No

replied

the

countess

,

"

it

was

certainly

empty

during

the

first

act

;

"

then

,

resuming

the

subject

of

their

previous

conversation

,

she

said

,

"

And

so

you

really

believe

it

was

your

mysterious

Count

of

Monte

Cristo

that

gained

the

prize

?

"

"

I

am

sure

of

it

.

"

"

And

who

afterwards

sent

the

cup

to

me

?

"

"

Undoubtedly

.

"

"

But

I

do

n't

know

him

,

"

said

the

countess

;

"

I

have

a

great

mind

to

return

it

.

"

"

Do

no

such

thing

,

I

beg

of

you

;

he

would

only

send

you

another

,

formed

of

a

magnificent

sapphire

,

or

hollowed

out

of

a

gigantic

ruby

.

It

is

his

way

,

and

you

must

take

him

as

you

find

him

.

"

At

this

moment

the

bell

rang

to

announce

the

drawing

up

of

the

curtain

for

the

second

act

.

Albert

rose

to

return

to

his

place

.

"

Shall

I

see

you

again

?

"

asked

the

countess

.

"

At

the

end

of

the

next

act

,

with

your

permission

,

I

will

come

and

inquire

whether

there

is

anything

I

can

do

for

you

in

Paris

?

"

"

Pray

take

notice

,

"

said

the

countess

,

"

that

my

present

residence

is

22

Rue

de

Rivoli

,

and

that

I

am

at

home

to

my

friends

every

Saturday

evening

.

So

now

,

you

are

both

forewarned

.

"

The

young

men

bowed

,

and

quitted

the

box

.

Upon

reaching

their

stalls

,

they

found

the

whole

of

the

audience

in

the

parterre

standing

up

and

directing

their

gaze

towards

the

box

formerly

possessed

by

the

Russian

ambassador

.

A

man

of

from

thirty-five

to

forty

years

of

age

,

dressed

in

deep

black

,

had

just

entered

,

accompanied

by

a

young

woman

dressed

after

the

Eastern

style

.

The

lady

was

surpassingly

beautiful

,

while

the

rich

magnificence

of

her

attire

drew

all

eyes

upon

her

.

"

Hullo

,

"

said

Albert

;

"

it

is

Monte

Cristo

and

his

Greek

!

"

The

strangers

were

,

indeed

,

no

other

than

the

count

and

Haidee

.

In

a

few

moments

the

young

girl

had

attracted

the

attention

of

the

whole

house

,

and

even

the

occupants

of

the

boxes

leaned

forward

to

scrutinize

her

magnificent

diamonds

.

The

second

act

passed

away

during

one

continued

buzz

of

voices

--

one

deep

whisper

--

intimating

that

some

great

and

universally

interesting

event

had

occurred

;

all

eyes

,

all

thoughts

,

were

occupied

with

the

young

and

beautiful

woman

,

whose

gorgeous

apparel

and

splendid

jewels

made

a

most

extraordinary

spectacle

.

Upon

this

occasion

an

unmistakable

sign

from

Madame

Danglars

intimated

her

desire

to

see

Albert

in

her

box

directly

the

curtain

fell

on

the

second

act

,

and

neither

the

politeness

nor

good

taste

of

Morcerf

would

permit

his

neglecting

an

invitation

so

unequivocally

given

.

At

the

close

of

the

act

he

therefore

went

to

the

baroness

.

Having

bowed

to

the

two

ladies

,

he

extended

his

hand

to

Debray

.

By

the

baroness

he

was

most

graciously

welcomed

,

while

Eugenie

received

him

with

her

accustomed

coldness

.

"

My

dear

fellow

,

"

said

Debray

,

"

you

have

come

in

the

nick

of

time

.
