Then getting no reply he came resolutely forward, whilst I drew a pistol wherewith to welcome him did he come too near. On he came, and already I had brought my pistol to a level with his head, when fortunately he repeated his question, "Who goes there?" and this time I recognised the voice of Montresor, the very man I could then most wish to meet. "Hist! Montresor!" I called softly.
Evans' machine that his father was financially interested in. Then Polly and Eleanor had the "speaker's chair" and they told all about Kenneth, his father's patents, and Old Man Montresor's relationship to him. "Why then, if this lad is the direct heir to Montresor, he must inherit the mine!" declared John.
In eight short years after that brilliant season at Venice, Adelaide Montresor, better known as 'La Malanotte, the idol of the European musical public, the short-lived infatuation and passion of the celebrated Rossini, was a hopeless invalid, and worse, presque folle.
