Fanfaro arose, opened his mouth as if he wished to speak, stretched out his arms, turned around in a circle, and then fell heavily to the floor! Loud cries broke forth. "He has committed suicide," some cried. "He has been poisoned," came from others, and all rushed toward the unconscious man.
"His mother!" came a whisper behind Fanfaro, and turning hastily round he saw Caillette who stood at the door with tears in her eyes with Bobichel, who said: "Caillette will take care of the invalid until we have found Louison; I say that we move heaven and earth so that we find her."
"Ah, Monsieur Fanfaro," said the landlord vivaciously, "Heaven sends you at the right time. Forget all the troubles and the cares I have caused you; I will never say another word against athletes and acrobats, but help us!" "What has happened?" asked Fanfaro in astonishment. "I just came home and found every one in the restaurant excited. I asked, but no one knew anything, so I hurried here.
Before the giant could speak Irene said: "I do not ask very much. I would like to look at the performance, but naturally would not like to sit with the crowd. You know, peasants and such common people " "H'm!" growled Girdel. "It is impossible," said Fanfaro, coolly. "Impossible?" repeated the young lady in amazement. "But, Fanfaro," interrupted Girdel, "I should think we could do it.
"If Robeckal had a hand in the affair then it can only be a scoundrelly one!" exclaimed Fanfaro, with a frown. "Do you know him?" "Unfortunately, yes; tell me what more do you know?" "Not much. The 'Marquise' lives with an old, poor crazy woman, who lost her reason and the use of her limbs at a fire. The young girl, whose name is Louison " "Louison?" cried Fanfaro, in affright.
They stopped in front of No. 16, and it required the application of force to get them to enter. Rolla, in advance of the others, went to the top story. The door was wide open and the room empty. "Really, he has taken her along?" she exclaimed in amazement. "Of whom are you speaking?" asked Fanfaro, trembling with fear. "Of whom else but the little vicomte." "His name?" "Talizac."
Madame Caraman carried Spero into the house. Monte-Cristo examined the patient carefully, and breathed more lightly. "A few days' rest will set him all right again," he said, turning to Fanfaro, "and if we can make use of your friendship " "Count, what I possess is yours. But let me introduce you to the colony," said Fanfaro.
"Yes, you are right," replied Irene, embracing Louison, and, gently leading her to her room, she sat down beside her and hastily told her what she knew about the conspiracy and the part Fanfaro took in it. Bobichel put in a word here and there, and when Irene had finished he said with a smile: "Mademoiselle, in your eagerness to read one of the letters you forgot to open the other."
"Doctor Albaret, as I was informed." "Then rely on me, countess," cried the athlete, rushing away; "either I rescue Fanfaro or else I die with him." Bobichel unfortunately had not said too much. The fact that Fanfaro had dropped dead so suddenly had caused great excitement in the scientific world, and Dr. Albaret, the king's private physician, was the first to propose the autopsy.
Ah, that infamous Talizac! again and again he crosses my path; but if I catch him now, I will stamp upon him like a worm!" "Do you intend to follow the robbers?" "Certainly, I must rescue the girl." "Monsieur Fanfaro," said Montferrand, "do with me what you will, I will help you!"
