"Thank Heaven you have come, mademoiselle." "You haven't found Gontram yet?" "No." "Monsieur Gontram and his comrades are in subterranean chambers in this house." "Knock at the walls, Coucou," said Madame Caraman, "and then we can wait for an answer." Coucou knocked three times with a hammer against the wall. At the end of the second knock came back in answer twenty-five.
"Come with confidence to us," replied Maldar, earnestly. "In the citadel I will discuss your son's ransom with you." "Do not go, master," cried Coucou; "they are laying a trap for you." Monte-Cristo strode, nevertheless, toward the door. "Maldar," the count cried aloud, "I am here." The door was opened. Monte-Cristo went into a large courtyard. Maldar was waiting for him.
"Yes, I am Medje," she proudly answered, throwing back her veil and revealing a countenance of superb beauty. Coucou now hastened up, and as he beheld the young Arabian, he excitedly exclaimed: "Medje, commander, it is Medje. Ask her where her 'little papa' is."

"Evidently," said the clerk, "the count is a traveller who came down with us in Pierrotin's coucou; if it hadn't been for the politeness of a young man he'd have come as a rabbit." "A rabbit! in Pierrotin's coucou!" exclaimed Moreau and the poultry-girl together. "I am sure of it, from what this girl is now saying," said Georges. "How so?" asked the steward.
Oscar, furious at being called a "little young man," remarked, as the other two were lighting their cigars: "I am not the aide-de-camp of Mina, monsieur, and I have not yet been to the East, but I shall probably go there. The career to which my family destine me will spare me, I trust, the annoyances of travelling in a coucou before I reach your present age.
"I'll bet whatever you like," repeated Georges, incisively, "that monsieur here is covered with stars." "Well," said the count, laughing, "I have the grand cross of the Legion of honor, that of Saint Andrew of Russia, that of the Prussian Eagle, that of the Annunciation of Sardinia, and the Golden Fleece." "Beg pardon," said Mistigris, "are they all in the coucou?"
"I will answer for your life, but you must obey my orders." "Here I am," said Coucou, coming forward. "Master, let me follow you. I know the lion and understand how to fight him." "Master, take my life, but spare your own," implored Jacopo. "Jacopo, Coucou," said the count, "I intrust Spero to you, and let no one fire until I do. The first shot belongs to me.
Compliments from him mean something, for nobody has better nerve. In the evening Captain Gerard, in command of army aviation, called me and said: 'You are a nervy pilot, all right; you won't spoil our reputation by lack of pluck quite the contrary. For a beginner! and he asked me how long I had been a corporal. Y a bon. My 'coucou' is superb, with its parts all dated in red.
Monte-Cristo and Albert rode slowly near Fanfaro, while Coucou and Gratillet kept the ladies company. The Zouave spoke continually with Madame Caraman. "Tell me," said Coucou, "how did you come to Africa?" "Because my lady wished it." "That is a bitter disappointment. I had imagined that it was on account of " "You you stupid fool!"
