"
To
make
a
lunatic
asylum
of
it
,
similar
to
that
founded
by
the
Count
of
Pisani
at
Palermo
.
Do
you
know
about
that
institution
?
"
"
I
have
heard
of
it
.
"
"
It
is
a
magnificent
charity
.
"
Having
said
this
,
the
abbe
bowed
to
imply
he
wished
to
pursue
his
studies
.

The
visitor
either
understood
the
abbe
's
meaning
,
or
had
no
more
questions
to
ask
;
he
arose
,
and
the
abbe
accompanied
him
to
the
door
.
"
You
are
a
great
almsgiver
,
"
said
the
visitor
,
"
and
although
you
are
said
to
be
rich
,
I
will
venture
to
offer
you
something
for
your
poor
people
;
will
you
accept
my
offering
?
"
"
I
thank
you
,
sir
;
I
am
only
jealous
in
one
thing
,
and
that
is
that
the
relief
I
give
should
be
entirely
from
my
own
resources
.
"
"
However
"
--
"
My
resolution
,
sir
,
is
unchangeable
,
but
you
have
only
to
search
for
yourself
and
you
will
find
,
alas
,
but
too
many
objects
upon
whom
to
exercise
your
benevolence
.
"
The
abbe
once
more
bowed
as
he
opened
the
door
,
the
stranger
bowed
and
took
his
leave
,
and
the
carriage
conveyed
him
straight
to
the
house
of
M.
de
Villefort
.
An
hour
afterwards
the
carriage
was
again
ordered
,
and
this
time
it
went
to
the
Rue
Fontaine
--
Saint-George
,
and
stopped
at
No.
5
,
where
Lord
Wilmore
lived
.
The
stranger
had
written
to
Lord
Wilmore
,
requesting
an
interview
,
which
the
latter
had
fixed
for
ten
o'clock
.
As
the
envoy
of
the
prefect
of
police
arrived
ten
minutes
before
ten
,
he
was
told
that
Lord
Wilmore
,
who
was
precision
and
punctuality
personified
,
was
not
yet
come
in
,
but
that
he
would
be
sure
to
return
as
the
clock
struck
.

The
visitor
was
introduced
into
the
drawing-room
,
which
was
like
all
other
furnished
drawing-rooms
.
A
mantle-piece
,
with
two
modern
Sevres
vases
,
a
timepiece
representing
Cupid
with
his
bent
bow
,
a
mirror
with
an
engraving
on
each
side
--
one
representing
Homer
carrying
his
guide
,
the
other
,
Belisarius
begging
--
a
grayish
paper
;
red
and
black
tapestry
--
such
was
the
appearance
of
Lord
Wilmore
's
drawing-room
.
It
was
illuminated
by
lamps
with
ground-glass
shades
which
gave
only
a
feeble
light
,
as
if
out
of
consideration
for
the
envoy
's
weak
sight
.
After
ten
minutes
'
expectation
the
clock
struck
ten
;
at
the
fifth
stroke
the
door
opened
and
Lord
Wilmore
appeared
.
He
was
rather
above
the
middle
height
,
with
thin
reddish
whiskers
,
light
complexion
and
light
hair
,
turning
rather
gray
.
He
was
dressed
with
all
the
English
peculiarity
,
namely
,
in
a
blue
coat
,
with
gilt
buttons
and
high
collar
,
in
the
fashion
of
1811
,
a
white
kerseymere
waistcoat
,
and
nankeen
pantaloons
,
three
inches
too
short
,
but
which
were
prevented
by
straps
from
slipping
up
to
the
knee
.
His
first
remark
on
entering
was
--
"
You
know
,
sir
,
I
do
not
speak
French
?
"
"
I
know
you
do
not
like
to
converse
in
our
language
,
"
replied
the
envoy
.
"
But
you
may
use
it
,
"
replied
Lord
Wilmore
;
"
I
understand
it
.
"
