Having
accomplished
these
three
social
duties
,
Monte
Cristo
stopped
,
looking
around
him
with
that
expression
peculiar
to
a
certain
class
,
which
seems
to
say
,
"
I
have
done
my
duty
,
now
let
others
do
theirs
.
"
Andrea
,
who
was
in
an
adjoining
room
,
had
shared
in
the
sensation
caused
by
the
arrival
of
Monte
Cristo
,
and
now
came
forward
to
pay
his
respects
to
the
count
.
He
found
him
completely
surrounded
;
all
were
eager
to
speak
to
him
,
as
is
always
the
case
with
those
whose
words
are
few
and
weighty
.
The
solicitors
arrived
at
this
moment
and
arranged
their
scrawled
papers
on
the
velvet
cloth
embroidered
with
gold
which
covered
the
table
prepared
for
the
signature
;
it
was
a
gilt
table
supported
on
lions
'
claws
.
One
of
the
notaries
sat
down
,
the
other
remained
standing
.
They
were
about
to
proceed
to
the
reading
of
the
contract
,
which
half
Paris
assembled
was
to
sign
.
All
took
their
places
,
or
rather
the
ladies
formed
a
circle
,
while
the
gentlemen
(
more
indifferent
to
the
restraints
of
what
Boileau
calls
the
"
energetic
style
"
)
commented
on
the
feverish
agitation
of
Andrea
,
on
M.
Danglars
'
riveted
attention
,
Eugenie
's
composure
,
and
the
light
and
sprightly
manner
in
which
the
baroness
treated
this
important
affair
.
The
contract
was
read
during
a
profound
silence
.
But
as
soon
as
it
was
finished
,
the
buzz
was
redoubled
through
all
the
drawing-rooms
;
the
brilliant
sums
,
the
rolling
millions
which
were
to
be
at
the
command
of
the
two
young
people
,
and
which
crowned
the
display
of
the
wedding
presents
and
the
young
lady
's
diamonds
,
which
had
been
made
in
a
room
entirely
appropriated
for
that
purpose
,
had
exercised
to
the
full
their
delusions
over
the
envious
assembly
.
Mademoiselle
Danglars
'
charms
were
heightened
in
the
opinion
of
the
young
men
,
and
for
the
moment
seemed
to
outvie
the
sun
in
splendor
.
As
for
the
ladies
,
it
is
needless
to
say
that
while
they
coveted
the
millions
,
they
thought
they
did
not
need
them
for
themselves
,
as
they
were
beautiful
enough
without
them
.
Andrea
,
surrounded
by
his
friends
,
complimented
,
flattered
,
beginning
to
believe
in
the
reality
of
his
dream
,
was
almost
bewildered
.
The
notary
solemnly
took
the
pen
,
flourished
it
above
his
head
,
and
said
,
"
Gentlemen
,
we
are
about
to
sign
the
contract
.
"

The
baron
was
to
sign
first
,
then
the
representative
of
M.
Cavalcanti
,
senior
,
then
the
baroness
,
afterwards
the
"
future
couple
,
"
as
they
are
styled
in
the
abominable
phraseology
of
legal
documents
.
The
baron
took
the
pen
and
signed
,
then
the
representative
.
The
baroness
approached
,
leaning
on
Madame
de
Villefort
's
arm
.
"
My
dear
,
"
said
she
,
as
she
took
the
pen
,
"
is
it
not
vexatious
?
An
unexpected
incident
,
in
the
affair
of
murder
and
theft
at
the
Count
of
Monte
Cristo
's
,
in
which
he
nearly
fell
a
victim
,
deprives
us
of
the
pleasure
of
seeing
M.
de
Villefort
.
"
"
Indeed
?
"
said
M.
Danglars
,
in
the
same
tone
in
which
he
would
have
said
,
"
Oh
,
well
,
what
do
I
care
?
"
"
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
"
said
Monte
Cristo
,
approaching
,
"
I
am
much
afraid
that
I
am
the
involuntary
cause
of
his
absence
.

"
What
,
you
,
count
?
"
said
Madame
Danglars
,
signing
;
"
if
you
are
,
take
care
,
for
I
shall
never
forgive
you
.
"
Andrea
pricked
up
his
ears
.
"
But
it
is
not
my
fault
,
as
I
shall
endeavor
to
prove
.
"
Every
one
listened
eagerly
;
Monte
Cristo
who
so
rarely
opened
his
lips
,
was
about
to
speak
.
"
You
remember
,
"
said
the
count
,
during
the
most
profound
silence
,
"
that
the
unhappy
wretch
who
came
to
rob
me
died
at
my
house
;
the
supposition
is
that
he
was
stabbed
by
his
accomplice
,
on
attempting
to
leave
it
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
Danglars
.
