How
so
?
--
at
what
period
can
that
have
been
?
"
"
I
do
not
know
;
I
have
only
heard
that
an
emperor
of
China
had
an
oven
built
expressly
,
and
that
in
this
oven
twelve
jars
like
this
were
successively
baked
.
Two
broke
,
from
the
heat
of
the
fire
;
the
other
ten
were
sunk
three
hundred
fathoms
deep
into
the
sea
.
The
sea
,
knowing
what
was
required
of
her
,
threw
over
them
her
weeds
,
encircled
them
with
coral
,
and
encrusted
them
with
shells
;
the
whole
was
cemented
by
two
hundred
years
beneath
these
almost
impervious
depths
,
for
a
revolution
carried
away
the
emperor
who
wished
to
make
the
trial
,
and
only
left
the
documents
proving
the
manufacture
of
the
jars
and
their
descent
into
the
sea
.
At
the
end
of
two
hundred
years
the
documents
were
found
,
and
they
thought
of
bringing
up
the
jars
.
Divers
descended
in
machines
,
made
expressly
on
the
discovery
,
into
the
bay
where
they
were
thrown
;
but
of
ten
three
only
remained
,
the
rest
having
been
broken
by
the
waves
.
I
am
fond
of
these
jars
,
upon
which
,
perhaps
,
misshapen
,
frightful
monsters
have
fixed
their
cold
,
dull
eyes
,
and
in
which
myriads
of
small
fish
have
slept
,
seeking
a
refuge
from
the
pursuit
of
their
enemies
.
"
Meanwhile
,
Danglars
,
who
had
cared
little
for
curiosities
,
was
mechanically
tearing
off
the
blossoms
of
a
splendid
orange-tree
,
one
after
another
.
When
he
had
finished
with
the
orange-tree
,
he
began
at
the
cactus
;
but
this
,
not
being
so
easily
plucked
as
the
orange-tree
,
pricked
him
dreadfully
.
He
shuddered
,
and
rubbed
his
eyes
as
though
awaking
from
a
dream
.
"
Sir
,
"
said
Monte
Cristo
to
him
,
"
I
do
not
recommend
my
pictures
to
you
,
who
possess
such
splendid
paintings
;
but
,
nevertheless
,
here
are
two
by
Hobbema
,
a
Paul
Potter
,
a
Mieris
,
two
by
Gerard
Douw
,
a
Raphael
,
a
Vandyke
,
a
Zurbaran
,
and
two
or
three
by
Murillo
,
worth
looking
at
.
"
"
Stay
,
"
said
Debray
;
"
I
recognize
this
Hobbema
.
"
"
Ah
,
indeed
!
"
"
Yes
;
it
was
proposed
for
the
Museum
.
"
"
Which
,
I
believe
,
does
not
contain
one
?
"
said
Monte
Cristo
.
"
No
;
and
yet
they
refused
to
buy
it
.
"
"
Why
?

Chateau
