Ah Zhen cavalcanti said
I think so. Am I right, M. de Villefort? Asked Monte Cristo.
Yes, count villefort replied, but his voice is hardly human at this time
Monte Cristo saw that the two men couldn’t stand the scene he had carefully prepared and stopped chasing it, so he said, come on, let’s have some coffee. We seem to have forgotten it, so he led the guests back to the grass table
Madame danglars, the count, said, it’s really hard to say, but your scary stories made me feel terrible. I must ask you to allow me to sit down, so she poured into a chair
Monte Cristo bowed and went to Madame de Villefort. I think Madame Danglars probably needs another bottle of yours, he said.
Before Madame de Villefort came to her friend, the prosecutor took the opportunity to whisper to Madame Danglars, I must talk to you once.
When?

Come to my office. It’s the safest place.
I must go when Madame de Villefort came. Thank you, dear.
Madame danglars said and tried to pretend to laugh. It’s all over and she feels much better now.
Chapter 64 Beggar
Madame de Villefort is going back to Paris, which is what Madame Danglars dare not do. Although she feels uneasy here, Mr. Villefort left first when he heard his wife’s request. Madame Danglars went back in his carriage, and his wife could take care of him all the way, while Mr. Danglars was talking with great interest. Mr. Cavalcanti did not notice what had happened.
Monte Cristo noticed Villefort’s approach to Madame de Villefort to sniff the bottle and guessed what he said to her, even though the voice was so low that it was hard for everyone to hear it. He did not object to their arrangement, so he let Morrel Chateau Nordbray ride back and let the two ladies ride in Monsieur de Villefort’s carriage. Major Danglars has invited him to go back with him.
Andre Cavalcanti found that his two-wheeled cart was waiting at the door. His groom looked very much like an English comic character in all aspects. At this time, he stood on tiptoe and pulled a big iron-gray horse with a high head. Andre had rarely spoken at the table. He was a clever boy and was afraid that he would tell some ridiculous jokes in front of such a big man. He looked at the prosecutor with his eyes wide open and somewhat frightened. Later, Danglars pestered him, and the banker saw that the major was so domineering, while his son was. This modesty, together with the count’s attitude towards them, confirms that he met a rich man who brought his son to Paris to gain experience. He looked at the major with displeasure, wearing the big diamond ring on his little finger. He was a cautious man who immediately turned his money into something valuable for fear of anything happening to him.
After dinner, Danglars talked about business excuses and asked about their father’s living conditions. The two fathers knew in advance that they would get 40 thousand francs from Danglars every year, and they were grateful to the banker for fear of expressing their inadequacy. They would also be very willing to ask them to shake hands with his servants. Even if Danglars paid more respect to Cavalcanti or worshipped him, he would not be surprised because he kept Horace’s motto that the biggest blue eel was from which lake. When he was in Lucca, he often ate trout from Switzerland and lobsters from England, just as the count ate blue eel from Lake Fusale and shark from Volga River to Fluttershy. He accepted these words from Cavalcanti with great enthusiasm.
Danglars, our cabinet, said that it would be a great pleasure to wait for you. Speaking of this, Cavalcanti went back to Tai Hotel in his carriage. If he didn’t think it was inconvenient for him to go back together, Cavalcanti said that his son had reached a quite independent age. When his carriage came, he didn’t come together and went back separately. So the major became more and more interested in the economic affairs of the major. He allowed his son to spend 50,000 francs a year. From this point of view, he could spend 500,000 or 600,000 livres on property.
In order to show his prestige, Andre scolded his groom. Because the groom didn’t drive the two-wheeled carriage to the front of the steps but waited at the gate, he had to walk 30 steps. The groom swallowed his insults. He grabbed the impatient horse with his left hand, chewed the ring with his right hand, handed the reins to Andre and took them. Then his polished boots lightly stepped on the steps. At this moment, he suddenly patted him on the shoulder with one hand. The young man turned around or Danglars or Monte Cristo forgot something. I just remembered that I came here to tell him, but the man in front of me was neither Danglars nor Monte Cristo, but a stranger. His face was tanned in the sun, his face was covered with cheeks, his eyes were as bright as rubies, and his mouth showed a row of teeth as white as a jackal with a smile. His gray head was wrapped in a red handkerchief, and his limbs were thick. His bones would click like a skeleton when he walked, and Andre just saw that hand on his shoulder was like a giant. Generally speaking, did the young man recognize the face by the light of the car, or was he just startled by that terrible appearance? We can confirm that we can tell the truth and see him shudder and suddenly take a step back. Why do you want to see me? He asked.
I’m sorry, my friend, for interrupting you, said the man with the red handkerchief, but I want to talk to you.
You begged for money at night, the groom said and made a blocking gesture, and his owner got rid of this annoying stranger.
I don’t want money, dear. The stranger told the servant that he had a strong sarcastic face in his eyes but a terrible smile, and he was so scared that he shrank back. I want to say a few words to your master. He asked me to do something half a month ago.
Hey, Andre said he was calm. No, his servant saw him flustered. What do you want? Tell me, my friend.
The man whispered, I hope you can save me some effort and make me walk back to Paris. I’m so tired and I haven’t had a rich dinner like you. I can hardly order it.
The young man couldn’t help shivering when he heard this strange request from the other side and told me what he said you were going to do.
Oh, I want you. I’ll take me back with you in your beautiful carriage. Andre turned pale but didn’t say anything. The man put his hand in his pocket and looked at the young man with a look of indifference. He said, I have such a strange idea in my head. Do you understand, Mr. Benedetto?
On hearing the name, the young man was obviously dazed. He hurried over to the groom and said, This man is right. I did ask him to do something. He must tell me the knot. Go home first, and then hire a carriage to go back to the city. It’s too late to get back to the hotel. The groom left in surprise.
Don’t let me talk about it in a secluded place first, said Andrea.
Oh, well, I can take you to a wonderful place, said the handkerchief-wrapped man, so he grabbed the horse’s chewing ring and led the two-wheeled carriage to a place where no one would ever witness their meeting
No, I really want to ride in your beautiful carriage. He said, Oh, no, it’s just because I’m tired. Besides, I have something small to talk about with you.
Come on, come on, said the young man
It’s a pity that this scene didn’t happen in the daytime. Otherwise, you would have seen this self-protection sitting heavily on the spring seat beside the elegant young car owner. This is a rare sight. Andre drove the car all the way to the outside of the forest. After his companion said a word, he smiled with satisfaction, as if he was glad to be able to sit in this way. Once a comfortable car passed the last room in Auteuil, Andre looked back to make sure that no one could see or hear him again. So he stopped his horse and said to the man with his arms crossed on his chest, now, what are you going to do to disturb my peace?
But you, my child, why are you lying to me?
How did I lie to you?
What, do you still have to ask? When we parted at Lake Val, you told me that you were going to Tuscany via Piedmont, but instead of going there, you came to Paris.
This is none of your business.
On the contrary, I can achieve my goal in this way.
Oh, Andre said, do you want to speculate on me
How wonderful your words are.
