Monte
Cristo
turned
to
Albert
.
"
Do
you
know
modern
Greek
,
"
asked
he
.
"
Alas
,
no
,
"
said
Albert
;
"
nor
even
ancient
Greek
,
my
dear
count
;
never
had
Homer
or
Plato
a
more
unworthy
scholar
than
myself
.
"
"
Then
,
"
said
Haidee
,
proving
by
her
remark
that
she
had
quite
understood
Monte
Cristo
's
question
and
Albert
's
answer
,
"
then
I
will
speak
either
in
French
or
Italian
,
if
my
lord
so
wills
it
.

Monte
Cristo
reflected
one
instant
.
"
You
will
speak
in
Italian
,
"
said
he
.
Then
,
turning
towards
Albert
--
"
It
is
a
pity
you
do
not
understand
either
ancient
or
modern
Greek
,
both
of
which
Haidee
speaks
so
fluently
;
the
poor
child
will
be
obliged
to
talk
to
you
in
Italian
,
which
will
give
you
but
a
very
false
idea
of
her
powers
of
conversation
.
"
The
count
made
a
sign
to
Haidee
to
address
his
visitor
.
"
Sir
,
"
she
said
to
Morcerf
,
"
you
are
most
welcome
as
the
friend
of
my
lord
and
master
.
"
This
was
said
in
excellent
Tuscan
,
and
with
that
soft
Roman
accent
which
makes
the
language
of
Dante
as
sonorous
as
that
of
Homer
.
Then
,
turning
to
Ali
,
she
directed
him
to
bring
coffee
and
pipes
,
and
when
he
had
left
the
room
to
execute
the
orders
of
his
young
mistress
she
beckoned
Albert
to
approach
nearer
to
her
.
Monte
Cristo
and
Morcerf
drew
their
seats
towards
a
small
table
,
on
which
were
arranged
music
,
drawings
,
and
vases
of
flowers
.
Ali
then
entered
bringing
coffee
and
chibouques
;
as
to
M.
Baptistin
,
this
portion
of
the
building
was
interdicted
to
him
.
Albert
refused
the
pipe
which
the
Nubian
offered
him
.
"
Oh
,
take
it
--
take
it
,
"
said
the
count
;
"
Haidee
is
almost
as
civilized
as
a
Parisian
;
the
smell
of
an
Havana
is
disagreeable
to
her
,
but
the
tobacco
of
the
East
is
a
most
delicious
perfume
,
you
know
.
"
Ali
left
the
room
.
The
cups
of
coffee
were
all
prepared
,
with
the
addition
of
sugar
,
which
had
been
brought
for
Albert
.
Monte
Cristo
and
Haidee
took
the
beverage
in
the
original
Arabian
manner
,
that
is
to
say
,
without
sugar
.
Haidee
took
the
porcelain
cup
in
her
little
slender
fingers
and
conveyed
it
to
her
mouth
with
all
the
innocent
artlessness
of
a
child
when
eating
or
drinking
something
which
it
likes
.
At
this
moment
two
women
entered
,
bringing
salvers
filled
with
ices
and
sherbet
,
which
they
placed
on
two
small
tables
appropriated
to
that
purpose
.
"
My
dear
host
,
and
you
,
signora
,
"
said
Albert
,
in
Italian
,
"
excuse
my
apparent
stupidity
.
I
am
quite
bewildered
,
and
it
is
natural
that
it
should
be
so
.
Here
I
am
in
the
heart
of
Paris
;
but
a
moment
ago
I
heard
the
rumbling
of
the
omnibuses
and
the
tinkling
of
the
bells
of
the
lemonade-sellers
,
and
now
I
feel
as
if
I
were
suddenly
transported
to
the
East
;
not
such
as
I
have
seen
it
,
but
such
as
my
dreams
have
painted
it
.
Oh
,
signora
,
if
I
could
but
speak
Greek
,
your
conversation
,
added
to
the
fairy-scene
which
surrounds
me
,
would
furnish
an
evening
of
such
delight
as
it
would
be
impossible
for
me
ever
to
forget
.

"
I
speak
sufficient
Italian
to
enable
me
to
converse
with
you
,
sir
,
"
said
Haidee
quietly
;
"
and
if
you
like
what
is
Eastern
,
I
will
do
my
best
to
secure
the
gratification
of
your
tastes
while
you
are
here
.
"
"
On
what
subject
shall
I
converse
with
her
?
"
said
Albert
,
in
a
low
tone
to
Monte
Cristo
.
"
Just
what
you
please
;
you
may
speak
of
her
country
and
of
her
youthful
reminiscences
,
or
if
you
like
it
better
you
can
talk
of
Rome
,
Naples
,
or
Florence
.
