By
chemists
and
persons
who
have
a
taste
for
chemistry
,
"
said
Monte
Cristo
carelessly
.
"
And
then
,
"
said
Madame
de
Villefort
,
endeavoring
by
a
struggle
,
and
with
effort
,
to
get
away
from
her
thoughts
,
"
however
skilfully
it
is
prepared
,
crime
is
always
crime
,
and
if
it
avoid
human
scrutiny
,
it
does
not
escape
the
eye
of
God
.
The
Orientals
are
stronger
than
we
are
in
cases
of
conscience
,
and
,
very
prudently
,
have
no
hell
--
that
is
the
point
.
"
"
Really
,
madame
,
this
is
a
scruple
which
naturally
must
occur
to
a
pure
mind
like
yours
,
but
which
would
easily
yield
before
sound
reasoning
.
The
bad
side
of
human
thought
will
always
be
defined
by
the
paradox
of
Jean
Jacques
Rousseau
--
you
remember
--
the
mandarin
who
is
killed
five
hundred
leagues
off
by
raising
the
tip
of
the
finger
.
Man
's
whole
life
passes
in
doing
these
things
,
and
his
intellect
is
exhausted
by
reflecting
on
them
.
You
will
find
very
few
persons
who
will
go
and
brutally
thrust
a
knife
in
the
heart
of
a
fellow-creature
,
or
will
administer
to
him
,
in
order
to
remove
him
from
the
surface
of
the
globe
on
which
we
move
with
life
and
animation
,
that
quantity
of
arsenic
of
which
we
just
now
talked
.
Such
a
thing
is
really
out
of
rule
--
eccentric
or
stupid
.
To
attain
such
a
point
,
the
blood
must
be
heated
to
thirty-six
degrees
,
the
pulse
be
,
at
least
,
at
ninety
,
and
the
feelings
excited
beyond
the
ordinary
limit
.
But
suppose
one
pass
,
as
is
permissible
in
philology
,
from
the
word
itself
to
its
softened
synonym
,
then
,
instead
of
committing
an
ignoble
assassination
you
make
an
'
elimination
;
'
you
merely
and
simply
remove
from
your
path
the
individual
who
is
in
your
way
,
and
that
without
shock
or
violence
,
without
the
display
of
the
sufferings
which
,
in
the
case
of
becoming
a
punishment
,
make
a
martyr
of
the
victim
,
and
a
butcher
,
in
every
sense
of
the
word
,
of
him
who
inflicts
them
.
Then
there
will
be
no
blood
,
no
groans
,
no
convulsions
,
and
above
all
,
no
consciousness
of
that
horrid
and
compromising
moment
of
accomplishing
the
act
--
then
one
escapes
the
clutch
of
the
human
law
,
which
says
,
'
Do
not
disturb
society
!
'
This
is
the
mode
in
which
they
manage
these
things
,
and
succeed
in
Eastern
climes
,
where
there
are
grave
and
phlegmatic
persons
who
care
very
little
for
the
questions
of
time
in
conjunctures
of
importance
.
"
"
Yet
conscience
remains
,
"
remarked
Madame
de
Villefort
in
an
agitated
voice
,
and
with
a
stifled
sigh
.
"
Yes
,
"
answered
Monte
Cristo
"
happily
,
yes
,
conscience
does
remain
;
and
if
it
did
not
,
how
wretched
we
should
be
!
After
every
action
requiring
exertion
,
it
is
conscience
that
saves
us
,
for
it
supplies
us
with
a
thousand
good
excuses
,
of
which
we
alone
are
judges
;
and
these
reasons
,
howsoever
excellent
in
producing
sleep
,
would
avail
us
but
very
little
before
a
tribunal
,
when
we
were
tried
for
our
lives
.
Thus
Richard
III.
,
for
instance
,
was
marvellously
served
by
his
conscience
after
the
putting
away
of
the
two
children
of
Edward
IV.
;
in
fact
,
he
could
say
,
'
These
two
children
of
a
cruel
and
persecuting
king
,
who
have
inherited
the
vices
of
their
father
,
which
I
alone
could
perceive
in
their
juvenile
propensities
--
these
two
children
are
impediments
in
my
way
of
promoting
the
happiness
of
the
English
people
,
whose
unhappiness
they
(
the
children
)
would
infallibly
have
caused
.
'
Thus
was
Lady
Macbeth
served
by
her
conscience
,
when
she
sought
to
give
her
son
,
and
not
her
husband
(
whatever
Shakespeare
may
say
)
,
a
throne
.
Ah
,
maternal
love
is
a
great
virtue
,
a
powerful
motive
--
so
powerful
that
it
excuses
a
multitude
of
things
,
even
if
,
after
Duncan
's
death
,
Lady
Macbeth
had
been
at
all
pricked
by
her
conscience
.
"
Madame
de
Villefort
listened
with
avidity
to
these
appalling
maxims
and
horrible
paradoxes
,
delivered
by
the
count
with
that
ironical
simplicity
which
was
peculiar
to
him
.
After
a
moment
's
silence
,
the
lady
inquired
,
"
Do
you
know
,
my
dear
count
,
"
she
said
,
"
that
you
are
a
very
terrible
reasoner
,
and
that
you
look
at
the
world
through
a
somewhat
distempered
medium
?
Have
you
really
measured
the
world
by
scrutinies
,
or
through
alembics
and
crucibles
?
For
you
must
indeed
be
a
great
chemist
,
and
the
elixir
you
administered
to
my
son
,
which
recalled
him
to
life
almost
instantaneously
"
--
"
Oh
,
do
not
place
any
reliance
on
that
,
madame
;
one
drop
of
that
elixir
sufficed
to
recall
life
to
a
dying
child
,
but
three
drops
would
have
impelled
the
blood
into
his
lungs
in
such
a
way
as
to
have
produced
most
violent
palpitations
;
six
would
have
suspended
his
respiration
,
and
caused
syncope
more
serious
than
that
in
which
he
was
;
ten
would
have
destroyed
him
.
You
know
,
madame
,
how
suddenly
I
snatched
him
from
those
phials
which
he
so
imprudently
touched
?
