The snake, aroused by the noise, sprang up and struck Dick a deadly blow. "In a moment he was in convulsions." Wharton paused. The perspiration stood on his forehead and the muscles of his lips twitched. Clary buried her face in her hands, and Madame Caraman prevented herself from fainting by taking a glass of brandy.
You were waiting outside the house and could not have failed to see him." "Oh, Lord! could the gentleman who rode off with the Zouave have been the count?" remarked Madame Caraman, quickly. "No doubt; a slender, pale man, with dark hair."
Could there be anything more romantic than this night trip? The moon lighted up trees and shrubs with a fine white light, and they thus appeared as spectres, who in a maddening quick fear fly along. "It is a great pity that he of blessed memory cannot behold me thus," muttered Madame Caraman to herself; "he would, no doubt, have rejoiced over me."
But with all their shortcomings these compositions are without peer in the literature of the piano. They were published and dedicated as follows: Op. 20, February, 1835, to M. T. Albrecht; op. 31, December, 1837, Comtesse de Furstenstein; op. 39, October, 1840, Adolph Gutmann, and op. 54, December, 1843, Mile, de Caraman.
"Oh, why did you take the weapon from me? I cannot live with this pressure on the breast. The horrible secret pulls me to the ground I am sinking I am sinking! Ah, and she was nevertheless my mother I loved her so I love her yet." With tears in her eyes Mamma Caraman tried to quiet the excited girl, but she could not do so. She pressed lightly on a silver bell which stood near the bed.
"Yes, I guarantee it." "Then I am yours." Let us return to the Vicomte Spero. Three days had passed since Jane Zild had been taken to the elegant house. She still lay motionless and pale, and Madame Caraman never left her bedside. A slight moan from the invalid caused Mamma Caraman to bend over her. "Poor child," she sorrowfully murmured, "she looks as if she were going to die.
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.
Spero, the son of Monte-Cristo, was peacefully sleeping in another room, while, gathered around the table in the dining-room of Fanfaro's house, were Monte-Cristo, Miss Clary, Madame Caraman, Coucou, and Albert de Morcerf, ready to listen to the story of Fanfaro's adventures, which, as narrated at the close of the preceding volume, he was about to begin.
Clary did not mind the remark, and she ordered the groom to get down from his horse and to knock. John, being used to obey punctually the orders of his young mistress, knocked with both fists at the closed gates, and Clary nodded her consent to it. "Listen, Clary," said Madame Caraman, suddenly; "there is dancing in the house."
I did not believe it myself, at first, and as I felt sure you would doubt the story, I took the liberty of bringing the witnesses with me. Caraman and Coucon are here, sir." "Oh! Bobichel, why could you not have said this before? Let me see them at once, and I swear that I will get at the truth!" Fanfar, in addition to his impatience, felt a certain remorse.
