Let
me
hasten
to
add
,
"
continued
he
,
"
that
the
testator
,
having
only
the
right
to
alienate
a
part
of
his
fortune
,
and
having
alienated
it
all
,
the
will
will
not
bear
scrutiny
,
and
is
declared
null
and
void
.
"
"
Yes
.
"
said
Villefort
;
"
but
I
warn
M.
d'Epinay
,
that
during
my
life-time
my
father
's
will
shall
never
be
questioned
,
my
position
forbidding
any
doubt
to
be
entertained
.
"
"
Sir
,
"
said
Franz
,
"
I
regret
much
that
such
a
question
has
been
raised
in
the
presence
of
Mademoiselle
Valentine
;
I
have
never
inquired
the
amount
of
her
fortune
,
which
,
however
limited
it
may
be
,
exceeds
mine
.
My
family
has
sought
consideration
in
this
alliance
with
M.
de
Villefort
;
all
I
seek
is
happiness
.
"
Valentine
imperceptibly
thanked
him
,
while
two
silent
tears
rolled
down
her
cheeks
.
"
Besides
,
sir
,
"
said
Villefort
,
addressing
himself
to
his
future
son-inlaw
,
"
excepting
the
loss
of
a
portion
of
your
hopes
,
this
unexpected
will
need
not
personally
wound
you
;
M.
Noirtier
's
weakness
of
mind
sufficiently
explains
it
.
It
is
not
because
Mademoiselle
Valentine
is
going
to
marry
you
that
he
is
angry
,
but
because
she
will
marry
,
a
union
with
any
other
would
have
caused
him
the
same
sorrow
.
Old
age
is
selfish
,
sir
,
and
Mademoiselle
de
Villefort
has
been
a
faithful
companion
to
M.
Noirtier
,
which
she
can
not
be
when
she
becomes
the
Baroness
d'Epinay
.
My
father
's
melancholy
state
prevents
our
speaking
to
him
on
any
subjects
,
which
the
weakness
of
his
mind
would
incapacitate
him
from
understanding
,
and
I
am
perfectly
convinced
that
at
the
present
time
,
although
,
he
knows
that
his
granddaughter
is
going
to
be
married
,
M.
Noirtier
has
even
forgotten
the
name
of
his
intended
grandson
.
"
M.
de
Villefort
had
scarcely
said
this
,
when
the
door
opened
,
and
Barrois
appeared
.
"
Gentlemen
,
"
said
he
,
in
a
tone
strangely
firm
for
a
servant
speaking
to
his
masters
under
such
solemn
circumstances
--
"
gentlemen
,
M.
Noirtier
de
Villefort
wishes
to
speak
immediately
to
M.
Franz
de
Quesnel
,
baron
d'Epinay
;
"
he
,
as
well
as
the
notary
,
that
there
might
be
no
mistake
in
the
person
,
gave
all
his
titles
to
the
bride-groom
elect
.
Villefort
started
,
Madame
de
Villefort
let
her
son
slip
from
her
knees
,
Valentine
rose
,
pale
and
dumb
as
a
statue
.
Albert
and
Chateau
--
Renaud
exchanged
a
second
look
,
more
full
of
amazement
than
the
first
.
The
notary
looked
at
Villefort
.
"
It
is
impossible
,
"
said
the
procureur
.
"
M.
d'Epinay
can
not
leave
the
drawing-room
at
present
.
"
"
It
is
at
this
moment
,
"
replied
Barrois
with
the
same
firmness
,
"
that
M.
Noirtier
,
my
master
,
wishes
to
speak
on
important
subjects
to
M.
Franz
d'Epinay
.
"
"
Grandpapa
Noirtier
can
speak
now
,
then
,
"
said
Edward
,
with
his
habitual
quickness
.
However
,
his
remark
did
not
make
Madame
de
Villefort
even
smile
,
so
much
was
every
mind
engaged
,
and
so
solemn
was
the
situation
.
Astonishment
was
at
its
height
Something
like
a
smile
was
perceptible
on
Madame
de
Villefort
's
countenance
.
Valentine
instinctively
raised
her
eyes
,
as
if
to
thank
heaven
.
"
Pray
go
,
Valentine
,
"
said
;
M.
de
Villefort
,
"
and
see
what
this
new
fancy
of
your
grandfather
's
is
.
"
Valentine
rose
quickly
,
and
was
hastening
joyfully
towards
the
door
,
when
M.
de
Villefort
altered
his
intention
.
