"
Sir
,
"
said
he
,
"
you
are
aware
that
Valentine
is
about
to
enter
her
nineteenth
year
,
which
renders
it
important
that
she
should
lose
no
time
in
forming
a
suitable
alliance
.
Nevertheless
,
you
have
not
been
forgotten
in
our
plans
,
and
we
have
fully
ascertained
beforehand
that
Valentine
's
future
husband
will
consent
,
not
to
live
in
this
house
,
for
that
might
not
be
pleasant
for
the
young
people
,
but
that
you
should
live
with
them
;
so
that
you
and
Valentine
,
who
are
so
attached
to
each
other
,
would
not
be
separated
,
and
you
would
be
able
to
pursue
exactly
the
same
course
of
life
which
you
have
hitherto
done
,
and
thus
,
instead
of
losing
,
you
will
be
a
gainer
by
the
change
,
as
it
will
secure
to
you
two
children
instead
of
one
,
to
watch
over
and
comfort
you
.
"
Noirtier
's
look
was
furious
;
it
was
very
evident
that
something
desperate
was
passing
in
the
old
man
's
mind
,
for
a
cry
of
anger
and
grief
rose
in
his
throat
,
and
not
being
able
to
find
vent
in
utterance
,
appeared
almost
to
choke
him
,
for
his
face
and
lips
turned
quite
purple
with
the
struggle
.
Villefort
quietly
opened
a
window
,
saying
,
"
It
is
very
warm
,
and
the
heat
affects
M.
Noirtier
.
"
He
then
returned
to
his
place
,
but
did
not
sit
down
.
"
This
marriage
,
"
added
Madame
de
Villefort
,
"
is
quite
agreeable
to
the
wishes
of
M.
d'Epinay
and
his
family
;
besides
,
he
had
no
relations
nearer
than
an
uncle
and
aunt
,
his
mother
having
died
at
his
birth
,
and
his
father
having
been
assassinated
in
1815
,
that
is
to
say
,
when
he
was
but
two
years
old
;
it
naturally
followed
that
the
child
was
permitted
to
choose
his
own
pursuits
,
and
he
has
,
therefore
,
seldom
acknowledged
any
other
authority
but
that
of
his
own
will
.
"
"
That
assassination
was
a
mysterious
affair
,
"
said
Villefort
,
"
and
the
perpetrators
have
hitherto
escaped
detection
,
although
suspicion
has
fallen
on
the
head
of
more
than
one
person
.
"
Noirtier
made
such
an
effort
that
his
lips
expanded
into
a
smile
.
"
Now
,
"
continued
Villefort
,
"
those
to
whom
the
guilt
really
belongs
,
by
whom
the
crime
was
committed
,
on
whose
heads
the
justice
of
man
may
probably
descend
here
,
and
the
certain
judgment
of
God
hereafter
,
would
rejoice
in
the
opportunity
thus
afforded
of
bestowing
such
a
peace-offering
as
Valentine
on
the
son
of
him
whose
life
they
so
ruthlessly
destroyed
.
"
Noirtier
had
succeeded
in
mastering
his
emotion
more
than
could
have
been
deemed
possible
with
such
an
enfeebled
and
shattered
frame
.
"
Yes
,
I
understand
,
"
was
the
reply
contained
in
his
look
;
and
this
look
expressed
a
feeling
of
strong
indignation
,
mixed
with
profound
contempt
.
Villefort
fully
understood
his
father
's
meaning
,
and
answered
by
a
slight
shrug
of
his
shoulders
.
He
then
motioned
to
his
wife
to
take
leave
.
"
Now
sir
,
"
said
Madame
de
Villefort
,
"
I
must
bid
you
farewell
.
Would
you
like
me
to
send
Edward
to
you
for
a
short
time
?
"
It
had
been
agreed
that
the
old
man
should
express
his
approbation
by
closing
his
eyes
,
his
refusal
by
winking
them
several
times
,
and
if
he
had
some
desire
or
feeling
to
express
,
he
raised
them
to
heaven
.
If
he
wanted
Valentine
,
he
closed
his
right
eye
only
,
and
if
Barrois
,
the
left
.
At
Madame
de
Villefort
's
proposition
he
instantly
winked
his
eyes
.
Provoked
by
a
complete
refusal
,
she
bit
her
lip
and
said
,
"
Then
shall
I
send
Valentine
to
you
?
"
The
old
man
closed
his
eyes
eagerly
,
thereby
intimating
that
such
was
his
wish
.
M.
and
Madame
de
Villefort
bowed
and
left
the
room
,
giving
orders
that
Valentine
should
be
summoned
to
her
grandfather
's
presence
,
and
feeling
sure
that
she
would
have
much
to
do
to
restore
calmness
to
the
perturbed
spirit
of
the
invalid
.
Valentine
,
with
a
color
still
heightened
by
emotion
,
entered
the
room
just
after
her
parents
had
quitted
it
.
One
look
was
sufficient
to
tell
her
that
her
grandfather
was
suffering
,
and
that
there
was
much
on
his
mind
which
he
was
wishing
to
communicate
to
her
.
"
Dear
grandpapa
,
"
cried
she
,
"
what
has
happened
?
They
have
vexed
you
,
and
you
are
angry
?
"
The
paralytic
closed
his
eyes
in
token
of
assent
.
"
Who
has
displeased
you
?
Is
it
my
father
?
"
"
No
.
"
"
Madame
de
Villefort
?
"
"
No
.
"
