Cousin
Benedict
was
so
much
surprised
at
the
abandonment
,
that
he
at
once
considered
the
reason
for
it
,
and
he
was
soon
convinced
that
the
emigration
had
been
recent
.
In
fact
,
he
did
not
wait
,
but
,
descending
to
the
lower
part
of
the
cone
,
and
taking
the
lantern
,
he
commenced
to
examine
the
most
secret
corners
of
the
ant-hill
.
He
thus
discovered
what
is
called
the
"
general
store-house
"
of
the
termites
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
place
where
these
industrious
insects
lay
up
the
provisions
of
the
colony
.
It
was
a
cavity
hollowed
in
the
wall
,
not
far
from
the
royal
cell
,
which
Hercules
's
labor
had
destroyed
,
along
with
the
cells
destined
for
the
young
larvae
.
In
this
store-room
Cousin
Benedict
collected
a
certain
quantity
of
particles
of
gum
and
the
juices
of
plants
,
scarcely
solidified
,
which
proved
that
the
termites
had
lately
brought
them
from
without
.
"
Well
,
no
!
"
cried
he
.
"
No
!
"
as
if
he
were
replying
to
some
contradiction
,
"
No
,
this
ant-hill
has
not
been
long
abandoned
.
"
"
Who
says
to
the
contrary
,
Mr.
Benedict
?
"
said
Dick
Sand
.
"
Recently
or
not
,
the
important
thing
for
us
is
that
the
termites
have
left
it
,
because
we
have
to
take
their
place
.
"
"
The
important
thing
,
"
replied
Cousin
Benedict
,
"
will
be
to
know
why
they
have
left
it
.
Yesterday
--
this
morning
,
perhaps
--
these
sagacious
newroptera
were
still
here
,
because
,
see
these
liquid
juices
;
and
this
evening
--
--
"
"
Well
,
what
do
you
conclude
,
Mr.
Benedict
?
"
asked
Dick
Sand
.
"
That
a
secret
presentiment
has
caused
them
to
abandon
the
cone
.
Not
only
have
all
the
termites
left
their
cells
,
but
they
have
taken
care
to
carry
away
the
young
larvae
,
of
which
I
can
not
find
one
.
Well
,
I
repeat
that
all
this
was
not
done
without
a
motive
,
and
that
these
sagacious
insects
foresaw
some
near
danger
.
"
"
They
foresaw
that
we
were
going
to
invade
their
dwelling
,
"
