Eight
!

repeated
Bertuccio
.
"
Stop
!
You
are
in
a
shocking
hurry
to
be
off
--
you
forget
one
of
my
guests
.
Lean
a
little
to
the
left
.
Stay
!
look
at
M.
Andrea
Cavalcanti
,
the
young
man
in
a
black
coat
,
looking
at
Murillo
's
Madonna
;
now
he
is
turning
.
"
This
time
Bertuccio
would
have
uttered
an
exclamation
,
had
not
a
look
from
Monte
Cristo
silenced
him
.
"
Benedetto
?
"
he
muttered
;
"
fatality
!
"
"
Half-past
six
o'clock
has
just
struck
,
M.
Bertuccio
,
"
said
the
count
severely
;
"
I
ordered
dinner
at
that
hour
,
and
I
do
not
like
to
wait
;
"
and
he
returned
to
his
guests
,
while
Bertuccio
,
leaning
against
the
wall
,
succeeded
in
reaching
the
dining-room
.
Five
minutes
afterwards
the
doors
of
the
drawing-room
were
thrown
open
,
and
Bertuccio
appearing
said
,
with
a
violent
effort
,
"
The
dinner
waits
.

The
Count
of
Monte
Cristo
offered
his
arm
to
Madame
de
Villefort
.
"
M
de
Villefort
,
"
he
said
,
"
will
you
conduct
the
Baroness
Danglars
?
"
Villefort
complied
,
and
they
passed
on
to
the
dining-room
.
It
was
evident
that
one
sentiment
affected
all
the
guests
on
entering
the
dining-room
.
Each
one
asked
what
strange
influence
had
brought
them
to
this
house
,
and
yet
astonished
,
even
uneasy
though
they
were
,
they
still
felt
that
they
would
not
like
to
be
absent
.
The
recent
events
,
the
solitary
and
eccentric
position
of
the
count
,
his
enormous
,
nay
,
almost
incredible
fortune
,
should
have
made
men
cautious
,
and
have
altogether
prevented
ladies
visiting
a
house
where
there
was
no
one
of
their
own
sex
to
receive
them
;
and
yet
curiosity
had
been
enough
to
lead
them
to
overleap
the
bounds
of
prudence
and
decorum
.
And
all
present
,
even
including
Cavalcanti
and
his
son
,
notwithstanding
the
stiffness
of
the
one
and
the
carelessness
of
the
other
,
were
thoughtful
,
on
finding
themselves
assembled
at
the
house
of
this
incomprehensible
man
.
Madame
Danglars
had
started
when
Villefort
,
on
the
count
's
invitation
,
offered
his
arm
;
and
Villefort
felt
that
his
glance
was
uneasy
beneath
his
gold
spectacles
,
when
he
felt
the
arm
of
the
baroness
press
upon
his
own
.
None
of
this
had
escaped
the
count
,
and
even
by
this
mere
contact
of
individuals
the
scene
had
already
acquired
considerable
interest
for
an
observer
.
M.
de
Villefort
had
on
the
right
hand
Madame
Danglars
,
on
his
left
Morrel
.
The
count
was
seated
between
Madame
de
Villefort
and
Danglars
;
the
other
seats
were
filled
by
Debray
,
who
was
placed
between
the
two
Cavalcanti
,
and
by
Chateau
--
Renaud
,
seated
between
Madame
de
Villefort
and
Morrel
.

The
repast
was
magnificent
;
Monte
Cristo
had
endeavored
completely
to
overturn
the
Parisian
ideas
,
and
to
feed
the
curiosity
as
much
as
the
appetite
of
his
guests
.
It
was
an
Oriental
feast
that
he
offered
to
them
,
but
of
such
a
kind
as
the
Arabian
fairies
might
be
supposed
to
prepare
.
Every
delicious
fruit
that
the
four
quarters
of
the
globe
could
provide
was
heaped
in
vases
from
China
and
jars
from
Japan
.
Rare
birds
,
retaining
their
most
brilliant
plumage
,
enormous
fish
,
spread
upon
massive
silver
dishes
,
together
with
every
wine
produced
in
the
Archipelago
,
Asia
Minor
,
or
the
Cape
,
sparkling
in
bottles
,
whose
grotesque
shape
seemed
to
give
an
additional
flavor
to
the
draught
--
all
these
,
like
one
of
the
displays
with
which
Apicius
of
old
gratified
his
guests
,
passed
in
review
before
the
eyes
of
the
astonished
Parisians
,
who
understood
that
it
was
possible
to
expend
a
thousand
louis
upon
a
dinner
for
ten
persons
,
but
only
on
the
condition
of
eating
pearls
,
like
Cleopatra
,
or
drinking
refined
gold
,
like
Lorenzo
de
'
Medici
.
Monte
Cristo
noticed
the
general
astonishment
,
and
began
laughing
and
joking
about
it
.
"
Gentlemen
,
"
he
said
,
"
you
will
admit
that
,
when
arrived
at
a
certain
degree
of
fortune
,
the
superfluities
of
life
are
all
that
can
be
desired
;
and
the
ladies
will
allow
that
,
after
having
risen
to
a
certain
eminence
of
position
,
the
ideal
alone
can
be
more
exalted
.
Now
,
to
follow
out
this
reasoning
,
what
is
the
marvellous
?
--
that
which
we
do
not
understand
.
What
is
it
that
we
really
desire
?
--
that
which
we
can
not
obtain
.
Now
,
to
see
things
which
I
can
not
understand
,
to
procure
impossibilities
,
these
are
the
study
of
my
life
.
I
gratify
my
wishes
by
two
means
--
my
will
and
my
money
.
I
take
as
much
interest
in
the
pursuit
of
some
whim
as
you
do
,
M.
Danglars
,
in
promoting
a
new
railway
line
;
you
,
M.
de
Villefort
,
in
condemning
a
culprit
to
death
;
you
,
M.
Debray
,
in
pacifying
a
kingdom
;
you
,
M.
de
Chateau
--
Renaud
,
in
pleasing
a
woman
;
and
you
,
Morrel
,
in
breaking
a
horse
that
no
one
can
ride
.
For
example
,
you
see
these
two
fish
;
one
brought
from
fifty
leagues
beyond
St.
Petersburg
,
the
other
five
leagues
from
Naples
.
Is
it
not
amusing
to
see
them
both
on
the
same
table
?
