The
feast
had
been
made
ready
on
the
second
floor
at
La
Reserve
,
with
whose
arbor
the
reader
is
already
familiar
.
The
apartment
destined
for
the
purpose
was
spacious
and
lighted
by
a
number
of
windows
,
over
each
of
which
was
written
in
golden
letters
for
some
inexplicable
reason
the
name
of
one
of
the
principal
cities
of
France
;
beneath
these
windows
a
wooden
balcony
extended
the
entire
length
of
the
house
.
And
although
the
entertainment
was
fixed
for
twelve
o'clock
,
an
hour
previous
to
that
time
the
balcony
was
filled
with
impatient
and
expectant
guests
,
consisting
of
the
favored
part
of
the
crew
of
the
Pharaon
,
and
other
personal
friends
of
the
bride-groom
,
the
whole
of
whom
had
arrayed
themselves
in
their
choicest
costumes
,
in
order
to
do
greater
honor
to
the
occasion
.
Various
rumors
were
afloat
to
the
effect
that
the
owners
of
the
Pharaon
had
promised
to
attend
the
nuptial
feast
;
but
all
seemed
unanimous
in
doubting
that
an
act
of
such
rare
and
exceeding
condescension
could
possibly
be
intended
.
Danglars
,
however
,
who
now
made
his
appearance
,
accompanied
by
Caderousse
,
effectually
confirmed
the
report
,
stating
that
he
had
recently
conversed
with
M.
Morrel
,
who
had
himself
assured
him
of
his
intention
to
dine
at
La
Reserve
.
In
fact
,
a
moment
later
M.
Morrel
appeared
and
was
saluted
with
an
enthusiastic
burst
of
applause
from
the
crew
of
the
Pharaon
,
who
hailed
the
visit
of
the
shipowner
as
a
sure
indication
that
the
man
whose
wedding
feast
he
thus
delighted
to
honor
would
ere
long
be
first
in
command
of
the
ship
;
and
as
Dantes
was
universally
beloved
on
board
his
vessel
,
the
sailors
put
no
restraint
on
their
tumultuous
joy
at
finding
that
the
opinion
and
choice
of
their
superiors
so
exactly
coincided
with
their
own
.
With
the
entrance
of
M.
Morrel
,
Danglars
and
Caderousse
were
despatched
in
search
of
the
bride-groom
to
convey
to
him
the
intelligence
of
the
arrival
of
the
important
personage
whose
coming
had
created
such
a
lively
sensation
,
and
to
beseech
him
to
make
haste
.
Danglars
and
Caderousse
set
off
upon
their
errand
at
full
speed
;
but
ere
they
had
gone
many
steps
they
perceived
a
group
advancing
towards
them
,
composed
of
the
betrothed
pair
,
a
party
of
young
girls
in
attendance
on
the
bride
,
by
whose
side
walked
Dantes
'
father
;
the
whole
brought
up
by
Fernand
,
whose
lips
wore
their
usual
sinister
smile
.
Neither
Mercedes
nor
Edmond
observed
the
strange
expression
of
his
countenance
;
they
were
so
happy
that
they
were
conscious
only
of
the
sunshine
and
the
presence
of
each
other
.
Having
acquitted
themselves
of
their
errand
,
and
exchanged
a
hearty
shake
of
the
hand
with
Edmond
,
Danglars
and
Caderousse
took
their
places
beside
Fernand
and
old
Dantes
--
the
latter
of
whom
attracted
universal
notice
.
The
old
man
was
attired
in
a
suit
of
glistening
watered
silk
,
trimmed
with
steel
buttons
,
beautifully
cut
and
polished
.
His
thin
but
wiry
legs
were
arrayed
in
a
pair
of
richly
embroidered
clocked
stockings
,
evidently
of
English
manufacture
,
while
from
his
three-cornered
hat
depended
a
long
streaming
knot
of
white
and
blue
ribbons
.
Thus
he
came
along
,
supporting
himself
on
a
curiously
carved
stick
,
his
aged
countenance
lit
up
with
happiness
,
looking
for
all
the
world
like
one
of
the
aged
dandies
of
1796
,
parading
the
newly
opened
gardens
of
the
Tuileries
and
Luxembourg
.
Beside
him
glided
Caderousse
,
whose
desire
to
partake
of
the
good
things
provided
for
the
wedding-party
had
induced
him
to
become
reconciled
to
the
Dantes
,
father
and
son
,
although
there
still
lingered
in
his
mind
a
faint
and
unperfect
recollection
of
the
events
of
the
preceding
night
;
just
as
the
brain
retains
on
waking
in
the
morning
the
dim
and
misty
outline
of
a
dream
.
