Yes
;
you
.
How
comes
it
,
that
having
both
a
sister
and
an
adopted
son
,
you
have
never
spoken
to
me
of
either
?
"
"
Alas
,
I
have
still
to
recount
the
most
distressing
period
of
my
life
.
Anxious
as
you
may
suppose
I
was
to
behold
and
comfort
my
dear
sister
,
I
lost
no
time
in
hastening
to
Corsica
,
but
when
I
arrived
at
Rogliano
I
found
a
house
of
mourning
,
the
consequences
of
a
scene
so
horrible
that
the
neighbors
remember
and
speak
of
it
to
this
day
.
Acting
by
my
advice
,
my
poor
sister
had
refused
to
comply
with
the
unreasonable
demands
of
Benedetto
,
who
was
continually
tormenting
her
for
money
,
as
long
as
he
believed
there
was
a
sou
left
in
her
possession
.
One
morning
that
he
had
demanded
money
,
threatening
her
with
the
severest
consequences
if
she
did
not
supply
him
with
what
he
desired
,
he
disappeared
and
remained
away
all
day
,
leaving
the
kind-hearted
Assunta
,
who
loved
him
as
if
he
were
her
own
child
,
to
weep
over
his
conduct
and
bewail
his
absence
.
Evening
came
,
and
still
,
with
all
the
patient
solicitude
of
a
mother
,
she
watched
for
his
return
.
"
As
the
eleventh
hour
struck
,
he
entered
with
a
swaggering
air
,
attended
by
two
of
the
most
dissolute
and
reckless
of
his
boon
companions
.
She
stretched
out
her
arms
to
him
,
but
they
seized
hold
of
her
,
and
one
of
the
three
--
none
other
than
the
accursed
Benedetto
exclaimed
--
'
Put
her
to
torture
and
she
'll
soon
tell
us
where
her
money
is
.
'
"
It
unfortunately
happened
that
our
neighbor
,
Vasilio
,
was
at
Bastia
,
leaving
no
person
in
his
house
but
his
wife
;
no
human
creature
beside
could
hear
or
see
anything
that
took
place
within
our
dwelling
.
Two
held
poor
Assunta
,
who
,
unable
to
conceive
that
any
harm
was
intended
to
her
,
smiled
in
the
face
of
those
who
were
soon
to
become
her
executioners
.
The
third
proceeded
to
barricade
the
doors
and
windows
,
then
returned
,
and
the
three
united
in
stifling
the
cries
of
terror
incited
by
the
sight
of
these
preparations
,
and
then
dragged
Assunta
feet
foremost
towards
the
brazier
,
expecting
to
wring
from
her
an
avowal
of
where
her
supposed
treasure
was
secreted
.
In
the
struggle
her
clothes
caught
fire
,
and
they
were
obliged
to
let
go
their
hold
in
order
to
preserve
themselves
from
sharing
the
same
fate
.
Covered
with
flames
,
Assunta
rushed
wildly
to
the
door
,
but
it
was
fastened
;
she
flew
to
the
windows
,
but
they
were
also
secured
;
then
the
neighbors
heard
frightful
shrieks
;
it
was
Assunta
calling
for
help
.
The
cries
died
away
in
groans
,
and
next
morning
,
as
soon
as
Vasilio
's
wife
could
muster
up
courage
to
venture
abroad
,
she
caused
the
door
of
our
dwelling
to
be
opened
by
the
public
authorities
,
when
Assunta
,
although
dreadfully
burnt
,
was
found
still
breathing
;
every
drawer
and
closet
in
the
house
had
been
forced
open
,
and
the
money
stolen
.
Benedetto
never
again
appeared
at
Rogliano
,
neither
have
I
since
that
day
either
seen
or
heard
anything
concerning
him
.
"
It
was
subsequently
to
these
dreadful
events
that
I
waited
on
your
excellency
,
to
whom
it
would
have
been
folly
to
have
mentioned
Benedetto
,
since
all
trace
of
him
seemed
entirely
lost
;
or
of
my
sister
,
since
she
was
dead
.
"
"
And
in
what
light
did
you
view
the
occurrence
?
"
inquired
Monte
Cristo
.
"
As
a
punishment
for
the
crime
I
had
committed
,
"
answered
Bertuccio
.
"
Oh
,
those
Villeforts
are
an
accursed
race
!
"
"
Truly
they
are
,
"
murmured
the
count
in
a
lugubrious
tone
.
