The

third

act

passed

off

as

usual

.

Mesdemoiselles

Noblet

,

Julie

,

and

Leroux

executed

the

customary

pirouettes

;

Robert

duly

challenged

the

Prince

of

Granada

;

and

the

royal

father

of

the

princess

Isabella

,

taking

his

daughter

by

the

hand

,

swept

round

the

stage

with

majestic

strides

,

the

better

to

display

the

rich

folds

of

his

velvet

robe

and

mantle

.

After

which

the

curtain

again

fell

,

and

the

spectators

poured

forth

from

the

theatre

into

the

lobbies

and

salon

.

The

count

left

his

box

,

and

a

moment

later

was

saluting

the

Baronne

Danglars

,

who

could

not

restrain

a

cry

of

mingled

pleasure

and

surprise

.

"

You

are

welcome

,

count

!

"

she

exclaimed

,

as

he

entered

.

"

I

have

been

most

anxious

to

see

you

,

that

I

might

repeat

orally

the

thanks

writing

can

so

ill

express

.

"

"

Surely

so

trifling

a

circumstance

can

not

deserve

a

place

in

your

remembrance

.

Believe

me

,

madame

,

I

had

entirely

forgotten

it

.

"

But

it

is

not

so

easy

to

forget

,

monsieur

,

that

the

very

next

day

after

your

princely

gift

you

saved

the

life

of

my

dear

friend

,

Madame

de

Villefort

,

which

was

endangered

by

the

very

animals

your

generosity

restored

to

me

.

"

"

This

time

,

at

least

,

I

do

not

deserve

your

thanks

.

It

was

Ali

,

my

Nubian

slave

,

who

rendered

this

service

to

Madame

de

Villefort

.

"

"

Was

it

Ali

,

"

asked

the

Count

of

Morcerf

,

"

who

rescued

my

son

from

the

hands

of

bandits

?

"

"

No

,

count

,

"

replied

Monte

Cristo

taking

the

hand

held

out

to

him

by

the

general

;

"

in

this

instance

I

may

fairly

and

freely

accept

your

thanks

;

but

you

have

already

tendered

them

,

and

fully

discharged

your

debt

--

if

indeed

there

existed

one

--

and

I

feel

almost

mortified

to

find

you

still

reverting

to

the

subject

.

May

I

beg

of

you

,

baroness

,

to

honor

me

with

an

introduction

to

your

daughter

?

"

"

Oh

,

you

are

no

stranger

--

at

least

not

by

name

,

"

replied

Madame

Danglars

,

"

and

the

last

two

or

three

days

we

have

really

talked

of

nothing

but

you

.

Eugenie

,

"

continued

the

baroness

,

turning

towards

her

daughter

,

"

this

is

the

Count

of

Monte

Cristo

.

"

The

Count

bowed

,

while

Mademoiselle

Danglars

bent

her

head

slightly

.

"

You

have

a

charming

young

person

with

you

to-night

,

count

,

"

said

Eugenie

.

"

Is

she

your

daughter

?

"

"

No

,

mademoiselle

,

"

said

Monte

Cristo

,

astonished

at

the

coolness

and

freedom

of

the

question

.

"

She

is

a

poor

unfortunate

Greek

left

under

my

care

.
