"
Well
,
"
said
Andrea
,
"
let
it
be
as
you
wish
.
This
evening
,
then
,
at
nine
o'clock
.
"
"
Adieu
till
then
.
"
Notwithstanding
a
slight
resistance
on
the
part
of
Monte
Cristo
,
whose
lips
turned
pale
,
but
who
preserved
his
ceremonious
smile
,
Andrea
seized
the
count
's
hand
,
pressed
it
,
jumped
into
his
phaeton
,
and
disappeared
.
The
four
or
five
remaining
hours
before
nine
o'clock
arrived
,
Andrea
employed
in
riding
,
paying
visits
--
designed
to
induce
those
of
whom
he
had
spoken
to
appear
at
the
banker
's
in
their
gayest
equipages
--
dazzling
them
by
promises
of
shares
in
schemes
which
have
since
turned
every
brain
,
and
in
which
Danglars
was
just
taking
the
initiative
.
In
fact
,
at
half-past
eight
in
the
evening
the
grand
salon
,
the
gallery
adjoining
,
and
the
three
other
drawing-rooms
on
the
same
floor
,
were
filled
with
a
perfumed
crowd
,
who
sympathized
but
little
in
the
event
,
but
who
all
participated
in
that
love
of
being
present
wherever
there
is
anything
fresh
to
be
seen
.
An
Academician
would
say
that
the
entertainments
of
the
fashionable
world
are
collections
of
flowers
which
attract
inconstant
butterflies
,
famished
bees
,
and
buzzing
drones
.
No
one
could
deny
that
the
rooms
were
splendidly
illuminated
;
the
light
streamed
forth
on
the
gilt
mouldings
and
the
silk
hangings
;
and
all
the
bad
taste
of
decorations
,
which
had
only
their
richness
to
boast
of
,
shone
in
its
splendor
.
Mademoiselle
Eugenie
was
dressed
with
elegant
simplicity
in
a
figured
white
silk
dress
,
and
a
white
rose
half
concealed
in
her
jet
black
hair
was
her
only
ornament
,
unaccompanied
by
a
single
jewel
.
Her
eyes
,
however
,
betrayed
that
perfect
confidence
which
contradicted
the
girlish
simplicity
of
this
modest
attire
.
Madame
Danglars
was
chatting
at
a
short
distance
with
Debray
,
Beauchamp
,
and
Chateau
--
Renaud
.
Debray
was
admitted
to
the
house
for
this
grand
ceremony
,
but
on
the
same
plane
with
every
one
else
,
and
without
any
particular
privilege
.
M.
Danglars
,
surrounded
by
deputies
and
men
connected
with
the
revenue
,
was
explaining
a
new
theory
of
taxation
which
he
intended
to
adopt
when
the
course
of
events
had
compelled
the
government
to
call
him
into
the
ministry
.
Andrea
,
on
whose
arm
hung
one
of
the
most
consummate
dandies
of
the
opera
,
was
explaining
to
him
rather
cleverly
,
since
he
was
obliged
to
be
bold
to
appear
at
ease
,
his
future
projects
,
and
the
new
luxuries
he
meant
to
introduce
to
Parisian
fashions
with
his
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
livres
per
annum
.
The
crowd
moved
to
and
fro
in
the
rooms
like
an
ebb
and
flow
of
turquoises
,
rubies
,
emeralds
,
opals
,
and
diamonds
.
As
usual
,
the
oldest
women
were
the
most
decorated
,
and
the
ugliest
the
most
conspicuous
.
If
there
was
a
beautiful
lily
,
or
a
sweet
rose
,
you
had
to
search
for
it
,
concealed
in
some
corner
behind
a
mother
with
a
turban
,
or
an
aunt
with
a
bird
of
paradise
.
At
each
moment
,
in
the
midst
of
the
crowd
,
the
buzzing
,
and
the
laughter
,
the
door-keeper
's
voice
was
heard
announcing
some
name
well
known
in
the
financial
department
,
respected
in
the
army
,
or
illustrious
in
the
literary
world
,
and
which
was
acknowledged
by
a
slight
movement
in
the
different
groups
.
But
for
one
whose
privilege
it
was
to
agitate
that
ocean
of
human
waves
,
how
many
were
received
with
a
look
of
indifference
or
a
sneer
of
disdain
!
At
the
moment
when
the
hand
of
the
massive
time-piece
,
representing
Endymion
asleep
,
pointed
to
nine
on
its
golden
face
,
and
the
hammer
,
the
faithful
type
of
mechanical
thought
,
struck
nine
times
,
the
name
of
the
Count
of
Monte
Cristo
resounded
in
its
turn
,
and
as
if
by
an
electric
shock
all
the
assembly
turned
towards
the
door
.
The
count
was
dressed
in
black
and
with
his
habitual
simplicity
;
his
white
waistcoat
displayed
his
expansive
noble
chest
and
his
black
stock
was
singularly
noticeable
because
of
its
contrast
with
the
deadly
paleness
of
his
face
.
His
only
jewellery
was
a
chain
,
so
fine
that
the
slender
gold
thread
was
scarcely
perceptible
on
his
white
waistcoat
.
A
circle
was
immediately
formed
around
the
door
.
The
count
perceived
at
one
glance
Madame
Danglars
at
one
end
of
the
drawing-room
,
M.
Danglars
at
the
other
,
and
Eugenie
in
front
of
him
.
He
first
advanced
towards
the
baroness
,
who
was
chatting
with
Madame
de
Villefort
,
who
had
come
alone
,
Valentine
being
still
an
invalid
;
and
without
turning
aside
,
so
clear
was
the
road
left
for
him
,
he
passed
from
the
baroness
to
Eugenie
,
whom
he
complimented
in
such
rapid
and
measured
terms
,
that
the
proud
artist
was
quite
struck
.
Near
her
was
Mademoiselle
Louise
d'Armilly
,
who
thanked
the
count
for
the
letters
of
introduction
he
had
so
kindly
given
her
for
Italy
,
which
she
intended
immediately
to
make
use
of
.
On
leaving
these
ladies
he
found
himself
with
Danglars
,
who
had
advanced
to
meet
him
.
