He
would
fain
have
gazed
upon
his
gold
,
and
yet
he
had
not
strength
enough
;
for
an
instant
he
leaned
his
head
in
his
hands
as
if
to
prevent
his
senses
from
leaving
him
,
and
then
rushed
madly
about
the
rocks
of
Monte
Cristo
,
terrifying
the
wild
goats
and
scaring
the
sea-fowls
with
his
wild
cries
and
gestures
;
then
he
returned
,
and
,
still
unable
to
believe
the
evidence
of
his
senses
,
rushed
into
the
grotto
,
and
found
himself
before
this
mine
of
gold
and
jewels
This
time
he
fell
on
his
knees
,
and
,
clasping
his
hands
convulsively
,
uttered
a
prayer
intelligible
to
God
alone
.
He
soon
became
calmer
and
more
happy
,
for
only
now
did
he
begin
to
realize
his
felicity
.
He
then
set
himself
to
work
to
count
his
fortune
.
There
were
a
thousand
ingots
of
gold
,
each
weighing
from
two
to
three
pounds
;
then
he
piled
up
twenty-five
thousand
crowns
,
each
worth
about
eighty
francs
of
our
money
,
and
bearing
the
effigies
of
Alexander
VI
.
and
his
predecessors
;
and
he
saw
that
the
complement
was
not
half
empty
.
And
he
measured
ten
double
handfuls
of
pearls
,
diamonds
,
and
other
gems
,
many
of
which
,
mounted
by
the
most
famous
workmen
,
were
valuable
beyond
their
intrinsic
worth
.
Dantes
saw
the
light
gradually
disappear
,
and
fearing
to
be
surprised
in
the
cavern
,
left
it
,
his
gun
in
his
hand
.
A
piece
of
biscuit
and
a
small
quantity
of
rum
formed
his
supper
,
and
he
snatched
a
few
hours
'
sleep
,
lying
over
the
mouth
of
the
cave
.
It
was
a
night
of
joy
and
terror
,
such
as
this
man
of
stupendous
emotions
had
already
experienced
twice
or
thrice
in
his
lifetime
.
Day
,
for
which
Dantes
had
so
eagerly
and
impatiently
waited
with
open
eyes
,
again
dawned
.
With
the
first
light
Dantes
resumed
his
search
.
Again
he
climbed
the
rocky
height
he
had
ascended
the
previous
evening
,
and
strained
his
view
to
catch
every
peculiarity
of
the
landscape
;
but
it
wore
the
same
wild
,
barren
aspect
when
seen
by
the
rays
of
the
morning
sun
which
it
had
done
when
surveyed
by
the
fading
glimmer
of
eve
.
Descending
into
the
grotto
,
he
lifted
the
stone
,
filled
his
pockets
with
gems
,
put
the
box
together
as
well
and
securely
as
he
could
,
sprinkled
fresh
sand
over
the
spot
from
which
it
had
been
taken
,
and
then
carefully
trod
down
the
earth
to
give
it
everywhere
a
uniform
appearance
;
then
,
quitting
the
grotto
,
he
replaced
the
stone
,
heaping
on
it
broken
masses
of
rocks
and
rough
fragments
of
crumbling
granite
,
filling
the
interstices
with
earth
,
into
which
he
deftly
inserted
rapidly
growing
plants
,
such
as
the
wild
myrtle
and
flowering
thorn
,
then
carefully
watering
these
new
plantations
,
he
scrupulously
effaced
every
trace
of
footsteps
,
leaving
the
approach
to
the
cavern
as
savage-looking
and
untrodden
as
he
had
found
it
.
This
done
,
he
impatiently
awaited
the
return
of
his
companions
.
To
wait
at
Monte
Cristo
for
the
purpose
of
watching
like
a
dragon
over
the
almost
incalculable
riches
that
had
thus
fallen
into
his
possession
satisfied
not
the
cravings
of
his
heart
,
which
yearned
to
return
to
dwell
among
mankind
,
and
to
assume
the
rank
,
power
,
and
influence
which
are
always
accorded
to
wealth
--
that
first
and
greatest
of
all
the
forces
within
the
grasp
of
man
.
On
the
sixth
day
,
the
smugglers
returned
.
From
a
distance
Dantes
recognized
the
rig
and
handling
of
The
Young
Amelia
,
and
dragging
himself
with
affected
difficulty
towards
the
landing-place
,
he
met
his
companions
with
an
assurance
that
,
although
considerably
better
than
when
they
quitted
him
,
he
still
suffered
acutely
from
his
late
accident
.
He
then
inquired
how
they
had
fared
in
their
trip
.
To
this
question
the
smugglers
replied
that
,
although
successful
in
landing
their
cargo
in
safety
,
they
had
scarcely
done
so
when
they
received
intelligence
that
a
guard-ship
had
just
quitted
the
port
of
Toulon
and
was
crowding
all
sail
towards
them
.
This
obliged
them
to
make
all
the
speed
they
could
to
evade
the
enemy
,
when
they
could
but
lament
the
absence
of
Dantes
,
whose
superior
skill
in
the
management
of
a
vessel
would
have
availed
them
so
materially
.
In
fact
,
the
pursuing
vessel
had
almost
overtaken
them
when
,
fortunately
,
night
came
on
,
and
enabled
them
to
double
the
Cape
of
Corsica
,
and
so
elude
all
further
pursuit
.
Upon
the
whole
,
however
,
the
trip
had
been
sufficiently
successful
to
satisfy
all
concerned
;
while
the
crew
,
and
particularly
Jacopo
,
expressed
great
regrets
that
Dantes
had
not
been
an
equal
sharer
with
themselves
in
the
profits
,
which
amounted
to
no
less
a
sum
than
fifty
piastres
each
.
Edmond
preserved
the
most
admirable
self-command
,
not
suffering
the
faintest
indication
of
a
smile
to
escape
him
at
the
enumeration
of
all
the
benefits
he
would
have
reaped
had
he
been
able
to
quit
the
island
;
but
as
The
Young
Amelia
had
merely
come
to
Monte
Cristo
to
fetch
him
away
,
he
embarked
that
same
evening
,
and
proceeded
with
the
captain
to
Leghorn
.
Arrived
at
Leghorn
,
he
repaired
to
the
house
of
a
Jew
,
a
dealer
in
precious
stones
,
to
whom
he
disposed
of
four
of
his
smallest
diamonds
for
five
thousand
francs
each
.
Dantes
half
feared
that
such
valuable
jewels
in
the
hands
of
a
poor
sailor
like
himself
might
excite
suspicion
;
but
the
cunning
purchaser
asked
no
troublesome
questions
concerning
a
bargain
by
which
he
gained
a
round
profit
of
at
least
eighty
per
cent
.
The
following
day
Dantes
presented
Jacopo
with
an
entirely
new
vessel
,
accompanying
the
gift
by
a
donation
of
one
hundred
piastres
,
that
he
might
provide
himself
with
a
suitable
crew
and
other
requisites
for
his
outfit
,
upon
condition
that
he
would
go
at
once
to
Marseilles
for
the
purpose
of
inquiring
after
an
old
man
named
Louis
Dantes
,
residing
in
the
Allees
de
Meillan
,
and
also
a
young
woman
called
Mercedes
,
an
inhabitant
of
the
Catalan
village
.
Jacopo
could
scarcely
believe
his
senses
at
receiving
this
magnificent
present
,
which
Dantes
hastened
to
account
for
by
saying
that
he
had
merely
been
a
sailor
from
whim
and
a
desire
to
spite
his
family
,
who
did
not
allow
him
as
much
money
as
he
liked
to
spend
;
but
that
on
his
arrival
at
Leghorn
he
had
come
into
possession
of
a
large
fortune
,
left
him
by
an
uncle
,
whose
sole
heir
he
was
.
The
superior
education
of
Dantes
gave
an
air
of
such
extreme
probability
to
this
statement
that
it
never
once
occurred
to
Jacopo
to
doubt
its
accuracy
.
The
term
for
which
Edmond
had
engaged
to
serve
on
board
The
Young
Amelia
having
expired
,
Dantes
took
leave
of
the
captain
,
who
at
first
tried
all
his
powers
of
persuasion
to
induce
him
to
remain
as
one
of
the
crew
,
but
having
been
told
the
history
of
the
legacy
,
he
ceased
to
importune
him
further
.
The
following
morning
Jacopo
set
sail
for
Marseilles
,
with
directions
from
Dantes
to
join
him
at
the
Island
of
Monte
Cristo
.
Having
seen
Jacopo
fairly
out
of
the
harbor
,
Dantes
proceeded
to
make
his
final
adieus
on
board
The
Young
Amelia
,
distributing
so
liberal
a
gratuity
among
her
crew
as
to
secure
for
him
the
good
wishes
of
all
,
and
expressions
of
cordial
interest
in
all
that
concerned
him
.
To
the
captain
he
promised
to
write
when
he
had
made
up
his
mind
as
to
his
future
plans
.
Then
Dantes
departed
for
Genoa
.
At
the
moment
of
his
arrival
a
small
yacht
was
under
trial
in
the
bay
;
this
yacht
had
been
built
by
order
of
an
Englishman
,
who
,
having
heard
that
the
Genoese
excelled
all
other
builders
along
the
shores
of
the
Mediterranean
in
the
construction
of
fast-sailing
vessels
,
was
desirous
of
possessing
a
specimen
of
their
skill
;
the
price
agreed
upon
between
the
Englishman
and
the
Genoese
builder
was
forty
thousand
francs
.
Dantes
,
struck
with
the
beauty
and
capability
of
the
little
vessel
,
applied
to
its
owner
to
transfer
it
to
him
,
offering
sixty
thousand
francs
,
upon
condition
that
he
should
be
allowed
to
take
immediate
possession
.
The
proposal
was
too
advantageous
to
be
refused
,
the
more
so
as
the
person
for
whom
the
yacht
was
intended
had
gone
upon
a
tour
through
Switzerland
,
and
was
not
expected
back
in
less
than
three
weeks
or
a
month
,
by
which
time
the
builder
reckoned
upon
being
able
to
complete
another
.
A
bargain
was
therefore
struck
.
Dantes
led
the
owner
of
the
yacht
to
the
dwelling
of
a
Jew
;
retired
with
the
latter
for
a
few
minutes
to
a
small
back
parlor
,
and
upon
their
return
the
Jew
counted
out
to
the
shipbuilder
the
sum
of
sixty
thousand
francs
in
bright
gold
pieces
.
