"
I
can
not
believe
it
,
"
murmured
the
banker
.
Madame
Danglars
whispered
a
few
words
in
the
ear
of
Debray
,
who
approached
Monte
Cristo
,
saying
,
"
The
baroness
wishes
to
know
what
you
paid
her
husband
for
the
horses
.
"
"
I
scarcely
know
,
"
replied
the
count
;
"
it
was
a
little
surprise
prepared
for
me
by
my
steward
,
and
cost
me
--
well
,
somewhere
about
30,000
francs
.
"
Debray
conveyed
the
count
's
reply
to
the
baroness
.
Poor
Danglars
looked
so
crest-fallen
and
discomfited
that
Monte
Cristo
assumed
a
pitying
air
towards
him
.
"
See
,
"
said
the
count
,
"
how
very
ungrateful
women
are
.
Your
kind
attention
,
in
providing
for
the
safety
of
the
baroness
by
disposing
of
the
horses
,
does
not
seem
to
have
made
the
least
impression
on
her
.
But
so
it
is
;
a
woman
will
often
,
from
mere
wilfulness
,
prefer
that
which
is
dangerous
to
that
which
is
safe
.
Therefore
,
in
my
opinion
,
my
dear
baron
,
the
best
and
easiest
way
is
to
leave
them
to
their
fancies
,
and
allow
them
to
act
as
they
please
,
and
then
,
if
any
mischief
follows
,
why
,
at
least
,
they
have
no
one
to
blame
but
themselves
.
"
Danglars
made
no
reply
;
he
was
occupied
in
anticipations
of
the
coming
scene
between
himself
and
the
baroness
,
whose
frowning
brow
,
like
that
of
Olympic
Jove
,
predicted
a
storm
.
Debray
,
who
perceived
the
gathering
clouds
,
and
felt
no
desire
to
witness
the
explosion
of
Madame
Danglars
'
rage
,
suddenly
recollected
an
appointment
,
which
compelled
him
to
take
his
leave
;
while
Monte
Cristo
,
unwilling
by
prolonging
his
stay
to
destroy
the
advantages
he
hoped
to
obtain
,
made
a
farewell
bow
and
departed
,
leaving
Danglars
to
endure
the
angry
reproaches
of
his
wife
.
"
Excellent
,
"
murmured
Monte
Cristo
to
himself
,
as
he
came
away
.
"
All
has
gone
according
to
my
wishes
.
The
domestic
peace
of
this
family
is
henceforth
in
my
hands
.
Now
,
then
,
to
play
another
master-stroke
,
by
which
I
shall
gain
the
heart
of
both
husband
and
wife
--
delightful
!
Still
,
"
added
he
,
"
amid
all
this
,
I
have
not
yet
been
presented
to
Mademoiselle
Eugenie
Danglars
,
whose
acquaintance
I
should
have
been
glad
to
make
.
But
,
"
he
went
on
with
his
peculiar
smile
,
"
I
am
here
in
Paris
,
and
have
plenty
of
time
before
me
--
by
and
by
will
do
for
that
.
"
With
these
reflections
he
entered
his
carriage
and
returned
home
.
Two
hours
afterwards
,
Madame
Danglars
received
a
most
flattering
epistle
from
the
count
,
in
which
he
entreated
her
to
receive
back
her
favorite
"
dappled
grays
,
"
protesting
that
he
could
not
endure
the
idea
of
making
his
entry
into
the
Parisian
world
of
fashion
with
the
knowledge
that
his
splendid
equipage
had
been
obtained
at
the
price
of
a
lovely
woman
's
regrets
.
The
horses
were
sent
back
wearing
the
same
harness
she
had
seen
on
them
in
the
morning
;
only
,
by
the
count
's
orders
,
in
the
centre
of
each
rosette
that
adorned
either
side
of
their
heads
,
had
been
fastened
a
large
diamond
.
To
Danglars
Monte
Cristo
also
wrote
,
requesting
him
to
excuse
the
whimsical
gift
of
a
capricious
millionaire
,
and
to
beg
the
baroness
to
pardon
the
Eastern
fashion
adopted
in
the
return
of
the
horses
.
During
the
evening
,
Monte
Cristo
quitted
Paris
for
Auteuil
,
accompanied
by
Ali
.
The
following
day
,
about
three
o'clock
,
a
single
blow
struck
on
the
gong
summoned
Ali
to
the
presence
of
the
count
.
"
Ali
,
"
observed
his
master
,
as
the
Nubian
entered
the
chamber
,
"
you
have
frequently
explained
to
me
how
more
than
commonly
skilful
you
are
in
throwing
the
lasso
,
have
you
not
?
"
Ali
drew
himself
up
proudly
,
and
then
returned
a
sign
in
the
affirmative
.
"
I
thought
I
did
not
mistake
.
With
your
lasso
you
could
stop
an
ox
?
"
Again
Ali
repeated
his
affirmative
gesture
.
"
Or
a
tiger
?
"
Ali
bowed
his
head
in
token
of
assent
.
"
A
lion
even
?
"
Ali
sprung
forwards
,
imitating
the
action
of
one
throwing
the
lasso
,
then
of
a
strangled
lion
.
"
I
understand
,
"
said
Monte
Cristo
;
"
you
wish
to
tell
me
you
have
hunted
the
lion
?
"
Ali
smiled
with
triumphant
pride
as
he
signified
that
he
had
indeed
both
chased
and
captured
many
lions
.
"
But
do
you
believe
you
could
arrest
the
progress
of
two
horses
rushing
forwards
with
ungovernable
fury
?
"
The
Nubian
smiled
.
"
It
is
well
,
"
said
Monte
Cristo
.
"
Then
listen
to
me
.
Ere
long
a
carriage
will
dash
past
here
,
drawn
by
the
pair
of
dappled
gray
horses
you
saw
me
with
yesterday
;
now
,
at
the
risk
of
your
own
life
,
you
must
manage
to
stop
those
horses
before
my
door
.
"
Ali
descended
to
the
street
,
and
marked
a
straight
line
on
the
pavement
immediately
at
the
entrance
of
the
house
,
and
then
pointed
out
the
line
he
had
traced
to
the
count
,
who
was
watching
him
.
