These
arcades
opened
on
one
side
into
the
corridor
where
the
count
and
Franz
were
,
and
on
the
other
into
a
large
square
chamber
,
entirely
surrounded
by
niches
similar
to
those
of
which
we
have
spoken
.
In
the
midst
of
this
chamber
were
four
stones
,
which
had
formerly
served
as
an
altar
,
as
was
evident
from
the
cross
which
still
surmounted
them
.
A
lamp
,
placed
at
the
base
of
a
pillar
,
lighted
up
with
its
pale
and
flickering
flame
the
singular
scene
which
presented
itself
to
the
eyes
of
the
two
visitors
concealed
in
the
shadow
.
A
man
was
seated
with
his
elbow
leaning
on
the
column
,
and
was
reading
with
his
back
turned
to
the
arcades
,
through
the
openings
of
which
the
new-comers
contemplated
him
.
This
was
the
chief
of
the
band
,
Luigi
Vampa
.
Around
him
,
and
in
groups
,
according
to
their
fancy
,
lying
in
their
mantles
,
or
with
their
backs
against
a
sort
of
stone
bench
,
which
went
all
round
the
columbarium
,
were
to
be
seen
twenty
brigands
or
more
,
each
having
his
carbine
within
reach
.
At
the
other
end
,
silent
,
scarcely
visible
,
and
like
a
shadow
,
was
a
sentinel
,
who
was
walking
up
and
down
before
a
grotto
,
which
was
only
distinguishable
because
in
that
spot
the
darkness
seemed
more
dense
than
elsewhere
.
When
the
count
thought
Franz
had
gazed
sufficiently
on
this
picturesque
tableau
,
he
raised
his
finger
to
his
lips
,
to
warn
him
to
be
silent
,
and
,
ascending
the
three
steps
which
led
to
the
corridor
of
the
columbarium
,
entered
the
chamber
by
the
middle
arcade
,
and
advanced
towards
Vampa
,
who
was
so
intent
on
the
book
before
him
that
he
did
not
hear
the
noise
of
his
footsteps
.
"
Who
comes
there
?
"
cried
the
sentinel
,
who
was
less
abstracted
,
and
who
saw
by
the
lamp-light
a
shadow
approaching
his
chief
.
At
this
challenge
,
Vampa
rose
quickly
,
drawing
at
the
same
moment
a
pistol
from
his
girdle
.
In
a
moment
all
the
bandits
were
on
their
feet
,
and
twenty
carbines
were
levelled
at
the
count
.
"
Well
,
"
said
he
in
a
voice
perfectly
calm
,
and
no
muscle
of
his
countenance
disturbed
,
"
well
,
my
dear
Vampa
,
it
appears
to
me
that
you
receive
a
friend
with
a
great
deal
of
ceremony
.
"
"
Ground
arms
,
"
exclaimed
the
chief
,
with
an
imperative
sign
of
the
hand
,
while
with
the
other
he
took
off
his
hat
respectfully
;
then
,
turning
to
the
singular
personage
who
had
caused
this
scene
,
he
said
,
"
Your
pardon
,
your
excellency
,
but
I
was
so
far
from
expecting
the
honor
of
a
visit
,
that
I
did
not
really
recognize
you
.

"
It
seems
that
your
memory
is
equally
short
in
everything
,
Vampa
,
"
said
the
count
,
"
and
that
not
only
do
you
forget
people
's
faces
,
but
also
the
conditions
you
make
with
them
.
"
"
What
conditions
have
I
forgotten
,
your
excellency
?
"
inquired
the
bandit
,
with
the
air
of
a
man
who
,
having
committed
an
error
,
is
anxious
to
repair
it
.
"
Was
it
not
agreed
,
"
asked
the
count
,
"
that
not
only
my
person
,
but
also
that
of
my
friends
,
should
be
respected
by
you
?
"
"
And
how
have
I
broken
that
treaty
,
your
excellency
?

"
You
have
this
evening
carried
off
and
conveyed
hither
the
Vicomte
Albert
de
Morcerf
.
Well
,
"
continued
the
count
,
in
a
tone
that
made
Franz
shudder
,
"
this
young
gentleman
is
one
of
my
friends
--
this
young
gentleman
lodges
in
the
same
hotel
as
myself
--
this
young
gentleman
has
been
up
and
down
the
Corso
for
eight
hours
in
my
private
carriage
,
and
yet
,
I
repeat
to
you
,
you
have
carried
him
off
,
and
conveyed
him
hither
,
and
,
"
added
the
count
,
taking
the
letter
from
his
pocket
,
"
you
have
set
a
ransom
on
him
,
as
if
he
were
an
utter
stranger
.
"
"
Why
did
you
not
tell
me
all
this
--
you
?
"
inquired
the
brigand
chief
,
turning
towards
his
men
,
who
all
retreated
before
his
look
.
"
Why
have
you
caused
me
thus
to
fail
in
my
word
towards
a
gentleman
like
the
count
,
who
has
all
our
lives
in
his
hands
?
By
heavens
,
if
I
thought
one
of
you
knew
that
the
young
gentleman
was
the
friend
of
his
excellency
,
I
would
blow
his
brains
out
with
my
own
hand
!
