"The vicomte might have gone out by way of the garden." "That is not possible," declared the footman. "I locked the gate myself yesterday while the vicomte was in his study." "We must search every nook and corner," said Gontram. "We shall do so," said Fanfaro. "Anselmo can remain under Madame Caraman's care, while Coucou can look in the garden and yard, and we in the house."
Wharton disappeared, and Madame Caraman took advantage of her absence to ask a question. "Has Minnie changed much since that time?" "Oh, yes," replied the captain, his face lighting up with pleasure, "she has grown much handsomer." This was too much for Madame Caraman's composure, and, coughing loudly, she pressed a handkerchief to her lips and vanished through the door.
She burst into tears, and threw her arms around Madame Caraman's neck, and the governess tenderly kissed the young girl. John now opened the door, and told them the carriage was ready. "Forward!" exclaimed Madame Caraman, cheerfully, "and let us pray to God that we return again in good health." On the way to the harbor, Clary wept silently. Madame Caraman wisely kept her thoughts to herself.
Clary blushed deeply, and throwing her arms about Madame Caraman's neck, whispered: "I confess it did not surprise me. I did not wish to wound Monte-Cristo by overtaking him." "Monte-Cristo," murmured Madame Caraman; "ah, my darling, take care." The Crocodile sped swiftly along that day. Clary, who had become tired, went to sleep, while the governess sat in a chair near the bed and dreamed.
Mortimer, if you please, I have to speak to you!" Well, although the banker was an Englishman he was not a friend of horses, and while he with some anxiety looked at the splendid horse and its rider, Clary's animal forgot its manners so far that it commenced without the least ceremony to scrape upon the heavy carpet as if it were in Hyde Park or Rotten Row, and also Madame Caraman's horse neglected the rules of etiquette in that manner that the trainers of his youth deserve punishment for having only partly fulfilled their duty.
Now the town was reached, and Clary adopted a more moderate pace, while she and her companion turned into Troailles Street. Before a palace-like house a halt was made, and through Madame Caraman's head passed suddenly a correct supposition. "Ah, we intend then to pay a visit to the firm of Mortimer & Co.," said she, with surprise; "a strange hour, and the bank will probably not be open yet."
The young man's love for Jane was very great, and when he saw the young girl lying wounded, almost dying, in his arms the world faded from the sight of his intoxicated eyes. Either he must rescue her or go under himself. There was no third road for him. Madame Caraman's information that Jane had disappeared paralyzed him.
