Margari accomplished the task with tolerable dexterity. He only broke the looking-glass while he was opening the casket, and that was little enough for him. There the documents were right enough, nicely tied together. And then Henrietta seized his hand and pressed it so warmly and looked at him with her lovely, piteous, imploring eyes a very lunatic might have been healed by such a look.
Once or twice an unusually interesting episode excited the old man's attention, and for the time he forgot all about John's duel for example, when Monte Cristo discovered the enormous treasure on the island and he would then rouse up Margari and make him go and find a map and point out the exact position of Monte Cristo's island.
She discovered from Clementina's lamentations that they had still a three days' journey before they reached home, and that they would spend the coming night at the castle of Count Kengyelesy. The coachmen had told Margari so, and he passed the news on to Clementina.

'I will not be content, comrade, my lord baron used to say to my lord count, 'till one of us is reduced to his last jacket, and as soon as one of us is absolutely beggared, the other will hold himself bound to maintain him, in a way befitting a gentleman till the day of his death. Strange men these, madame, eh!"
By the morning all the punch was drunk, but the translation also was finished, to the tune of bacchanalian songs which Margari kept up with great spirit all night long. Next day, punctually at the appointed hour, the lawyer, Mr.
One day the gentlemen with their beaters, rangers, dogs, and carts, had all gone off to the forest as usual, and Henrietta was left alone in the castle with Clementina, Margari, and the domestics. As for Margari, he would not have gone to the woods for all the bears in the world.
