seven
merlets
,
or
,
placed
bender
,
"
said
he
.
"
These
are
,
doubtless
,
your
family
arms
?
Except
the
knowledge
of
blazons
,
that
enables
me
to
decipher
them
,
I
am
very
ignorant
of
heraldry
--
I
,
a
count
of
a
fresh
creation
,
fabricated
in
Tuscany
by
the
aid
of
a
commandery
of
St.
Stephen
,
and
who
would
not
have
taken
the
trouble
had
I
not
been
told
that
when
you
travel
much
it
is
necessary
.
Besides
,
you
must
have
something
on
the
panels
of
your
carriage
,
to
escape
being
searched
by
the
custom-house
officers
.
Excuse
my
putting
such
a
question
to
you
.
"
"
It
is
not
indiscreet
,
"
returned
Morcerf
,
with
the
simplicity
of
conviction
.
"
You
have
guessed
rightly
.
These
are
our
arms
,
that
is
,
those
of
my
father
,
but
they
are
,
as
you
see
,
joined
to
another
shield
,
which
has
gules
,
a
silver
tower
,
which
are
my
mother
's
.
By
her
side
I
am
Spanish
,
but
the
family
of
Morcerf
is
French
,
and
,
I
have
heard
,
one
of
the
oldest
of
the
south
of
France
.

"
Yes
,
"
replied
Monte
Cristo
"
these
blazons
prove
that
.
Almost
all
the
armed
pilgrims
that
went
to
the
Holy
Land
took
for
their
arms
either
a
cross
,
in
honor
of
their
mission
,
or
birds
of
passage
,
in
sign
of
the
long
voyage
they
were
about
to
undertake
,
and
which
they
hoped
to
accomplish
on
the
wings
of
faith
.
One
of
your
ancestors
had
joined
the
Crusades
,
and
supposing
it
to
be
only
that
of
St.
Louis
,
that
makes
you
mount
to
the
thirteenth
century
,
which
is
tolerably
ancient
.
"
"
It
is
possible
,
"
said
Morcerf
;
"
my
father
has
in
his
study
a
genealogical
tree
which
will
tell
you
all
that
,
and
on
which
I
made
commentaries
that
would
have
greatly
edified
Hozier
and
Jaucourt
.
At
present
I
no
longer
think
of
it
,
and
yet
I
must
tell
you
that
we
are
beginning
to
occupy
ourselves
greatly
with
these
things
under
our
popular
government
.
"
"
Well
,
then
,
your
government
would
do
well
to
choose
from
the
past
something
better
than
the
things
that
I
have
noticed
on
your
monuments
,
and
which
have
no
heraldic
meaning
whatever
.
As
for
you
,
viscount
,
"
continued
Monte
Cristo
to
Morcerf
,
"
you
are
more
fortunate
than
the
government
,
for
your
arms
are
really
beautiful
,
and
speak
to
the
imagination
.
Yes
,
you
are
at
once
from
Provence
and
Spain
;
that
explains
,
if
the
portrait
you
showed
me
be
like
,
the
dark
hue
I
so
much
admired
on
the
visage
of
the
noble
Catalan
.
"
It
would
have
required
the
penetration
of
Oedipus
or
the
Sphinx
to
have
divined
the
irony
the
count
concealed
beneath
these
words
,
apparently
uttered
with
the
greatest
politeness
.
Morcerf
thanked
him
with
a
smile
,
and
pushed
open
the
door
above
which
were
his
arms
,
and
which
,
as
we
have
said
,
opened
into
the
salon
.
In
the
most
conspicuous
part
of
the
salon
was
another
portrait
.
It
was
that
of
a
man
,
from
five
to
eight
and
thirty
,
in
the
uniform
of
a
general
officer
,
wearing
the
double
epaulet
of
heavy
bullion
,
that
indicates
superior
rank
,
the
ribbon
of
the
Legion
of
Honor
around
his
neck
,
which
showed
he
was
a
commander
,
and
on
the
right
breast
,
the
star
of
a
grand
officer
of
the
order
of
the
Saviour
,
and
on
the
left
that
of
the
grand
cross
of
Charles
III.
,
which
proved
that
the
person
represented
by
the
picture
had
served
in
the
wars
of
Greece
and
Spain
,
or
,
what
was
just
the
same
thing
as
regarded
decorations
,
had
fulfilled
some
diplomatic
mission
in
the
two
countries
.

Monte
Cristo
was
engaged
in
examining
this
portrait
with
no
less
care
than
he
had
bestowed
upon
the
other
,
when
another
door
opened
,
and
he
found
himself
opposite
to
the
Count
of
Morcerf
in
person
.
He
was
a
man
of
forty
to
forty-five
years
,
but
he
seemed
at
least
fifty
,
and
his
black
mustache
and
eyebrows
contrasted
strangely
with
his
almost
white
hair
,
which
was
cut
short
,
in
the
military
fashion
.
He
was
dressed
in
plain
clothes
,
and
wore
at
his
button-hole
the
ribbons
of
the
different
orders
to
which
he
belonged
.
He
entered
with
a
tolerably
dignified
step
,
and
some
little
haste
.
Monte
Cristo
saw
him
advance
towards
him
without
making
a
single
step
.
It
seemed
as
if
his
feet
were
rooted
to
the
ground
,
and
his
eyes
on
the
Count
of
Morcerf
.
"
Father
,
"
said
the
young
man
,
"
I
have
the
honor
of
presenting
to
you
the
Count
of
Monte
Cristo
,
the
generous
friend
whom
I
had
the
good
fortune
to
meet
in
the
critical
situation
of
which
I
have
told
you
.
"
"
You
are
most
welcome
,
monsieur
,
"
said
the
Count
of
Morcerf
,
saluting
Monte
Cristo
with
a
smile
,
"
and
monsieur
has
rendered
our
house
,
in
preserving
its
only
heir
,
a
service
which
insures
him
our
eternal
gratitude
.
"
As
he
said
these
words
,
the
count
of
Morcerf
pointed
to
a
chair
,
while
he
seated
himself
in
another
opposite
the
window
.
Monte
Cristo
,
in
taking
the
seat
Morcerf
offered
him
,
placed
himself
in
such
a
manner
as
to
remain
concealed
in
the
shadow
of
the
large
velvet
curtains
,
and
read
on
the
careworn
and
livid
features
of
the
count
a
whole
history
of
secret
griefs
written
in
each
wrinkle
time
had
planted
there
.
"
The
countess
,
"
said
Morcerf
,
"
was
at
her
toilet
when
she
was
informed
of
the
visit
she
was
about
to
receive
.
She
will
,
however
,
be
in
the
salon
in
ten
minutes
.
"
