As he uttered those words, Léon kissed the tips of his fingers to Louise and Joliette, and lightly ran from the salon. When he had disappeared the Captain folded Mlle. d'Armilly in his arms and kissed her tenderly upon the forehead. "Oh! Louise," said he, enthusiastically, "I love you more and more every day!"
The young girl bowed low in token of obedience, and the count began: "So you know Captain Joliette?" "Yes, he saved my life, and thereby became my lord and master." "You know who has captured him?" "Yes, they are the enemies of my race as they are of yours. They are called the Ajassuas and fear nothing and nobody oh, they are the emissaries from the regions below!" "Are they masters of Uargla?"
"Yes, in order to search for Captain Joliette; the count " "I know all," said Clary, hastily placing her finger upon the governess's lips; "they are going, but it is all chance " "Yes, all chance work in a desert. It is terrible! Think only of the simoom, the sand, the Kabyles, and the wild animals!" "Have you the map of Algiers at hand?" "Yes, here is the atlas."
Remember I am a father, and have a father's duty to perform. I will lead the pursuit." Captain Joliette bowed. "So be it," said he, "it is your right." Coucon, Fanfar, Gratillet and Iron Jaws eagerly offered their services, and even Bobichel forgot his merry pranks and demanded to accompany the expedition.
Morrel has received a regiment, and Joliette is Chef d'Escadron of Spahis. Luckily for aspirants, and thanks to disease and slaughter, there is no lack of vacancies." "The name of Morrel I have seen before in the 'Moniteur, but Joliette who is he?" "A sort of protégé of Bugeaud, 'tis said.
For a long while Mlle. d' Armilly did not glance at the box occupied by Captain Joliette and the Count of Monte-Cristo, and it was not until the former threw her a costly wreath of flowers that she turned her eyes in that direction. She was about bowing her acknowledgments, when her gaze rested upon the stately form of the Count.
Monte-Cristo, who, in the face of the new dangers that threatened his son, had recovered somewhat of his accustomed calmness, came to them and said: "I thank you, Miss Elphys, for your generosity and bravery, but you must take the Captain's advice. Captain Joliette, I fully appreciate your motives in wishing to take command in this pursuit, but, at the same time, I must claim the precedence.
Captain Joliette rushed to Mlle. d' Armilly's dressing-room and the Count of Monte-Cristo wended his way back to the Palazzo Costi, utterly bewildered by what had taken place. A full account of his life and of Espérance's remarkable career will be found in that absorbing novel, "The Son of Monte-Cristo," published complete and unabridged by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia.
The Mare Nostrum crossed the outer port, the inner harbor of Joliette, and slipped slowly along past groups of pedestrians and carts that were waiting the closing of the steel drawbridge now opening before their prow. Then they cast anchor in the basin of Arenc near the docks. When Ferragut could go ashore he noticed the great transformation which this port had undergone in war times.
Neither the Zouave nor Madame Caraman heard the half-suppressed exclamation, which had just occurred close to the veranda; Madame Caraman felt astonished, and rising suddenly asked almost breathlessly: "If I understand rightly, then, the Count of Monte-Cristo intends searching the Sahara for Captain Joliette?" "Yes, that is the case, and I accompany him.
