"I hardly dared to hope you would come." "You sent for me, and I have come," replied Gontram. "Please sit down and listen to me." Gontram took a seat next to Carmen. "Monsieur Gontram, do you love me?" she suddenly asked. Gontram trembled. "Mademoiselle Carmen," he earnestly said, "I will answer your question candidly.
Just as he reached the stairs, Monsieur de Larsagny and his daughter, whom Gontram escorted, and Count Vellini and his secretary came down. "Vicomte," said Carmen, vivaciously, "you are a hero, and the rest of the gentlemen can take you for an example." Monsieur de Larsagny coughed slightly, while Fagiano loudly cried: "The vicomte is the worthy son of his father, the great count."
"Banish the black thoughts," whispered Gontram to the young man, "come and talk a little to the diva; she appears to expect it." "Mademoiselle," he said, turning to Jane, "here is one of your most enthusiastic admirers, who would consider himself happy if you would make a tour of the gallery with him."
Tearing the window open, Benedetto swung himself on the sill. He looked into the dark waters of the Seine, and firmly muttered: "Forward! Down there is hope; here, death!" Fanfaro, Gontram, Carmen, Bobichel and Coucou now hurried into the hall. Benedetto looked at them with flaming eye, and mockingly cried: "You are too late! I have killed Monte-Cristo's son!"
Nineteen knocks. "S," whispered Carmen. Seven knocks. Ten knocks. Two knocks. Twenty knocks. Carmen now read the meaning of this: "There is an iron door under the wall decoration." Coucou soon found the secret door. At the end of five minutes Fanfaro, Bobichel and Gontram were again with their friends.
Yes, I love you, love you warmly and tenderly, and if I have hesitated to tell you so, it was because I did not think myself worthy of you. "Oh, keep still keep still!" "But, Mademoiselle Carmen," said Gontram, "you know you can rely on me!" For a time they were both silent. "Listen to me," she finally said; "I hope you will not misunderstand me.
"Ah, really, every one does as he pleases," said Gontram. "Do you know I came here to-day to ask a favor of you?" "You couldn't do me a greater pleasure," replied Spero, cheerfully; "everything I possess is at your disposal." "I thought so; the next time you will offer me your millions," cried Gontram, laughing. "I hope you will ask me for something besides wretched money," said Spero, warmly.
"A confession? Have you any debts? You know very well " "That your purse is open to me I know, but I want to make a loan with your heart." "Speak quickly; what is the matter?" "It is about the solution of a problem which has already brought many a man to the brink of despair." "Gontram!" "Yes, look at me; it is unfortunately true.
I touched it with the instrument." "Do you think you can remove the bullet?" asked the painter. "I hope so." The vicomte motioned to Gontram to hand him the box again, and taking a bistoury and a pincette he bent over the unconscious girl again. An anxious moment passed and then Spero triumphantly exclaimed: "Saved!" "Saved," repeated Gontram as he took the murderous lead from the vicomte's hand.
"That is what I call luck," said Fanfaro. "Monsieur Gontram, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fanfaro. I am an honest man, and devoted to the Count of Monte-Cristo and his son. I fear all is not right with our friends." "Why not? What has happened?" asked Gontram. "You shall soon find out, but first let us go inside." With these words Fanfaro preceded the others and entered the vestibule.
