Oh
,
excellency
!
"
"
No
,
no
;
but
philosophy
at
half-past
ten
at
night
is
somewhat
late
;
yet
I
have
no
other
observation
to
make
,
for
what
you
say
is
correct
,
which
is
more
than
can
be
said
for
all
philosophy
.
"
"
My
journeys
became
more
and
more
extensive
and
more
productive
.
Assunta
took
care
of
all
,
and
our
little
fortune
increased
.
One
day
as
I
was
setting
off
on
an
expedition
,
'
Go
,
'
said
she
;
'
at
your
return
I
will
give
you
a
surprise
.
'
I
questioned
her
,
but
in
vain
;
she
would
tell
me
nothing
,
and
I
departed
.
Our
expedition
lasted
nearly
six
weeks
;
we
had
been
to
Lucca
to
take
in
oil
,
to
Leghorn
for
English
cottons
,
and
we
ran
our
cargo
without
opposition
,
and
returned
home
full
of
joy
.
When
I
entered
the
house
,
the
first
thing
I
beheld
in
the
middle
of
Assunta
's
chamber
was
a
cradle
that
might
be
called
sumptuous
compared
with
the
rest
of
the
furniture
,
and
in
it
a
baby
seven
or
eight
months
old
.
I
uttered
a
cry
of
joy
;
the
only
moments
of
sadness
I
had
known
since
the
assassination
of
the
procureur
were
caused
by
the
recollection
that
I
had
abandoned
this
child
.
For
the
assassination
itself
I
had
never
felt
any
remorse
.
Poor
Assunta
had
guessed
all
.
She
had
profited
by
my
absence
,
and
furnished
with
the
half
of
the
linen
,
and
having
written
down
the
day
and
hour
at
which
I
had
deposited
the
child
at
the
asylum
,
had
set
off
for
Paris
,
and
had
reclaimed
it
.
No
objection
was
raised
,
and
the
infant
was
given
up
to
her
.
Ah
,
I
confess
,
your
excellency
,
when
I
saw
this
poor
creature
sleeping
peacefully
in
its
cradle
,
I
felt
my
eyes
filled
with
tears
.
'
Ah
,
Assunta
,
'
cried
I
,
'
you
are
an
excellent
woman
,
and
heaven
will
bless
you
.
'
"
"
This
,
"
said
Monte
Cristo
,
"
is
less
correct
than
your
philosophy
--
it
is
only
faith
.
"
"
Alas
,
your
excellency
is
right
,
"
replied
Bertuccio
,
"
and
God
made
this
infant
the
instrument
of
our
punishment
.
Never
did
a
perverse
nature
declare
itself
more
prematurely
,
and
yet
it
was
not
owing
to
any
fault
in
his
bringing
up
.
He
was
a
most
lovely
child
,
with
large
blue
eyes
,
of
that
deep
color
that
harmonizes
so
well
with
the
blond
complexion
;
only
his
hair
,
which
was
too
light
,
gave
his
face
a
most
singular
expression
,
and
added
to
the
vivacity
of
his
look
,
and
the
malice
of
his
smile
.
Unfortunately
,
there
is
a
proverb
which
says
that
'
red
is
either
altogether
good
or
altogether
bad
.
'
The
proverb
was
but
too
correct
as
regarded
Benedetto
,
and
even
in
his
infancy
he
manifested
the
worst
disposition
.
It
is
true
that
the
indulgence
of
his
foster-mother
encouraged
him
.
This
child
,
for
whom
my
poor
sister
would
go
to
the
town
,
five
or
six
leagues
off
,
to
purchase
the
earliest
fruits
and
the
most
tempting
sweetmeats
,
preferred
to
Palma
grapes
or
Genoese
preserves
,
the
chestnuts
stolen
from
a
neighbor
's
orchard
,
or
the
dried
apples
in
his
loft
,
when
he
could
eat
as
well
of
the
nuts
and
apples
that
grew
in
my
garden
.
One
day
,
when
Benedetto
was
about
five
or
six
,
our
neighbor
Vasilio
,
who
,
according
to
the
custom
of
the
country
,
never
locked
up
his
purse
or
his
valuables
--
for
,
as
your
excellency
knows
,
there
are
no
thieves
in
Corsica
--
complained
that
he
had
lost
a
louis
out
of
his
purse
;
we
thought
he
must
have
made
a
mistake
in
counting
his
money
,
but
he
persisted
in
the
accuracy
of
his
statement
.
One
day
,
Benedetto
,
who
had
been
gone
from
the
house
since
morning
,
to
our
great
anxiety
,
did
not
return
until
late
in
the
evening
,
dragging
a
monkey
after
him
,
which
he
said
he
had
found
chained
to
the
foot
of
a
tree
.
For
more
than
a
month
past
,
the
mischievous
child
,
who
knew
not
what
to
wish
for
,
had
taken
it
into
his
head
to
have
a
monkey
.
A
boatman
,
who
had
passed
by
Rogliano
,
and
who
had
several
of
these
animals
,
whose
tricks
had
greatly
diverted
him
,
had
,
doubtless
,
suggested
this
idea
to
him
.
'
Monkeys
are
not
found
in
our
woods
chained
to
trees
,
'
said
I
;
'
confess
how
you
obtained
this
animal
.
'
Benedetto
maintained
the
truth
of
what
he
had
said
,
and
accompanied
it
with
details
that
did
more
honor
to
his
imagination
than
to
his
veracity
.
I
became
angry
;
he
began
to
laugh
,
I
threatened
to
strike
him
,
and
he
made
two
steps
backwards
.
'
You
can
not
beat
me
,
'
said
he
;
'
you
have
no
right
,
for
you
are
not
my
father
.
'
"
We
never
knew
who
had
revealed
this
fatal
secret
,
which
we
had
so
carefully
concealed
from
him
;
however
,
it
was
this
answer
,
in
which
the
child
's
whole
character
revealed
itself
,
that
almost
terrified
me
,
and
my
arm
fell
without
touching
him
.
The
boy
triumphed
,
and
this
victory
rendered
him
so
audacious
,
that
all
the
money
of
Assunta
,
whose
affection
for
him
seemed
to
increase
as
he
became
more
unworthy
of
it
,
was
spent
in
caprices
she
knew
not
how
to
contend
against
,
and
follies
she
had
not
the
courage
to
prevent
.
When
I
was
at
Rogliano
everything
went
on
properly
,
but
no
sooner
was
my
back
turned
than
Benedetto
became
master
,
and
everything
went
ill
.
When
he
was
only
eleven
,
he
chose
his
companions
from
among
the
young
men
of
eighteen
or
twenty
,
the
worst
characters
in
Bastia
,
or
,
indeed
,
in
Corsica
,
and
they
had
already
,
for
some
mischievous
pranks
,
been
several
times
threatened
with
a
prosecution
.
I
became
alarmed
,
as
any
prosecution
might
be
attended
with
serious
consequences
.
I
was
compelled
,
at
this
period
,
to
leave
Corsica
on
an
important
expedition
;
I
reflected
for
a
long
time
,
and
with
the
hope
of
averting
some
impending
misfortune
,
I
resolved
that
Benedetto
should
accompany
me
.
I
hoped
that
the
active
and
laborious
life
of
a
smuggler
,
with
the
severe
discipline
on
board
,
would
have
a
salutary
effect
on
his
character
,
which
was
now
well-nigh
,
if
not
quite
,
corrupt
.
I
spoke
to
Benedetto
alone
,
and
proposed
to
him
to
accompany
me
,
endeavoring
to
tempt
him
by
all
the
promises
most
likely
to
dazzle
the
imagination
of
a
child
of
twelve
.
He
heard
me
patiently
,
and
when
I
had
finished
,
burst
out
laughing
.
