From Francine's drenched garments water was dripping upon the floor, and the pale face rested on Fanfar's shoulder. The Marquis hastened forward. "Who is this man? What is he doing here?" he cried. "Monsieur," said Fanfar, "a crime has been committed, the guilty must be punished, and this guilt is upon your son's head. You, gentlemen, seem to think that to your rank everything is permitted.
And and I can't tell you what I thought, but did not like to go to the Vicomte. I knew if she was in his room, that he would not like any one to know it. This was an infamous thought on my part, for she is a good girl, I am sure." "Pray, go on with your story, my dear lady," said Fanfar, with a shade of impatience. "We are losing a great deal of precious time." "You are right!
Others again spoke of poison, and arraigned the governor of the prison for carelessness. There was one physician among those who were called in who could not agree with the others. He used a number of scientific expressions, but the fact remained the same Fanfar was dead. But there was so much discussion that a post-mortem examination was deemed essential.
The Count said: 'If you have any especial communication to make to me, you may go to Monsieur Fanfar. That is clear enough. But if I obey the father I disobey the son!" All these arguments failed to satisfy the good woman of the excellence of her cause, for she shook her head several times. She heard a long sigh, and ran to Jane's bed.
Who was this Caillette, who had pretended to take her place, and then disappeared, leaving no trace behind her? "But," said Francine, "who was it who saved me?" "Do you not know?" answered Irène, coloring deeply. "No, I heard you mention a name that I do not know." "Yes, that of Monsieur Fanfar." "Who is he?" Irène looked at her and wondered if in her fever the girl's reason had deserted her.
"Pshaw! one meal each day will certainly prevent your being miserable. Now, why did you poison Fanfar?" The fellow sighed. "Tell me what interest you had in poisoning Fanfar." "I don't know." "That is a lie!" "He can tell you nothing," whispered Irène, "let him go." "No, Mademoiselle. This scoundrel bribed one of the jailers to give Fanfar a drug that would have killed him in five minutes.
Esperance slept, and the lion in him was dormant; it was, however, destined soon to be aroused. In another room, around the family table, Fanfar and his guests were seated, the Count of Monte-Cristo occupying the place of honor.
Coucon will never forsake you. I have taken my old Bertuccio with me. I did not wish you to think that I had left any one to watch you and report to me. In case of danger, summon Fanfar.

Fanfar rolled a barrel upon the stage, on which already stood a curious apparatus of bars and chains. Over this was a platform. The barrel was placed under this platform, and filled with stones. A rim was fitted to this barrel, and it was hoisted a little distance from the ground by a chain. It was this enormous weight that Gudel was to lift with his teeth.
"Hush! This Fanfar was not the Marquis de Fongereues, he was not Simon's son. Do you remember a night which you once spent in a humble cottage at Sachemont?" "Sachemont?" repeated Fongereues. "That night two men claimed the hospitality of an old man. One of these strangers was a Frenchman, but he was base enough to insult the daughter of the old man. He did worse he committed a dastardly crime.
