Some two years later Caspar Caderousse, the keeper of an inn near Beaucaire, was lounging listlessly at his door, when a traveller on horseback dismounted at his door and entered. The visitor Monte Cristo gave the name of Abbe Busoni, and astonished Caderousse by showing a minute knowledge of his earlier history.
Caderousse lingered for a moment, then taking leave of old Dantes, he went downstairs to rejoin Danglars, who awaited him at the corner of the Rue Senac. "Well," said Danglars, "did you see him?" "I have just left him," answered Caderousse. "Did he allude to his hope of being captain?" "He spoke of it as a thing already decided."
'There, there, said La Carconte; 'do you hear that? upon my word, you did well to come back. 'Nevertheless, replied the jeweller, 'if by the time I have finished my supper the tempest has at all abated, I shall make another start. 'It's the mistral, said Caderousse, 'and it will be sure to last till to-morrow morning. He sighed heavily.
"You annoyed, count?" said Beauchamp; "and by what?" "Ah, you think very lightly of it; I should like to see you with a brief preparing in your house." "What brief?" "The one M. de Villefort is preparing against my amiable assassin some brigand escaped from the gallows apparently." "True," said Beauchamp; "I saw it in the paper. Who is this Caderousse?" "Some provincial, it appears.
Danglars followed Edmond and Mercedes with his eyes until the two lovers disappeared behind one of the angles of Fort Saint Nicolas, then turning round, he perceived Fernand, who had fallen, pale and trembling, into his chair, while Caderousse stammered out the words of a drinking-song.
"To the fearful noises that had awakened me had succeeded the most perfect silence unbroken, save by the footsteps of a man walking about in the chamber above. The staircase creaked, he descended into the room below, approached the fire and lit a candle. The man was Caderousse he was pale and his shirt was all bloody.
"Gaspard, Gaspard!" murmured the woman, from her seat on the stairs, "mind what you are saying!" Caderousse made no reply to these words, though evidently irritated and annoyed by the interruption, but, addressing the abbe, said, "Can a man be faithful to another whose wife he covets and desires for himself?
At the moment Caderousse quitted his sentry-like watch before the door, the road on which he so eagerly strained his sight was void and lonely as a desert at mid-day.
"Because there is a little secret, a precaution I thought it desirable to take, one of Huret & Fitchet's locks, revised and improved by Gaspard Caderousse; I will manufacture you a similar one when you are a capitalist." "Thank you," said Andrea; "I will let you know a week beforehand." They parted.
The third, Caderousse, an envious tailor, had allowed himself to be made a tool of to bring to the notice of the authorities the denunciation against the young sailor which Danglars had dictated and Mondego written down. His worst enemy was Villefort, who had now become the procureur du roi at Paris.
