Then
,
while
Madame
de
Saint
--
Meran
remained
on
her
knees
,
praying
fervently
,
Villefort
sent
for
a
cab
,
and
went
himself
to
fetch
his
wife
and
daughter
from
Madame
de
Morcerf
's
.
He
was
so
pale
when
he
appeared
at
the
door
of
the
ball-room
,
that
Valentine
ran
to
him
,
saying
--
"
Oh
,
father
,
some
misfortune
has
happened
!
"
"
Your
grandmamma
has
just
arrived
,
Valentine
,
"
said
M.
de
Villefort
.

"
And
grandpapa
?
"
inquired
the
young
girl
,
trembling
with
apprehension
.
M.
de
Villefort
only
replied
by
offering
his
arm
to
his
daughter
.
It
was
just
in
time
,
for
Valentine
's
head
swam
,
and
she
staggered
;
Madame
de
Villefort
instantly
hastened
to
her
assistance
,
and
aided
her
husband
in
dragging
her
to
the
carriage
,
saying
--
"
What
a
singular
event
!
Who
could
have
thought
it
?
Ah
,
yes
,
it
is
indeed
strange
!
"
And
the
wretched
family
departed
,
leaving
a
cloud
of
sadness
hanging
over
the
rest
of
the
evening
.
At
the
foot
of
the
stairs
,
Valentine
found
Barrois
awaiting
her
.
"
M.
Noirtier
wishes
to
see
you
to-night
,
he
said
,
in
an
undertone
.
"
Tell
him
I
will
come
when
I
leave
my
dear
grandmamma
,
"
she
replied
,
feeling
,
with
true
delicacy
,
that
the
person
to
whom
she
could
be
of
the
most
service
just
then
was
Madame
de
Saint
--
Meran
.
Valentine
found
her
grandmother
in
bed
;
silent
caresses
,
heartwrung
sobs
,
broken
sighs
,
burning
tears
,
were
all
that
passed
in
this
sad
interview
,
while
Madame
de
Villefort
,
leaning
on
her
husband
's
arm
,
maintained
all
outward
forms
of
respect
,
at
least
towards
the
poor
widow
.
She
soon
whispered
to
her
husband
,
"
I
think
it
would
be
better
for
me
to
retire
,
with
your
permission
,
for
the
sight
of
me
appears
still
to
afflict
your
mother-inlaw
.
"
Madame
de
Saint
--
Meran
heard
her
.
"
Yes
,
yes
,
"
she
said
softly
to
Valentine
,
"
let
her
leave
;
but
do
you
stay
.
"
Madame
de
Villefort
left
,
and
Valentine
remained
alone
beside
the
bed
,
for
the
procureur
,
overcome
with
astonishment
at
the
unexpected
death
,
had
followed
his
wife
.
Meanwhile
,
Barrois
had
returned
for
the
first
time
to
old
Noirtier
,
who
having
heard
the
noise
in
the
house
,
had
,
as
we
have
said
,
sent
his
old
servant
to
inquire
the
cause
;
on
his
return
,
his
quick
intelligent
eye
interrogated
the
messenger
.
"
Alas
,
sir
,
"
exclaimed
Barrois
,
"
a
great
misfortune
has
happened
.
Madame
de
Saint
--
Meran
has
arrived
,
and
her
husband
is
dead
!
"

M.
de
Saint
--
Meran
and
Noirtier
had
never
been
on
strict
terms
of
friendship
;
still
,
the
death
of
one
old
man
always
considerably
affects
another
.
Noirtier
let
his
head
fall
upon
his
chest
,
apparently
overwhelmed
and
thoughtful
;
then
he
closed
one
eye
,
in
token
of
inquiry
.
"
Mademoiselle
Valentine
?
"
Noirtier
nodded
his
head
.
"
She
is
at
the
ball
,
as
you
know
,
since
she
came
to
say
good-by
to
you
in
full
dress
.
"
Noirtier
again
closed
his
left
eye
.
"
Do
you
wish
to
see
her
?
"
Noirtier
again
made
an
affirmative
sign
.
"
Well
,
they
have
gone
to
fetch
her
,
no
doubt
,
from
Madame
de
Morcerf
's
;
I
will
await
her
return
,
and
beg
her
to
come
up
here
.
Is
that
what
you
wish
for
?
"
"
Yes
,
"
replied
the
invalid
.
