We
know
who
those
"
honest
people
"
were
,
of
whom
Cousin
Benedict
did
not
dream
of
complaining
.
Besides
,
it
has
been
stated
,
the
entomologist
had
enjoyed
a
half
liberty
in
Negoro
's
and
Harris
's
company
,
a
liberty
of
which
Dick
Sand
had
absolutely
deprived
him
during
the
voyage
from
the
coast
to
the
Coanza
.
The
simple-hearted
savant
had
been
very
much
touched
by
that
condescension
.
Finally
,
Cousin
Benedict
would
be
the
happiest
of
entomologists
if
he
had
not
suffered
a
loss
to
which
he
was
extremely
sensitive
.
He
still
possessed
his
tin
box
,
but
his
glasses
no
longer
rested
on
his
nose
,
his
magnifying
glass
no
longer
hung
from
his
neck
!
Now
,
a
naturalist
without
his
magnifying
glass
and
his
spectacles
,
no
longer
exists
.
Cousin
Benedict
,
however
,
was
destined
never
to
see
those
two
optical
attendants
again
,
because
they
had
been
buried
with
the
royal
manikin
.
So
,
when
he
found
some
insect
,
he
was
reduced
to
thrusting
it
into
his
eyes
to
distinguish
its
most
prominent
peculiarities
.
Ah
!
it
was
a
great
loss
to
Cousin
Benedict
,
and
he
would
have
paid
a
high
price
for
a
pair
of
spectacles
,
but
that
article
was
not
current
on
the
lakonis
of
Kazounde
.
At
all
events
,
Cousin
Benedict
could
go
and
come
in
Jose-Antonio
Alvez
's
establishment
.
They
knew
he
was
incapable
of
seeking
to
flee
.
Besides
,
a
high
palisade
separated
the
factory
from
the
other
quarters
of
the
city
,
and
it
would
not
be
easy
to
get
over
it
.
But
,
if
it
was
well
enclosed
,
this
enclosure
did
not
measure
less
than
a
mile
in
circumference
.
Trees
,
bushes
of
a
kind
peculiar
to
Africa
,
great
herbs
,
a
few
rivulets
,
the
thatch
of
the
barracks
and
the
huts
,
were
more
than
necessary
to
conceal
the
continent
's
rarest
insects
,
and
to
make
Cousin
Benedict
's
happiness
,
at
least
,
if
not
his
fortune
.
In
fact
,
he
discovered
some
hexapodes
,
and
nearly
lost
his
eyesight
in
trying
to
study
them
without
spectacles
.
But
,
at
least
,
he
added
to
his
precious
collection
,
and
laid
the
foundation
of
a
great
work
on
African
entomology
.
If
his
lucky
star
would
let
him
discover
a
new
insect
,
to
which
he
would
attach
his
name
,
he
would
have
nothing
more
to
desire
in
this
world
!
If
Alvez
's
establishment
was
sufficiently
large
for
Cousin
Benedict
's
scientific
promenades
,
it
seemed
immense
to
little
Jack
,
who
could
walk
about
there
without
restraint
.
But
the
child
took
little
interest
in
the
pleasures
so
natural
to
his
age
.
He
rarely
quitted
his
mother
,
who
did
not
like
to
leave
him
alone
,
and
always
dreaded
some
misfortune
.
Little
Jack
often
spoke
of
his
father
,
whom
he
had
not
seen
for
so
long
.
He
asked
to
be
taken
back
to
him
.
He
inquired
after
all
,
for
old
Nan
,
for
his
friend
Hercules
,
for
Bat
,
for
Austin
,
for
Acteon
,
and
for
Dingo
,
that
appeared
,
indeed
,
to
have
deserted
him
.
He
wished
to
see
his
comrade
,
Dick
Sand
,
again
.
His
young
imagination
was
very
much
affected
,
and
only
lived
in
those
remembrances
.
To
his
questions
Mrs.
Weldon
could
only
reply
by
pressing
him
to
her
heart
,
while
covering
him
with
kisses
.
All
that
she
could
do
was
not
to
cry
before
him
.
Meanwhile
,
Mrs.
Weldon
had
not
failed
to
observe
that
,
if
bad
treatment
had
been
spared
her
during
the
journey
from
the
Coanza
,
nothing
in
Alvez
's
establishment
indicated
that
there
would
be
any
change
of
conduct
in
regard
to
her
.
There
were
in
the
factory
only
the
slaves
in
the
trader
's
service
.
All
the
others
,
which
formed
the
object
of
his
trade
,
had
been
penned
up
in
the
barracks
of
the
tchitoka
,
then
sold
to
the
brokers
from
the
interior
.
Now
,
the
storehouses
of
the
establishment
were
overflowing
with
stuffs
and
ivory
.
The
stuffs
were
intended
to
be
exchanged
in
the
provinces
of
the
center
,
the
ivory
to
be
exported
from
the
principal
markets
of
the
continent
.
In
fact
,
then
,
there
were
few
people
in
the
factory
.
Mrs.
Weldon
and
Jack
occupied
a
hut
apart
;
Cousin
Benedict
another
.
They
did
not
communicate
with
the
trader
's
servants
.
They
ate
together
.
The
food
,
consisting
of
goat
's
flesh
or
mutton
,
vegetables
,
tapioca
,
sorgho
,
and
the
fruits
of
the
country
,
was
sufficient
.
Halima
,
a
young
slave
,
was
especially
devoted
to
Mrs.
Weldon
's
service
.
In
her
way
,
and
as
she
could
,
she
even
evinced
for
her
a
kind
of
savage
,
but
certainty
sincere
,
affection
.
