The
blood
mounted
to
the
temples
of
Debray
,
who
held
a
million
in
his
pocket-book
,
and
unimaginative
as
he
was
he
could
not
help
reflecting
that
the
same
house
had
contained
two
women
,
one
of
whom
,
justly
dishonored
,
had
left
it
poor
with
1,500,000
.
francs
under
her
cloak
,
while
the
other
,
unjustly
stricken
,
but
sublime
in
her
misfortune
,
was
yet
rich
with
a
few
deniers
.
This
parallel
disturbed
his
usual
politeness
,
the
philosophy
he
witnessed
appalled
him
,
he
muttered
a
few
words
of
general
civility
and
ran
down-stairs
.
That
day
the
minister
's
clerks
and
the
subordinates
had
a
great
deal
to
put
up
with
from
his
ill-humor
.
But
that
same
night
,
he
found
himself
the
possessor
of
a
fine
house
,
situated
on
the
Boulevard
de
la
Madeleine
,
and
an
income
of
50,000
livres
.
The
next
day
,
just
as
Debray
was
signing
the
deed
,
that
is
about
five
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
,
Madame
de
Morcerf
,
after
having
affectionately
embraced
her
son
,
entered
the
coupe
of
the
diligence
,
which
closed
upon
her
.
A
man
was
hidden
in
Lafitte
's
banking-house
,
behind
one
of
the
little
arched
windows
which
are
placed
above
each
desk
;
he
saw
Mercedes
enter
the
diligence
,
and
he
also
saw
Albert
withdraw
.
Then
he
passed
his
hand
across
his
forehead
,
which
was
clouded
with
doubt
.
"
Alas
,
"
he
exclaimed
,
"
how
can
I
restore
the
happiness
I
have
taken
away
from
these
poor
innocent
creatures
?
God
help
me
!
"
One
division
of
La
Force
,
in
which
the
most
dangerous
and
desperate
prisoners
are
confined
,
is
called
the
court
of
Saint
--
Bernard
.
The
prisoners
,
in
their
expressive
language
,
have
named
it
the
"
Lions
'
Den
,
"
probably
because
the
captives
possess
teeth
which
frequently
gnaw
the
bars
,
and
sometimes
the
keepers
also
.
It
is
a
prison
within
a
prison
;
the
walls
are
double
the
thickness
of
the
rest
.
The
gratings
are
every
day
carefully
examined
by
jailers
,
whose
herculean
proportions
and
cold
pitiless
expression
prove
them
to
have
been
chosen
to
reign
over
their
subjects
for
their
superior
activity
and
intelligence
.
The
court-yard
of
this
quarter
is
enclosed
by
enormous
walls
,
over
which
the
sun
glances
obliquely
,
when
it
deigns
to
penetrate
into
this
gulf
of
moral
and
physical
deformity
.
On
this
paved
yard
are
to
be
seen
--
pacing
to
and
fro
from
morning
till
night
,
pale
,
careworn
,
and
haggard
,
like
so
many
shadows
--
the
men
whom
justice
holds
beneath
the
steel
she
is
sharpening
.
There
,
crouched
against
the
side
of
the
wall
which
attracts
and
retains
the
most
heat
,
they
may
be
seen
sometimes
talking
to
one
another
,
but
more
frequently
alone
,
watching
the
door
,
which
sometimes
opens
to
call
forth
one
from
the
gloomy
assemblage
,
or
to
throw
in
another
outcast
from
society
.

The
court
of
Saint
--
Bernard
has
its
own
particular
apartment
for
the
reception
of
guests
;
it
is
a
long
rectangle
,
divided
by
two
upright
gratings
placed
at
a
distance
of
three
feet
from
one
another
to
prevent
a
visitor
from
shaking
hands
with
or
passing
anything
to
the
prisoners
.
It
is
a
wretched
,
damp
,
nay
,
even
horrible
spot
,
more
especially
when
we
consider
the
agonizing
conferences
which
have
taken
place
between
those
iron
bars
.
And
yet
,
frightful
though
this
spot
may
be
,
it
is
looked
upon
as
a
kind
of
paradise
by
the
men
whose
days
are
numbered
;
it
is
so
rare
for
them
to
leave
the
Lions
'
Den
for
any
other
place
than
the
barrier
Saint
--
Jacques
or
the
galleys
!
In
the
court
which
we
have
attempted
to
describe
,
and
from
which
a
damp
vapor
was
rising
,
a
young
man
with
his
hands
in
his
pockets
,
who
had
excited
much
curiosity
among
the
inhabitants
of
the
"
Den
,
"
might
be
seen
walking
.
The
cut
of
his
clothes
would
have
made
him
pass
for
an
elegant
man
,
if
those
clothes
had
not
been
torn
to
shreds
;
still
they
did
not
show
signs
of
wear
,
and
the
fine
cloth
,
beneath
the
careful
hands
of
the
prisoner
,
soon
recovered
its
gloss
in
the
parts
which
were
still
perfect
,
for
the
wearer
tried
his
best
to
make
it
assume
the
appearance
of
a
new
coat
.
He
bestowed
the
same
attention
upon
the
cambric
front
of
a
shirt
,
which
had
considerably
changed
in
color
since
his
entrance
into
the
prison
,
and
he
polished
his
varnished
boots
with
the
corner
of
a
handkerchief
embroidered
with
initials
surmounted
by
a
coronet
.
Some
of
the
inmates
of
the
"
Lions
'
Den
"
were
watching
the
operations
of
the
prisoner
's
toilet
with
considerable
interest
.
"
See
,
the
prince
is
pluming
himself
,
"
said
one
of
the
thieves
.
"
He
's
a
fine
looking
fellow
,
"
said
another
;
"
if
he
had
only
a
comb
and
hair-grease
,
he
'd
take
the
shine
off
the
gentlemen
in
white
kids
.
"

"
His
coat
looks
almost
new
,
and
his
boots
shine
like
a
nigger
's
face
.
It
's
pleasant
to
have
such
well-dressed
comrades
;
but
did
n't
those
gendarmes
behave
shameful
?
--
must
'
a
been
jealous
,
to
tear
such
clothes
!
"
"
He
looks
like
a
big-bug
,
"
said
another
;
"
dresses
in
fine
style
.
And
,
then
,
to
be
here
so
young
!
Oh
,
what
larks
!
"
Meanwhile
the
object
of
this
hideous
admiration
approached
the
wicket
,
against
which
one
of
the
keepers
was
leaning
.
"
Come
,
sir
,
"
he
said
,
"
lend
me
twenty
francs
;
you
will
soon
be
paid
;
you
run
no
risks
with
me
.
Remember
,
I
have
relations
who
possess
more
millions
than
you
have
deniers
.
Come
,
I
beseech
you
,
lend
me
twenty
francs
,
so
that
I
may
buy
a
dressing-gown
;
it
is
intolerable
always
to
be
in
a
coat
and
boots
!
And
what
a
coat
,
sir
,
for
a
prince
of
the
Cavalcanti
!
"
The
keeper
turned
his
back
,
and
shrugged
his
shoulders
;
he
did
not
even
laugh
at
what
would
have
caused
any
one
else
to
do
so
;
he
had
heard
so
many
utter
the
same
things
--
indeed
,
he
heard
nothing
else
.
"
Come
,
"
said
Andrea
,
"
you
are
a
man
void
of
compassion
;
I
'll
have
you
turned
out
.
"
This
made
the
keeper
turn
around
,
and
he
burst
into
a
loud
laugh
.
The
prisoners
then
approached
and
formed
a
circle
.
"
I
tell
you
that
with
that
wretched
sum
,
"
continued
Andrea
,
"
I
could
obtain
a
coat
,
and
a
room
in
which
to
receive
the
illustrious
visitor
I
am
daily
expecting
.
