Gaetano faltered an excuse, and advanced to the opposite
side, while two sailors kindled torches at the fire to light
them on their way. They advanced about thirty paces, and
then stopped at a small esplanade surrounded with rocks, in
which seats had been cut, not unlike sentry-boxes. Around in
the crevices of the rocks grew a few dwarf oaks and thick
bushes of myrtles. Franz lowered a torch, and saw by the
mass of cinders that had accumulated that he was not the
first to discover this retreat, which was, doubtless, one of
the halting-places of the wandering visitors of Monte
Cristo. As for his suspicions, once on terra firma, once
that he had seen the indifferent, if not friendly,
appearance of his hosts, his anxiety had quite disappeared,
or rather, at sight of the goat, had turned to appetite. He
mentioned this to Gaetano, who replied that nothing could be
more easy than to prepare a supper when they had in their
boat, bread, wine, half a dozen partridges, and a good fire
to roast them by. Besides, added he, if the smell of
their roast meat tempts you, I will go and offer them two of
our birds for a slice.
You are a born diplomat, returned Franz; go and try.
Meanwhile the sailors had collected dried sticks and
branches with which they made a fire. Franz waited
impatiently, inhaling the aroma of the roasted meat, when
the captain returned with a mysterious air.
Well, said Franz, anything new? -- do they refuse?
On the contrary, returned Gaetano, the chief, who was
told you were a young Frenchman, invites you to sup with
him.
Well, observed Franz, this chief is very polite, and I
see no objection -- the more so as I bring my share of the
supper.
Oh, it is not that; he has plenty, and to spare, for
supper; but he makes one condition, and rather a peculiar
one, before he will receive you at his house.
His house? Has he built one here, then?
No; but he has a very comfortable one all the same, so they
say.
You know this chief, then?
I have heard talk of him.
Favorably or otherwise?
Both.
The deuce! -- and what is this condition?
That you are blindfolded, and do not take off the bandage
until he himself bids you. Franz looked at Gaetano, to see,
if possible, what he thought of this proposal. Ah, replied
he, guessing Franz's thought, I know this is a serious
matter.
What should you do in my place?
I, who have nothing to lose, -- I should go.
You would accept?
