulties
of
the
case
;
it
was
the
honor
of
M.
de
Morcerf
,
and
that
of
the
whole
House
,
he
proposed
to
defend
,
by
provoking
a
debate
on
personal
questions
,
which
are
always
such
painful
themes
of
discussion
.
He
concluded
by
calling
for
an
investigation
,
which
might
dispose
of
the
calumnious
report
before
it
had
time
to
spread
,
and
restore
M.
de
Morcerf
to
the
position
he
had
long
held
in
public
opinion
.
Morcerf
was
so
completely
overwhelmed
by
this
great
and
unexpected
calamity
that
he
could
scarcely
stammer
a
few
words
as
he
looked
around
on
the
assembly
.
This
timidity
,
which
might
proceed
from
the
astonishment
of
innocence
as
well
as
the
shame
of
guilt
,
conciliated
some
in
his
favor
;
for
men
who
are
truly
generous
are
always
ready
to
compassionate
when
the
misfortune
of
their
enemy
surpasses
the
limits
of
their
hatred
.
The
president
put
it
to
the
vote
,
and
it
was
decided
that
the
investigation
should
take
place
.
The
count
was
asked
what
time
he
required
to
prepare
his
defence
.
Morcerf
's
courage
had
revived
when
he
found
himself
alive
after
this
horrible
blow
.
"
My
lords
,
"
answered
he
,
"
it
is
not
by
time
I
could
repel
the
attack
made
on
me
by
enemies
unknown
to
me
,
and
,
doubtless
,
hidden
in
obscurity
;
it
is
immediately
,
and
by
a
thunderbolt
,
that
I
must
repel
the
flash
of
lightning
which
,
for
a
moment
,
startled
me
.
Oh
,
that
I
could
,
instead
of
taking
up
this
defence
,
shed
my
last
drop
of
blood
to
prove
to
my
noble
colleagues
that
I
am
their
equal
in
worth
.
"
These
words
made
a
favorable
impression
on
behalf
of
the
accused
.
"
I
demand
,
then
,
that
the
examination
shall
take
place
as
soon
as
possible
,
and
I
will
furnish
the
house
with
all
necessary
information
.
"
"
What
day
do
you
fix
?
"
asked
the
president
.
"
To-day
I
am
at
your
service
,
"
replied
the
count
.
The
president
rang
the
bell
.
"
Does
the
House
approve
that
the
examination
should
take
place
today
?
"
"
Yes
,
"
was
the
unanimous
answer
.
A
committee
of
twelve
members
was
chosen
to
examine
the
proofs
brought
forward
by
Morcerf
.
The
investigation
would
begin
at
eight
o'clock
that
evening
in
the
committee-room
,
and
if
postponement
were
necessary
,
the
proceedings
would
be
resumed
each
evening
at
the
same
hour
.
Morcerf
asked
leave
to
retire
;
he
had
to
collect
the
documents
he
had
long
been
preparing
against
this
storm
,
which
his
sagacity
had
foreseen
.
Albert
listened
,
trembling
now
with
hope
,
then
with
anger
,
and
then
again
with
shame
,
for
from
Beauchamp
's
confidence
he
knew
his
father
was
guilty
,
and
he
asked
himself
how
,
since
he
was
guilty
,
he
could
prove
his
innocence
.
Beauchamp
hesitated
to
continue
his
narrative
.
"
What
next
?
"
asked
Albert
.
"
What
next
?
My
friend
,
you
impose
a
painful
task
on
me
.
Must
you
know
all
?
"
