'Either you or no one, I thought, and firmly resolved to attempt the rescue of my angel." The "angel" tried in vain to allay her husband's excitement. Madame Caraman could hardly restrain her laughter whenever she looked at the angel. Clary, on the other hand, preserved her gravity, and calmly said: "I appreciate your feelings, captain; continue." Wharton bowed profoundly and proceeded.
Farewell for to-day, by daybreak we meet again." Monte-Cristo left the liquor store, the Spider and Jacopo looked after him with a glimpse of new awakening hope in their eyes. While Clary and her governess rode to Marseilles at a late hour, Madame Caraman was devoured with curiosity; but she was, nevertheless, sensible enough not to ask any question of her stubborn ward.
"I was once young myself," she muttered to herself, "and I know how it looks in an eighteen-year-old girl's heart. Yes, if I were twenty years younger, I don't know but that I would fall in love with this Count of Monte-Cristo myself." Had Madame Caraman discovered Clary's secret? Jack Wharton was not one of those men who mean something else than what they say.
The man lifted the inert form in his arms, and slowly, with infinite precautions, he moved toward the portière, which he pushes aside and disappears. Ah! Madame Caraman, ah! Esperance, you little know what is going on! This man is Benedetto. His revenge has begun! And in that empty room there is now no other sound than the ticking of the clock.
Throwing himself into a carriage, he drove to the hôtel in the Champs Elysées. He was amazed to find it in total darkness, and when he asked for the Vicomte, was surprised at the embarrassed manner of the Swiss, as well as to hear that Esperance was out, without leaving word when he would return. "And Madame Caraman and Coucon?" "They are out too, sir."
"Mamma Caraman," said Clary, vexed, "how is it that you intend to dish up for me such a childish fable?" "But I am speaking seriously; Dumas has rendered more service for the general education of the people than ten ministers. In his 'Three Guardsmen, for instance, one gets thoroughly acquainted with the histories of Richelieu, Anna of Austria and Louis XIII., in a very interesting manner.
Call me impertinent, madame: but believe my assurance that I speak the real truth. I have seen ladies in all parts of the world, blondes and brunettes, black and white, but I never met one who understood how to win my heart till I this day met you!" Madame Caraman was, indeed, Clary's governess, but she was, first of all, a wife, and Coucou's words were repugnant to her. "A joke?
Ordinance officers: Baron de Mortemart, Baron Athalin, M. Beranger, M. de Lauriston; Messieurs Barons Desaix, Laplace, and de Caraman; Messieurs de Saint Marsan, de Lamezan, Pretet, and Pailhou; there was also M. d'Aremberg, but at this time he was a prisoner in the town of Dantzic. First chamberlain and master of the wardrobe, the Count of Turenne. Prefect of the palace, Baron de Beausset.
Natural as it seemed to the captain, Madame Caraman gazed in open horror, and as soon as she could recover the use of her tongue, she asked for explanations. The captain was not loth to tell his story, and just as he was settling himself comfortably in a chair, Clary exclaimed: "Before you begin, captain, take a look at the yacht."
Madame Caraman followed courageously, and then they stopped in the midst of the vestibule, ornamented with exotic plants, candelabra, and various hangings of the richest and rarest description.
