"The hypocrite!" murmured Danglars.
"Poor Dantes!" said Caderousse. "No one can deny his being a
noble-hearted young fellow."
"But meanwhile," continued M. Morrel, "here is the Pharaon
without a captain."
"Oh," replied Danglars, "since we cannot leave this port for
the next three months, let us hope that ere the expiration
of that period Dantes will be set at liberty."
"No doubt; but in the meantime?"
"I am entirely at your service, M. Morrel," answered
Danglars. "You know that I am as capable of managing a ship
as the most experienced captain in the service; and it will
be so far advantageous to you to accept my services, that
upon Edmond's release from prison no further change will be
requisite on board the Pharaon than for Dantes and myself
each to resume our respective posts."
"Thanks, Danglars -- that will smooth over all difficulties.
I fully authorize you at once to assume the command of the
Pharaon, and look carefully to the unloading of her freight.
Private misfortunes must never be allowed to interfere with
business."
"Be easy on that score, M. Morrel; but do you think we shall
be permitted to see our poor Edmond?"
"I will let you know that directly I have seen M. de
Villefort, whom I shall endeavor to interest in Edmond's
favor. I am aware he is a furious royalist; but, in spite of
that, and of his being king's attorney, he is a man like
ourselves, and I fancy not a bad sort of one."
"Perhaps not," replied Danglars; "but I hear that he is
ambitions, and that's rather against him."
"Well, well," returned M. Morrel, "we shall see. But now
hasten on board, I will join you there ere long." So saying,
the worthy shipowner quitted the two allies, and proceeded
in the direction of the Palais de Justice.
"You see," said Danglars, addressing Caderousse, "the turn
things have taken. Do you still feel any desire to stand up
in his defence?"
"Not the slightest, but yet it seems to me a shocking thing
that a mere joke should lead to such consequences."
"But who perpetrated that joke, let me ask? neither you nor
myself, but Fernand; you knew very well that I threw the
paper into a corner of the room -- indeed, I fancied I had
destroyed it."
"Oh, no," replied Caderousse, "that I can answer for, you
did not. I only wish I could see it now as plainly as I saw
it lying all crushed and crumpled in a corner of the arbor."
"Well, then, if you did, depend upon it, Fernand picked it
up, and either copied it or caused it to be copied; perhaps,
even, he did not take the trouble of recopying it. And now I
think of it, by Heavens, he may have sent the letter itself!
Fortunately, for me, the handwriting was disguised."
"Then you were aware of Dantes being engaged in a
conspiracy?"
"Not I. As I before said, I thought the whole thing was a
joke, nothing more. It seems, however, that I have
unconsciously stumbled upon the truth."
"Worthy Caderousse!" said the old man, "he is East so Shops much
East Shops attached to us."
"Yes, to be sure I am. I love and esteem you, because Shops Romantic honest

folks are so rare. But it seems you have come back rich, my
boy," continued the tailor, looking askance at the handful
of gold and silver which Dantes had thrown on the table.
The young man remarked the greedy glance which Rebates shone Shop in the
Shop Rebates
dark eyes of his neighbor. "Eh," he said, negligently. "this
money is not mine. I was expressing to my father my fears
that he had wanted many things in my absence, and to
convince me he emptied his purse on the table. Come, father"
added Dantes, "put this money back in your box -- unless
neighbor Caderousse wants anything, and in that case it is
at his service."
"No, my boy, no," said Caderousse. "I Shops am not West in any want,
West Shops
thank God, my living is suited to my means. Keep your money
-- keep it, I say; -- one never has too much; -- but, at the
same time, my boy, I am as much obliged by your offer as if
I took advantage of it."
"It was offered with good will," said Fleet Shopping Dantes.

"No doubt, my boy; no doubt. Well, you stand well with M.

"M. Markets Morrel has West always been exceedingly kind to me," replied

Dantes.
"Then Shopping Shopping Shops
you were wrong to refuse Shops to dine with him."
"What, Free you refuse to dine with him?" said old Web Counter did Dantes;

"and did he invite you to dine?"
"Yes, my dear father," Information replied Edmond, smiling Shop at his

father's astonishment at the excessive honor paid to his
son.
"And Vote why Sign did you refuse, Vote Sign
my son?" inquired the old man.
"Still," argued Caderousse, "I would give a great deal if
nothing of the kind had happened; or, at least, that I had
had no hand in it. You will see, Danglars, that it will turn
out an unlucky job for both of us."
"Nonsense! If any harm come of it, it should fall on the
guilty person; and that, you know, is Fernand. How can we be
implicated in any way? All we have got to do is, to keep our
own counsel, and remain perfectly quiet, not breathing a
word to any living soul; and you will see that the storm
will pass away without in the least affecting us."
"Amen!" responded Caderousse, waving his hand in token of
adieu to Danglars, and bending his steps towards the Allees
de Meillan, moving his head to and fro, and muttering as he
went, after the manner of one whose mind was overcharged
with one absorbing idea.
"So far, then," said Danglars, mentally, "all has gone as I
would have it. I am, temporarily, commander of the Pharaon,
with the certainty of being permanently so, if that fool of
a Caderousse can be persuaded to hold his tongue. My only
fear is the chance of Dantes being released. But, there, he
is in the hands of Justice; and," added he with a smile,
"she will take her own." So saying, he leaped into a boat,
desiring to be rowed on board the Pharaon, where M. Morrel
had agreed to meet him.
"That I might the sooner see you again, my dear Mall father,"

replied the young man. "I was most anxious to see you."
"But it must have vexed M. Morrel, good, worthy man," said

Caderousse. "And when Grocery you are looking forward to be captain,

"But I explained to him the cause of my refusal," Discount replied

Dantes, "and I hope he fully understood it."
"He spoke of it as a thing already decided Catalog."

"Indeed!" said Danglars, "he is in too much hurry, it

"Yes, but to be captain Cart one must do a little flattery to

one's patrons."
"I hope to be captain without that," said Dantes.

"Yes, my Target dear father, and with your permission, now I have

will ask your consent to go and pay a visit to the

"Go, my dear boy," said old Dantes: "and heaven bless you in

"When one is going to be married, there is nothing like

"I will go directly," was Edmond's reply; and, Christmas embracing his
