"
So
young
--
it
is
impossible
,
"
said
Mercedes
,
replying
at
the
same
time
to
what
Albert
said
as
well
as
to
her
own
private
reflection
.
"
It
is
the
truth
,
however
.
Three
or
four
times
he
has
said
to
me
,
and
certainly
without
the
slightest
premeditation
,
'
at
such
a
period
I
was
five
years
old
,
at
another
ten
years
old
,
at
another
twelve
,
'
and
I
,
induced
by
curiosity
,
which
kept
me
alive
to
these
details
,
have
compared
the
dates
,
and
never
found
him
inaccurate
.
The
age
of
this
singular
man
,
who
is
of
no
age
,
is
then
,
I
am
certain
,
thirty-five
.
Besides
,
mother
,
remark
how
vivid
his
eye
,
how
raven-black
his
hair
,
and
his
brow
,
though
so
pale
,
is
free
from
wrinkles
--
he
is
not
only
vigorous
,
but
also
young
.
"
The
countess
bent
her
head
,
as
if
beneath
a
heavy
wave
of
bitter
thoughts
.
"
And
has
this
man
displayed
a
friendship
for
you
,
Albert
?
"
she
asked
with
a
nervous
shudder
.

"
I
am
inclined
to
think
so
.
"
"
And
--
do
--
you
--
like
--
him
?
"
"
Why
,
he
pleases
me
in
spite
of
Franz
d'Epinay
,
who
tries
to
convince
me
that
he
is
a
being
returned
from
the
other
world
.
"
The
countess
shuddered
.
"
Albert
,
"
she
said
,
in
a
voice
which
was
altered
by
emotion
,
"
I
have
always
put
you
on
your
guard
against
new
acquaintances
.
Now
you
are
a
man
,
and
are
able
to
give
me
advice
;
yet
I
repeat
to
you
,
Albert
,
be
prudent
.
"
"
Why
,
my
dear
mother
,
it
is
necessary
,
in
order
to
make
your
advice
turn
to
account
,
that
I
should
know
beforehand
what
I
have
to
distrust
.
The
count
never
plays
,
he
only
drinks
pure
water
tinged
with
a
little
sherry
,
and
is
so
rich
that
he
can
not
,
without
intending
to
laugh
at
me
,
try
to
borrow
money
.
What
,
then
,
have
I
to
fear
from
him
?
"

"
You
are
right
,
"
said
the
countess
,
"
and
my
fears
are
weakness
,
especially
when
directed
against
a
man
who
has
saved
your
life
.
How
did
your
father
receive
him
,
Albert
?
It
is
necessary
that
we
should
be
more
than
complaisant
to
the
count
.
M.
de
Morcerf
is
sometimes
occupied
,
his
business
makes
him
reflective
,
and
he
might
,
without
intending
it
"
--
"
Nothing
could
be
in
better
taste
than
my
father
's
demeanor
,
madame
,
"
said
Albert
;
"
nay
,
more
,
he
seemed
greatly
flattered
at
two
or
three
compliments
which
the
count
very
skilfully
and
agreeably
paid
him
with
as
much
ease
as
if
he
had
known
him
these
thirty
years
.
Each
of
these
little
tickling
arrows
must
have
pleased
my
father
,
"
added
Albert
with
a
laugh
.
"
And
thus
they
parted
the
best
possible
friends
,
and
M.
de
Morcerf
even
wished
to
take
him
to
the
Chamber
to
hear
the
speakers
.
"
The
countess
made
no
reply
.
She
fell
into
so
deep
a
revery
that
her
eyes
gradually
closed
.
The
young
man
,
standing
up
before
her
,
gazed
upon
her
with
that
filial
affection
which
is
so
tender
and
endearing
with
children
whose
mothers
are
still
young
and
handsome
.
Then
,
after
seeing
her
eyes
closed
,
and
hearing
her
breathe
gently
,
he
believed
she
had
dropped
asleep
,
and
left
the
apartment
on
tiptoe
,
closing
the
door
after
him
with
the
utmost
precaution
.
"
This
devil
of
a
fellow
,
"
he
muttered
,
shaking
his
head
;
"
I
said
at
the
time
he
would
create
a
sensation
here
,
and
I
measure
his
effect
by
an
infallible
thermometer
.
My
mother
has
noticed
him
,
and
he
must
therefore
,
perforce
,
be
remarkable
.
"
He
went
down
to
the
stables
,
not
without
some
slight
annoyance
,
when
he
remembered
that
the
Count
of
Monte
Cristo
had
laid
his
hands
on
a
"
turnout
"
which
sent
his
bays
down
to
second
place
in
the
opinion
of
connoisseurs
