Once
past
the
frontier
,
Andrea
proposed
making
money
of
his
diamonds
;
and
by
uniting
the
proceeds
to
ten
bank-notes
he
always
carried
about
with
him
in
case
of
accident
,
he
would
then
find
himself
possessor
of
about
50,000
livres
,
which
he
philosophically
considered
as
no
very
deplorable
condition
after
all
.
Moreover
,
he
reckoned
much
on
the
interest
of
the
Danglars
to
hush
up
the
rumor
of
their
own
misadventures
.
These
were
the
reasons
which
,
added
to
the
fatigue
,
caused
Andrea
to
sleep
so
soundly
.
In
order
that
he
might
awaken
early
he
did
not
close
the
shutters
,
but
contented
himself
with
bolting
the
door
and
placing
on
the
table
an
unclasped
and
long-pointed
knife
,
whose
temper
he
well
knew
,
and
which
was
never
absent
from
him
.
About
seven
in
the
morning
Andrea
was
awakened
by
a
ray
of
sunlight
,
which
played
,
warm
and
brilliant
,
upon
his
face
.
In
all
well-organized
brains
,
the
predominating
idea
--
and
there
always
is
one
--
is
sure
to
be
the
last
thought
before
sleeping
,
and
the
first
upon
waking
in
the
morning
.
Andrea
had
scarcely
opened
his
eyes
when
his
predominating
idea
presented
itself
,
and
whispered
in
his
ear
that
he
had
slept
too
long
.
He
jumped
out
of
bed
and
ran
to
the
window
.
A
gendarme
was
crossing
the
court
.
A
gendarme
is
one
of
the
most
striking
objects
in
the
world
,
even
to
a
man
void
of
uneasiness
;
but
for
one
who
has
a
timid
conscience
,
and
with
good
cause
too
,
the
yellow
,
blue
,
and
white
uniform
is
really
very
alarming
.
"
Why
is
that
gendarme
there
?
"
asked
Andrea
of
himself
.
Then
,
all
at
once
,
he
replied
,
with
that
logic
which
the
reader
has
,
doubtless
,
remarked
in
him
,
"
There
is
nothing
astonishing
in
seeing
a
gendarme
at
an
inn
;
instead
of
being
astonished
,
let
me
dress
myself
.
"
And
the
youth
dressed
himself
with
a
facility
his
valet
de
chambre
had
failed
to
rob
him
of
during
the
two
months
of
fashionable
life
he
had
led
in
Paris
.
"
Now
then
,
"
said
Andrea
,
while
dressing
himself
,
"
I
'll
wait
till
he
leaves
,
and
then
I
'll
slip
away
.
"
And
,
saying
this
,
Andrea
,
who
had
now
put
on
his
boots
and
cravat
,
stole
gently
to
the
window
,
and
a
second
time
lifted
up
the
muslin
curtain
.

Not
only
was
the
first
gendarme
still
there
,
but
the
young
man
now
perceived
a
second
yellow
,
blue
,
and
white
uniform
at
the
foot
of
the
staircase
,
the
only
one
by
which
he
could
descend
,
while
a
third
,
on
horseback
,
holding
a
musket
in
his
fist
,
was
posted
as
a
sentinel
at
the
great
street
door
which
alone
afforded
the
means
of
egress
.
The
appearance
of
the
third
gendarme
settled
the
matter
,
for
a
crowd
of
curious
loungers
was
extended
before
him
,
effectually
blocking
the
entrance
to
the
hotel
.
"
They
're
after
me
!
"
was
Andrea
's
first
thought
.
"
The
devil
!
"
A
pallor
overspread
the
young
man
's
forehead
,
and
he
looked
around
him
with
anxiety
.
His
room
,
like
all
those
on
the
same
floor
,
had
but
one
outlet
to
the
gallery
in
the
sight
of
everybody
.
"
I
am
lost
!
"
was
his
second
thought
;
and
,
indeed
,
for
a
man
in
Andrea
's
situation
,
an
arrest
meant
the
assizes
,
trial
,
and
death
--
death
without
mercy
or
delay
.
For
a
moment
he
convulsively
pressed
his
head
within
his
hands
,
and
during
that
brief
period
he
became
nearly
mad
with
terror
;
but
soon
a
ray
of
hope
glimmered
in
the
multitude
of
thoughts
which
bewildered
his
mind
,
and
a
faint
smile
played
upon
his
white
lips
and
pallid
cheeks
.
He
looked
around
and
saw
the
objects
of
his
search
upon
the
chimney-piece
;
they
were
a
pen
,
ink
,
and
paper
.
With
forced
composure
he
dipped
the
pen
in
the
ink
,
and
wrote
the
following
lines
upon
a
sheet
of
paper
:
--
"
I
have
no
money
to
pay
my
bill
,
but
I
am
not
a
dishonest
man
;
I
leave
behind
me
as
a
pledge
this
pin
,
worth
ten
times
the
amount
.
I
shall
be
excused
for
leaving
at
daybreak
,
for
I
was
ashamed
.
"

He
then
drew
the
pin
from
his
cravat
and
placed
it
on
the
paper
.
This
done
,
instead
of
leaving
the
door
fastened
,
he
drew
back
the
bolts
and
even
placed
the
door
ajar
,
as
though
he
had
left
the
room
,
forgetting
to
close
it
,
and
slipping
into
the
chimney
like
a
man
accustomed
to
that
kind
of
gymnastic
exercise
,
having
effaced
the
marks
of
his
feet
upon
the
floor
,
he
commenced
climbing
the
only
opening
which
afforded
him
the
means
of
escape
.
At
this
precise
time
,
the
first
gendarme
Andrea
had
noticed
walked
up-stairs
,
preceded
by
the
commissary
of
police
,
and
supported
by
the
second
gendarme
who
guarded
the
staircase
and
was
himself
re-enforced
by
the
one
stationed
at
the
door
.
Andrea
was
indebted
for
this
visit
to
the
following
circumstances
.
At
daybreak
,
the
telegraphs
were
set
at
work
in
all
directions
,
and
almost
immediately
the
authorities
in
every
district
had
exerted
their
utmost
endeavors
to
arrest
the
murderer
of
Caderousse
.
Compiegne
,
that
royal
residence
and
fortified
town
,
is
well
furnished
with
authorities
,
gendarmes
,
and
commissaries
of
police
;
they
therefore
began
operations
as
soon
as
the
telegraphic
despatch
arrived
,
and
the
Bell
and
Bottle
being
the
best-known
hotel
in
the
town
,
they
had
naturally
directed
their
first
inquiries
there
.
Now
,
besides
the
reports
of
the
sentinels
guarding
the
Hotel
de
Ville
,
which
is
next
door
to
the
Bell
and
Bottle
,
it
had
been
stated
by
others
that
a
number
of
travellers
had
arrived
during
the
night
.
