Andrea
had
spoken
very
little
during
dinner
;
he
was
an
intelligent
lad
,
and
he
feared
to
utter
some
absurdity
before
so
many
grand
people
,
amongst
whom
,
with
dilating
eyes
,
he
saw
the
king
's
attorney
.
Then
he
had
been
seized
upon
by
Danglars
,
who
,
with
a
rapid
glance
at
the
stiff-necked
old
major
and
his
modest
son
,
and
taking
into
consideration
the
hospitality
of
the
count
,
made
up
his
mind
that
he
was
in
the
society
of
some
nabob
come
to
Paris
to
finish
the
worldly
education
of
his
heir
.
He
contemplated
with
unspeakable
delight
the
large
diamond
which
shone
on
the
major
's
little
finger
;
for
the
major
,
like
a
prudent
man
,
in
case
of
any
accident
happening
to
his
bank-notes
,
had
immediately
converted
them
into
an
available
asset
.
Then
,
after
dinner
,
on
the
pretext
of
business
,
he
questioned
the
father
and
son
upon
their
mode
of
living
;
and
the
father
and
son
,
previously
informed
that
it
was
through
Danglars
the
one
was
to
receive
his
48,000
francs
and
the
other
50,000
livres
annually
,
were
so
full
of
affability
that
they
would
have
shaken
hands
even
with
the
banker
's
servants
,
so
much
did
their
gratitude
need
an
object
to
expend
itself
upon
.
One
thing
above
all
the
rest
heightened
the
respect
,
nay
almost
the
veneration
,
of
Danglars
for
Cavalcanti
.
The
latter
,
faithful
to
the
principle
of
Horace
,
nil
admirari
,
had
contented
himself
with
showing
his
knowledge
by
declaring
in
what
lake
the
best
lampreys
were
caught
.
Then
he
had
eaten
some
without
saying
a
word
more
;
Danglars
,
therefore
,
concluded
that
such
luxuries
were
common
at
the
table
of
the
illustrious
descendant
of
the
Cavalcanti
,
who
most
likely
in
Lucca
fed
upon
trout
brought
from
Switzerland
,
and
lobsters
sent
from
England
,
by
the
same
means
used
by
the
count
to
bring
the
lampreys
from
Lake
Fusaro
,
and
the
sterlet
from
the
Volga
.
Thus
it
was
with
much
politeness
of
manner
that
he
heard
Cavalcanti
pronounce
these
words
,
"
To-morrow
,
sir
,
I
shall
have
the
honor
of
waiting
upon
you
on
business
.
"
"
And
I
,
sir
,
"
said
Danglars
,
"
shall
be
most
happy
to
receive
you
.
"
Upon
which
he
offered
to
take
Cavalcanti
in
his
carriage
to
the
Hotel
des
Princes
,
if
it
would
not
be
depriving
him
of
the
company
of
his
son
.
To
this
Cavalcanti
replied
by
saying
that
for
some
time
past
his
son
had
lived
independently
of
him
,
that
he
had
his
own
horses
and
carriages
,
and
that
not
having
come
together
,
it
would
not
be
difficult
for
them
to
leave
separately
.
The
major
seated
himself
,
therefore
,
by
the
side
of
Danglars
,
who
was
more
and
more
charmed
with
the
ideas
of
order
and
economy
which
ruled
this
man
,
and
yet
who
,
being
able
to
allow
his
son
60,000
francs
a
year
,
might
be
supposed
to
possess
a
fortune
of
500,000
or
600,000
livres
.
As
for
Andrea
,
he
began
,
by
way
of
showing
off
,
to
scold
his
groom
,
who
,
instead
of
bringing
the
tilbury
to
the
steps
of
the
house
,
had
taken
it
to
the
outer
door
,
thus
giving
him
the
trouble
of
walking
thirty
steps
to
reach
it
.
The
groom
heard
him
with
humility
,
took
the
bit
of
the
impatient
animal
with
his
left
hand
,
and
with
the
right
held
out
the
reins
to
Andrea
,
who
,
taking
them
from
him
,
rested
his
polished
boot
lightly
on
the
step
.
At
that
moment
a
hand
touched
his
shoulder
.
The
young
man
turned
round
,
thinking
that
Danglars
or
Monte
Cristo
had
forgotten
something
they
wished
to
tell
him
,
and
had
returned
just
as
they
were
starting
.
But
instead
of
either
of
these
,
he
saw
nothing
but
a
strange
face
,
sunburnt
,
and
encircled
by
a
beard
,
with
eyes
brilliant
as
carbuncles
,
and
a
smile
upon
the
mouth
which
displayed
a
perfect
set
of
white
teeth
,
pointed
and
sharp
as
the
wolf
's
or
jackal
's
.
A
red
handkerchief
encircled
his
gray
head
;
torn
and
filthy
garments
covered
his
large
bony
limbs
,
which
seemed
as
though
,
like
those
of
a
skeleton
,
they
would
rattle
as
he
walked
;
and
the
hand
with
which
he
leaned
upon
the
young
man
's
shoulder
,
and
which
was
the
first
thing
Andrea
saw
,
seemed
of
gigantic
size
.
Did
the
young
man
recognize
that
face
by
the
light
of
the
lantern
in
his
tilbury
,
or
was
he
merely
struck
with
the
horrible
appearance
of
his
interrogator
?
We
can
not
say
;
but
only
relate
the
fact
that
he
shuddered
and
stepped
back
suddenly
.
"
What
do
you
want
of
me
?
"
he
asked
.
"
Pardon
me
,
my
friend
,
if
I
disturb
you
,
"
said
the
man
with
the
red
handkerchief
,
"
but
I
want
to
speak
to
you
.
"
"
You
have
no
right
to
beg
at
night
,
"
said
the
groom
,
endeavoring
to
rid
his
master
of
the
troublesome
intruder
.
"
I
am
not
begging
,
my
fine
fellow
,
"
said
the
unknown
to
the
servant
,
with
so
ironical
an
expression
of
the
eye
,
and
so
frightful
a
smile
,
that
he
withdrew
;
"
I
only
wish
to
say
two
or
three
words
to
your
master
,
who
gave
me
a
commission
to
execute
about
a
fortnight
ago
.
"
"
Come
,
"
said
Andrea
,
with
sufficient
nerve
for
his
servant
not
to
perceive
his
agitation
,
"
what
do
you
want
?
Speak
quickly
,
friend
.
"
