Why
,
the
grottos
--
caves
of
the
island
.
"
"
I
do
not
know
of
any
grottos
,
"
replied
Jacopo
.
The
cold
sweat
sprang
forth
on
Dantes
'
brow
.
"
What
,
are
there
no
grottos
at
Monte
Cristo
?
"
he
asked
.
"
None
.
"
For
a
moment
Dantes
was
speechless
;
then
he
remembered
that
these
caves
might
have
been
filled
up
by
some
accident
,
or
even
stopped
up
,
for
the
sake
of
greater
security
,
by
Cardinal
Spada
.
The
point
was
,
then
,
to
discover
the
hidden
entrance
.
It
was
useless
to
search
at
night
,
and
Dantes
therefore
delayed
all
investigation
until
the
morning
.
Besides
,
a
signal
made
half
a
league
out
at
sea
,
and
to
which
The
Young
Amelia
replied
by
a
similar
signal
,
indicated
that
the
moment
for
business
had
come
.
The
boat
that
now
arrived
,
assured
by
the
answering
signal
that
all
was
well
,
soon
came
in
sight
,
white
and
silent
as
a
phantom
,
and
cast
anchor
within
a
cable
's
length
of
shore
.
Then
the
landing
began
.
Dantes
reflected
,
as
he
worked
,
on
the
shout
of
joy
which
,
with
a
single
word
,
he
could
evoke
from
all
these
men
,
if
he
gave
utterance
to
the
one
unchanging
thought
that
pervaded
his
heart
;
but
,
far
from
disclosing
this
precious
secret
,
he
almost
feared
that
he
had
already
said
too
much
,
and
by
his
restlessness
and
continual
questions
,
his
minute
observations
and
evident
preoccupation
,
aroused
suspicions
.
Fortunately
,
as
regarded
this
circumstance
at
least
,
his
painful
past
gave
to
his
countenance
an
indelible
sadness
,
and
the
glimmerings
of
gayety
seen
beneath
this
cloud
were
indeed
but
transitory
.
No
one
had
the
slightest
suspicion
;
and
when
next
day
,
taking
a
fowling-piece
,
powder
,
and
shot
,
Dantes
declared
his
intention
to
go
and
kill
some
of
the
wild
goats
that
were
seen
springing
from
rock
to
rock
,
his
wish
was
construed
into
a
love
of
sport
,
or
a
desire
for
solitude
.
However
,
Jacopo
insisted
on
following
him
,
and
Dantes
did
not
oppose
this
,
fearing
if
he
did
so
that
he
might
incur
distrust
.
Scarcely
,
however
,
had
they
gone
a
quarter
of
a
league
when
,
having
killed
a
kid
,
he
begged
Jacopo
to
take
it
to
his
comrades
,
and
request
them
to
cook
it
,
and
when
ready
to
let
him
know
by
firing
a
gun
.
This
and
some
dried
fruits
and
a
flask
of
Monte
Pulciano
,
was
the
bill
of
fare
.
Dantes
went
on
,
looking
from
time
to
time
behind
and
around
about
him
.
Having
reached
the
summit
of
a
rock
,
he
saw
,
a
thousand
feet
beneath
him
,
his
companions
,
whom
Jacopo
had
rejoined
,
and
who
were
all
busy
preparing
the
repast
which
Edmond
's
skill
as
a
marksman
had
augmented
with
a
capital
dish
.
Edmond
looked
at
them
for
a
moment
with
the
sad
and
gentle
smile
of
a
man
superior
to
his
fellows
.
"
In
two
hours
'
time
,
"
said
he
,
"
these
persons
will
depart
richer
by
fifty
piastres
each
,
to
go
and
risk
their
lives
again
by
endeavoring
to
gain
fifty
more
;
then
they
will
return
with
a
fortune
of
six
hundred
francs
,
and
waste
this
treasure
in
some
city
with
the
pride
of
sultans
and
the
insolence
of
nabobs
.
At
this
moment
hope
makes
me
despise
their
riches
,
which
seem
to
me
contemptible
.
Yet
perchance
tomorrow
deception
will
so
act
on
me
,
that
I
shall
,
on
compulsion
,
consider
such
a
contemptible
possession
as
the
utmost
happiness
.
Oh
,
no
!
"
exclaimed
Edmond
,
"
that
will
not
be
.
The
wise
,
unerring
Faria
could
not
be
mistaken
in
this
one
thing
.
Besides
,
it
were
better
to
die
than
to
continue
to
lead
this
low
and
wretched
life
.
"
Thus
Dantes
,
who
but
three
months
before
had
no
desire
but
liberty
had
now
not
liberty
enough
,
and
panted
for
wealth
.
The
cause
was
not
in
Dantes
,
but
in
providence
,
who
,
while
limiting
the
power
of
man
,
has
filled
him
with
boundless
desires
.
Meanwhile
,
by
a
cleft
between
two
walls
of
rock
,
following
a
path
worn
by
a
torrent
,
and
which
,
in
all
human
probability
,
human
foot
had
never
before
trod
,
Dantes
approached
the
spot
where
he
supposed
the
grottos
must
have
existed
.
Keeping
along
the
shore
,
and
examining
the
smallest
object
with
serious
attention
,
he
thought
he
could
trace
,
on
certain
rocks
,
marks
made
by
the
hand
of
man
.
