"If I weaken, if I seek to betray you, shoot me on the spot! I give you leave! But if you use your pistol, it will be on other game than me! Let us to work!" Leaving the two Italians on guard at the gate, Waldmann and Siebecker, with Bouche-de-Miel between them, went stealthily towards the house, walking on the grass that the sound of their footsteps might be muffled.
Albert touched his arm again. "Don't bother me!" said the man, impatiently, without removing his eyes from space. "Can't you let a fellow dream!" "Baron Danglars!" whispered Morcerf in his ear. "Eh? What?" cried Bouche-de-Miel, coming back to reality with a start, half-sobered by hearing this name. "Baron Danglars," repeated the Captain, in a guarded undertone, "I know you!"
Mange was still watching Morcerf, but saw no sign that he had recognized in Bouche-de-Miel the man for whom he was seeking. This made him uneasy, for it was an indication that the reward his employer had promised him would not be earned. Presently Waldmann and Siebecker were called to another part of the room.
"You are a coward!" said he, savagely. "That woman story you told us was all bosh. You are afraid of meeting Monte-Cristo, as I saw very plainly this morning!" This taunt stung Bouche-de-Miel to the quick and restored to him all his courage. He faced Waldmann unflinchingly and retorted: "I am no coward and I am not afraid of Monte-Cristo!" "Then what is the matter with, you?"
Bouche-de-Miel motioned her from him; then he moved as if to approach her, urged on by a feeling he was altogether unable to master; but Waldmann, still keeping his pistol pointed at Ali and his companions, seized him by the arm with a grip of iron and drew him away. The foiled robbers succeeded in making their escape from the house, and the garden.
