"
And
I
,
"
replied
the
visitor
,
changing
his
idiom
,
"
know
enough
of
English
to
keep
up
the
conversation
.
Do
not
put
yourself
to
the
slightest
inconvenience
.
"
"
Aw
?
"
said
Lord
Wilmore
,
with
that
tone
which
is
only
known
to
natives
of
Great
Britain
.
The
envoy
presented
his
letter
of
introduction
,
which
the
latter
read
with
English
coolness
,
and
having
finished
--
"
I
understand
,
"
said
he
,
"
perfectly
.
"
Then
began
the
questions
,
which
were
similar
to
those
which
had
been
addressed
to
the
Abbe
Busoni
.
But
as
Lord
Wilmore
,
in
the
character
of
the
count
's
enemy
,
was
less
restrained
in
his
answers
,
they
were
more
numerous
;
he
described
the
youth
of
Monte
Cristo
,
who
he
said
,
at
ten
years
of
age
,
entered
the
service
of
one
of
the
petty
sovereigns
of
India
who
make
war
on
the
English
.
It
was
there
Wilmore
had
first
met
him
and
fought
against
him
;
and
in
that
war
Zaccone
had
been
taken
prisoner
,
sent
to
England
,
and
consigned
to
the
hulks
,
whence
he
had
escaped
by
swimming
.
Then
began
his
travels
,
his
duels
,
his
caprices
;
then
the
insurrection
in
Greece
broke
out
,
and
he
had
served
in
the
Grecian
ranks
.
While
in
that
service
he
had
discovered
a
silver
mine
in
the
mountains
of
Thessaly
,
but
he
had
been
careful
to
conceal
it
from
every
one
.
After
the
battle
of
Navarino
,
when
the
Greek
government
was
consolidated
,
he
asked
of
King
Otho
a
mining
grant
for
that
district
,
which
was
given
him
.
Hence
that
immense
fortune
,
which
,
in
Lord
Wilmore
's
opinion
,
possibly
amounted
to
one
or
two
millions
per
annum
--
a
precarious
fortune
,
which
might
be
momentarily
lost
by
the
failure
of
the
mine
.
"
But
,
"
asked
the
visitor
,
"
do
you
know
why
he
came
to
France
?
"
"
He
is
speculating
in
railways
,
"
said
Lord
Wilmore
,
"
and
as
he
is
an
expert
chemist
and
physicist
,
he
has
invented
a
new
system
of
telegraphy
,
which
he
is
seeking
to
bring
to
perfection
.
"
"
How
much
does
he
spend
yearly
?
"
asked
the
prefect
.
"
Not
more
than
five
or
six
hundred
thousand
francs
,
"
said
Lord
Wilmore
;
"
he
is
a
miser
.
"
Hatred
evidently
inspired
the
Englishman
,
who
,
knowing
no
other
reproach
to
bring
on
the
count
,
accused
him
of
avarice
.
"
Do
you
know
his
house
at
Auteuil
?
"
"
Certainly
.
"
"
What
do
you
know
respecting
it
?
"
