What
?
That
he
has
given
the
diamond
to
us
only
?
"
inquired
Caderousse
,
half
bewildered
with
joy
;
"
yes
,
nothing
more
true
!
See
,
here
it
is
.
"
The
woman
gazed
at
it
a
moment
,
and
then
said
,
in
a
gloomy
voice
,
"
Suppose
it
's
false
?
"
Caderousse
started
and
turned
pale
.
"
False
!
"
he
muttered
"
False
!
Why
should
that
man
give
me
a
false
diamond
?
"
"
To
get
your
secret
without
paying
for
it
,
you
blockhead
!

Caderousse
remained
for
a
moment
aghast
under
the
weight
of
such
an
idea
.
"
Oh
!
"
he
said
,
taking
up
his
hat
,
which
he
placed
on
the
red
handkerchief
tied
round
his
head
,
"
we
will
soon
find
out
.
"
"
In
what
way
?
"
"
Why
,
the
fair
is
on
at
Beaucaire
,
there
are
always
jewellers
from
Paris
there
,
and
I
will
show
it
to
them
.
Look
after
the
house
,
wife
,
and
I
shall
be
back
in
two
hours
,
"
and
Caderousse
left
the
house
in
haste
,
and
ran
rapidly
in
the
direction
opposite
to
that
which
the
priest
had
taken
.
"
Fifty
thousand
francs
!
"
muttered
La
Carconte
when
left
alone
;
"
it
is
a
large
sum
of
money
,
but
it
is
not
a
fortune
.
"
The
day
after
that
in
which
the
scene
we
have
just
described
had
taken
place
on
the
road
between
Bellegarde
and
Beaucaire
,
a
man
of
about
thirty
or
two
and
thirty
,
dressed
in
a
bright
blue
frock
coat
,
nankeen
trousers
,
and
a
white
waistcoat
,
having
the
appearance
and
accent
of
an
Englishman
,
presented
himself
before
the
mayor
of
Marseilles
.
"
Sir
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
am
chief
clerk
of
the
house
of
Thomson
&
French
,
of
Rome
.
We
are
,
and
have
been
these
ten
years
,
connected
with
the
house
of
Morrel
&
Son
,
of
Marseilles
.
We
have
a
hundred
thousand
francs
or
thereabouts
loaned
on
their
securities
,
and
we
are
a
little
uneasy
at
reports
that
have
reached
us
that
the
firm
is
on
the
brink
of
ruin
.
I
have
come
,
therefore
,
express
from
Rome
,
to
ask
you
for
information
.
"

"
Sir
,
"
replied
the
mayor
.
"
I
know
very
well
that
during
the
last
four
or
five
years
misfortune
has
seemed
to
pursue
M.
Morrel
.
He
has
lost
four
or
five
vessels
,
and
suffered
by
three
or
four
bankruptcies
;
but
it
is
not
for
me
,
although
I
am
a
creditor
myself
to
the
amount
of
ten
thousand
francs
,
to
give
any
information
as
to
the
state
of
his
finances
.
Ask
of
me
,
as
mayor
,
what
is
my
opinion
of
M.
Morrel
,
and
I
shall
say
that
he
is
a
man
honorable
to
the
last
degree
,
and
who
has
up
to
this
time
fulfilled
every
engagement
with
scrupulous
punctuality
.
This
is
all
I
can
say
,
sir
;
if
you
wish
to
learn
more
,
address
yourself
to
M.
de
Boville
,
the
inspector
of
prisons
,
No
.
15
,
Rue
de
Nouailles
;
he
has
,
I
believe
,
two
hundred
thousand
francs
in
Morrel
's
hands
,
and
if
there
be
any
grounds
for
apprehension
,
as
this
is
a
greater
amount
than
mine
,
you
will
most
probably
find
him
better
informed
than
myself
.
"
The
Englishman
seemed
to
appreciate
this
extreme
delicacy
,
made
his
bow
and
went
away
,
proceeding
with
a
characteristic
British
stride
towards
the
street
mentioned
.
M.
de
Boville
was
in
his
private
room
,
and
the
Englishman
,
on
perceiving
him
,
made
a
gesture
of
surprise
,
which
seemed
to
indicate
that
it
was
not
the
first
time
he
had
been
in
his
presence
.
As
to
M.
de
Boville
,
he
was
in
such
a
state
of
despair
,
that
it
was
evident
all
the
faculties
of
his
mind
,
absorbed
in
the
thought
which
occupied
him
at
the
moment
,
did
not
allow
either
his
memory
or
his
imagination
to
stray
to
the
past
.
The
Englishman
,
with
the
coolness
of
his
nation
,
addressed
him
in
terms
nearly
similar
to
those
with
which
he
had
accosted
the
mayor
of
Marseilles
.
"
Oh
,
sir
,
"
exclaimed
M.
de
Boville
,
"
your
fears
are
unfortunately
but
too
well
founded
,
and
you
see
before
you
a
man
in
despair
.
I
had
two
hundred
thousand
francs
placed
in
the
hands
of
Morrel
&
Son
;
these
two
hundred
thousand
francs
were
the
dowry
of
my
daughter
,
who
was
to
be
married
in
a
fortnight
,
and
these
two
hundred
thousand
francs
were
payable
,
half
on
the
15th
of
this
month
,
and
the
other
half
on
the
15th
of
next
month
.
I
had
informed
M.
