Cocles
went
away
perfectly
happy
,
for
this
eulogium
of
M.
Morrel
,
himself
the
pearl
of
the
honest
men
of
Marseilles
,
flattered
him
more
than
a
present
of
fifty
crowns
.
But
since
the
end
of
the
month
M.
Morrel
had
passed
many
an
anxious
hour
.
In
order
to
meet
the
payments
then
due
;
he
had
collected
all
his
resources
,
and
,
fearing
lest
the
report
of
his
distress
should
get
bruited
abroad
at
Marseilles
when
he
was
known
to
be
reduced
to
such
an
extremity
,
he
went
to
the
Beaucaire
fair
to
sell
his
wife
's
and
daughter
's
jewels
and
a
portion
of
his
plate
.
By
this
means
the
end
of
the
month
was
passed
,
but
his
resources
were
now
exhausted
.
Credit
,
owing
to
the
reports
afloat
,
was
no
longer
to
be
had
;
and
to
meet
the
one
hundred
thousand
francs
due
on
the
10th
of
the
present
month
,
and
the
one
hundred
thousand
francs
due
on
the
15th
of
the
next
month
to
M.
de
Boville
,
M.
Morrel
had
,
in
reality
,
no
hope
but
the
return
of
the
Pharaon
,
of
whose
departure
he
had
learnt
from
a
vessel
which
had
weighed
anchor
at
the
same
time
,
and
which
had
already
arrived
in
harbor
.
But
this
vessel
which
,
like
the
Pharaon
,
came
from
Calcutta
,
had
been
in
for
a
fortnight
,
while
no
intelligence
had
been
received
of
the
Pharaon
.
Such
was
the
state
of
affairs
when
,
the
day
after
his
interview
with
M.
de
Boville
,
the
confidential
clerk
of
the
house
of
Thomson
&
French
of
Rome
,
presented
himself
at
M.
Morrel
's
.
Emmanuel
received
him
;
this
young
man
was
alarmed
by
the
appearance
of
every
new
face
,
for
every
new
face
might
be
that
of
a
new
creditor
,
come
in
anxiety
to
question
the
head
of
the
house
.
The
young
man
,
wishing
to
spare
his
employer
the
pain
of
this
interview
,
questioned
the
new-comer
;
but
the
stranger
declared
that
he
had
nothing
to
say
to
M.
Emmanuel
,
and
that
his
business
was
with
M.
Morrel
in
person
.

Emmanuel
sighed
,
and
summoned
Cocles
.
Cocles
appeared
,
and
the
young
man
bade
him
conduct
the
stranger
to
M.
Morrel
's
apartment
.
Cocles
went
first
,
and
the
stranger
followed
him
.
On
the
staircase
they
met
a
beautiful
girl
of
sixteen
or
seventeen
,
who
looked
with
anxiety
at
the
stranger
.
"
M.
Morrel
is
in
his
room
,
is
he
not
,
Mademoiselle
Julie
?
"
said
the
cashier
.
"
Yes
;
I
think
so
,
at
least
,
"
said
the
young
girl
hesitatingly
.
"
Go
and
see
,
Cocles
,
and
if
my
father
is
there
,
announce
this
gentleman
.
"
"
It
will
be
useless
to
announce
me
,
mademoiselle
,
"
returned
the
Englishman
.
"
M.
Morrel
does
not
know
my
name
;
this
worthy
gentleman
has
only
to
announce
the
confidential
clerk
of
the
house
of
Thomson
&
French
of
Rome
,
with
whom
your
father
does
business
.

The
young
girl
turned
pale
and
continued
to
descend
,
while
the
stranger
and
Cocles
continued
to
mount
the
staircase
.
She
entered
the
office
where
Emmanuel
was
,
while
Cocles
,
by
the
aid
of
a
key
he
possessed
,
opened
a
door
in
the
corner
of
a
landing-place
on
the
second
staircase
,
conducted
the
stranger
into
an
ante-chamber
,
opened
a
second
door
,
which
he
closed
behind
him
,
and
after
having
left
the
clerk
of
the
house
of
Thomson
&
French
alone
,
returned
and
signed
to
him
that
he
could
enter
.
The
Englishman
entered
,
and
found
Morrel
seated
at
a
table
,
turning
over
the
formidable
columns
of
his
ledger
,
which
contained
the
list
of
his
liabilities
.
At
the
sight
of
the
stranger
,
M.
Morrel
closed
the
ledger
,
arose
,
and
offered
a
seat
to
the
stranger
;
and
when
he
had
seen
him
seated
,
resumed
his
own
chair
.
Fourteen
years
had
changed
the
worthy
merchant
,
who
,
in
his
thirty-sixth
year
at
the
opening
of
this
history
,
was
now
in
his
fiftieth
;
his
hair
had
turned
white
,
time
and
sorrow
had
ploughed
deep
furrows
on
his
brow
,
and
his
look
,
once
so
firm
and
penetrating
,
was
now
irresolute
and
wandering
,
as
if
he
feared
being
forced
to
fix
his
attention
on
some
particular
thought
or
person
.
The
Englishman
looked
at
him
with
an
air
of
curiosity
,
evidently
mingled
with
interest
.
"
Monsieur
,
"
said
Morrel
,
whose
uneasiness
was
increased
by
this
examination
,
"
you
wish
to
speak
to
me
?
"
"
Yes
,
monsieur
;
you
are
aware
from
whom
I
come
?
"
