Fanfaro heard through him that Spero had not left the Monte-Cristo palace for three days, and could not imagine what was the cause of it. Anselmo now began to groan. Fanfaro bent over the invalid, and thought he heard the words: "My daughter my poor child ah, is she dead?" "Who is dead?" asked Fanfaro. "Ah, she plunged into the water she is drowned," groaned Anselmo.
"The more simple was I to look for any other in the son of Darnley and the pupil of Buchanan," said she, "but a mother's heart is slow to give up her trust." "And is there now no hope?" asked Cicely. "Hope, child? Dum spiro, spero. The hope of coming forth honourably to him and to Elizabeth is at an end.
"My child," sadly replied Monte-Cristo, "man's worst enemy is man!" "Papa!" suddenly exclaimed Spero, "see, there, the flag!" The count glanced in the direction indicated. A young Italian had just climbed up the tower of a church opposite the Vidiserti palace, and there unfurled the national standard. The tricolor fluttered gayly in the wind.
Spero's carriage had driven up in front of the house almost simultaneously with that of the diva, and Spero assisted the young lady to alight. When the vicomte entered the parlor, he felt humiliated when he saw all eyes turned in the direction of the diva. No one seemed to care to notice the heir of the Count of Monte-Cristo. Jane Zild strode the rooms with the dignity of a queen. "Heavenly!
"You now see, Camille," said Spero, resorting at last to language which I could clearly understand, "that life on Mars has developed as peacefully and nobly as it began. There is no break between our vegetable kingdom and our animal kingdom. We are nourished, like your plants, trees, and herbs, by the air which we breathe.
The count nodded and, addressing the Corsican, said: "Give him double what he claims. In my home no attention is paid to magic; we honor God and laugh at demons." He slowly entered his tent, and gazing at Spero and Medje, in a friendly tone of voice said: "Do not be afraid, I am protecting you. Draw nearer, Medje, and answer my questions."
She formed the centre of a wild orgy; glasses rang, coarse songs and oaths were heard from the lips of a crowd of shameless men and women who surrounded Jane, and uttering a loud cry Spero buried his face in his hands. As we have stated, Gontram had given a note to Coucou to deliver to Carmen. When the Jackal reached the palace in the Rue Rivoli he stopped in amazement.
She asked no questions, but, with the vicomte's assistance, placed a bandage upon the young girl's wound and wished to discreetly retire. "Mamma Caraman," said Spero, imploringly, "stay here and watch over the young girl whom I place under your protection. Let no one know that she is in this house." Spero thereupon withdrew, while Jane Zild remained under the care of the good-hearted woman.
"But no," he added, flaming up; "the enemies of the great count shall not say that his son is not a worthy scion! I will crush them if they touch a hair of Jane's head. My father did not name me Spero for nothing. So long as I breathe I can hope. I will not despair, I will conquer!"
Herbert mentions that Dum spiro spero was a favourite motto with Charles, inscribed by him on many books. Of course there were continued negotiations between Charles and the Parliament. Anything done in this way, however, during the four months of the stay at Holmby, hardly deserves notice.
