You
understand
me
?

said
the
count
.
"
Bring
your
comrades
here
,
one
and
all
;
but
let
everything
remain
as
usual
,
only
close
the
shutters
of
the
ground
floor
.
"
"
And
those
of
the
second
floor
?
"
"
You
know
they
are
never
closed
.
Go
!

The
count
signified
his
intention
of
dining
alone
,
and
that
no
one
but
Ali
should
attend
him
.
Having
dined
with
his
usual
tranquillity
and
moderation
,
the
count
,
making
a
signal
to
Ali
to
follow
him
,
went
out
by
the
side-gate
and
on
reaching
the
Bois
de
Boulogne
turned
,
apparently
without
design
towards
Paris
and
at
twilight
;
found
himself
opposite
his
house
in
the
Champs
--
Elysees
.
All
was
dark
;
one
solitary
,
feeble
light
was
burning
in
the
porter
's
lodge
,
about
forty
paces
distant
from
the
house
,
as
Baptistin
had
said
.
Monte
Cristo
leaned
against
a
tree
,
and
with
that
scrutinizing
glance
which
was
so
rarely
deceived
,
looked
up
and
down
the
avenue
,
examined
the
passers-by
,
and
carefully
looked
down
the
neighboring
streets
,
to
see
that
no
one
was
concealed
.
Ten
minutes
passed
thus
,
and
he
was
convinced
that
no
one
was
watching
him
.
He
hastened
to
the
side-door
with
Ali
,
entered
hurriedly
,
and
by
the
servants
'
staircase
,
of
which
he
had
the
key
,
gained
his
bedroom
without
opening
or
disarranging
a
single
curtain
,
without
even
the
porter
having
the
slightest
suspicion
that
the
house
,
which
he
supposed
empty
,
contained
its
chief
occupant
.
Arrived
in
his
bedroom
,
the
count
motioned
to
Ali
to
stop
;
then
he
passed
into
the
dressing-room
,
which
he
examined
.
Everything
appeared
as
usual
--
the
precious
secretary
in
its
place
,
and
the
key
in
the
secretary
.
He
double
locked
it
,
took
the
key
,
returned
to
the
bedroom
door
,
removed
the
double
staple
of
the
bolt
,
and
went
in
.
Meanwhile
Ali
had
procured
the
arms
the
count
required
--
namely
,
a
short
carbine
and
a
pair
of
double-barrelled
pistols
,
with
which
as
sure
an
aim
might
be
taken
as
with
a
single-barrelled
one
.
Thus
armed
,
the
count
held
the
lives
of
five
men
in
his
hands
.
It
was
about
half-past
nine
.
The
count
and
Ali
ate
in
haste
a
crust
of
bread
and
drank
a
glass
of
Spanish
wine
;
then
Monte
Cristo
slipped
aside
one
of
the
movable
panels
,
which
enabled
him
to
see
into
the
adjoining
room
.
He
had
within
his
reach
his
pistols
and
carbine
,
and
Ali
,
standing
near
him
,
held
one
of
the
small
Arabian
hatchets
,
whose
form
has
not
varied
since
the
Crusades
.
Through
one
of
the
windows
of
the
bedroom
,
on
a
line
with
that
in
the
dressing-room
,
the
count
could
see
into
the
street
.
Two
hours
passed
thus
.

It
was
intensely
dark
;
still
Ali
,
thanks
to
his
wild
nature
,
and
the
count
,
thanks
doubtless
to
his
long
confinement
,
could
distinguish
in
the
darkness
the
slightest
movement
of
the
trees
.
The
little
light
in
the
lodge
had
long
been
extinct
.
It
might
be
expected
that
the
attack
,
if
indeed
an
attack
was
projected
,
would
be
made
from
the
staircase
of
the
ground
floor
,
and
not
from
a
window
;
in
Monte
Cristo
's
opinion
,
the
villains
sought
his
life
,
not
his
money
.
It
would
be
his
bedroom
they
would
attack
,
and
they
must
reach
it
by
the
back
staircase
,
or
by
the
window
in
the
dressing-room
.
The
clock
of
the
Invalides
struck
a
quarter
to
twelve
;
the
west
wind
bore
on
its
moistened
gusts
the
doleful
vibration
of
the
three
strokes
.
As
the
last
stroke
died
away
,
the
count
thought
he
heard
a
slight
noise
in
the
dressing-room
;
this
first
sound
,
or
rather
this
first
grinding
,
was
followed
by
a
second
,
then
a
third
;
at
the
fourth
,
the
count
knew
what
to
expect
.
A
firm
and
well-practised
hand
was
engaged
in
cutting
the
four
sides
of
a
pane
of
glass
with
a
diamond
.
The
count
felt
his
heart
beat
more
rapidly
.
Inured
as
men
may
be
to
danger
,
forewarned
as
they
may
be
of
peril
,
they
understand
,
by
the
fluttering
of
the
heart
and
the
shuddering
of
the
frame
,
the
enormous
difference
between
a
dream
and
a
reality
,
between
the
project
and
the
execution
.
However
,
Monte
Cristo
only
made
a
sign
to
apprise
Ali
,
who
,
understanding
that
danger
was
approaching
from
the
other
side
,
drew
nearer
to
his
master
.
Monte
Cristo
was
eager
to
ascertain
the
strength
and
number
of
his
enemies
.
The
window
whence
the
noise
proceeded
was
opposite
the
opening
by
which
the
count
could
see
into
the
dressing-room
.
He
fixed
his
eyes
on
that
window
--
he
distinguished
a
shadow
in
the
darkness
;
then
one
of
the
panes
became
quite
opaque
,
as
if
a
sheet
of
paper
were
stuck
on
the
outside
,
then
the
square
cracked
without
falling
.
Through
the
opening
an
arm
was
passed
to
find
the
fastening
,
then
a
second
;
the
window
turned
on
its
hinges
,
and
a
man
entered
.
He
was
alone
.
