An accident had brought Signor Fagiano and Monsieur de Larsagny together. Hardly had the secretary caught a glimpse of the banker than he recoiled in affright and nearly fell to the ground. Larsagny sprang to his rescue, but Fagiano muttered an excuse and hastily left the parlor. Carmen and her companion were witnesses of the meeting, and Gontram felt the young girl's arm tremble.
Gontram frowned, and whispered softly to the young artist: "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Raoul." Carmen, however, laughed, and carelessly said: "Let him alone; I knew the story long ago."
"There is the secret way in which Jane and Spero have disappeared," cried Gontram; "Jane has, no doubt, been abducted. The piece of white satin in the crack must have belonged to the bed-cover, for Madame Caraman told me the cover had disappeared at the same time as the girl. Spero knew of this exit and probably had reasons for leaving the house secretly.
In a few words Carmen related what had brought her there, and showed the letter she had taken from Larsagny. "In Courbevoie!" cried Gontram. "How shall we find Spero there?" "I know the house," said Carmen; "it belongs to the banker, and I believe we shall find the vicomte there." "May God grant it." Ten minutes later they were all on the road to Courbevoie.
When the Vicomte of Monte-Cristo was announced at your soiree the other evening, Monsieur de Larsagny became pale as death, his eyes stared at the young man as if he had been a spectre, and, under pretence of seeking a cooler spot, he hurriedly left the room." "Yes, I remember," said Gontram. "As you know, shortly afterward we went out on the balcony and heard two voices quarrelling.
"Because danger threatens him, and I want you to warn him." "What is the nature of the danger?" asked Gontram. "Powerful enemies are united against him, and if we are not more prudent they will crush both him and us." "Enemies! Who could be an enemy of Spero?" "One of the enemies is Monsieur de Larsagny!" "And the other?" "Have you noticed the Count of Vellini's secretary?" "Signor Fagiano?
While the young painter was breakfasting with Spero, a perfumed note was sent up to his residence in the Rue Montaigne, wherein Jane Zild declared her willingness to appear in the painter's parlors and sing a few songs. Gontram did not say no, and immediately hurried to the diva's house to thank her. Spero had entered just behind the songstress, and Gontram smiled when he saw the vicomte.
You frighten me," said Gontram, uneasily. "Gontram," began the vicomte, "you have confidence in me?" "Certainly; but what have we to do with that now? You know that I esteem you " "And you do not think me capable of deceiving or lying to you?" "Spero, I do not know you any more," cried Gontram, more and more confused.
Columbanus, a monk of Bangor in Ireland, accompanied by twelve brethren, arrived in France, having passed through Britain. After the example of St. Columcille in Caledonia, they traveled to the court of Gontram, king of Burgundy, in order to secure his help and protection.
"The conversation was now carried on in such a low tone that I could not understand what was being said. I hurried to my room and made up my mind to draw you into my confidence." "I thank you, Carmen," cried Gontram; "Spero is a friend, a brother, and I would gladly offer up my life to save his." "Of whom could Fagiano have spoken when he said: 'She is in my power?" asked Carmen. "I hardly know.
