And with a firm step Morrel went up to his study, while
Maximilian followed him, trembling as he went. Morrel opened
the door, and closed it behind his son; then, crossing the
anteroom, went to his desk on which he placed the pistols,
and pointed with his finger to an open ledger. In this
ledger was made out an exact balance-sheet of his affair's.
Morrel had to pay, within half an hour, 287,500 francs. All
he possessed was 15,257 francs. Read! said Morrel.
The young man was overwhelmed as he read. Morrel said not a
word. What could he say? What need he add to such a
desperate proof in figures? And have you done all that is
possible, father, to meet this disastrous result? asked the
young man, after a moment's pause. I have, replied Morrel.
You have no money coming in on which you can rely?
None.
You have exhausted every resource?
All.
And in half an hour, said Maximilian in a gloomy voice,
our name is dishonored!
Blood washes out dishonor, said Morrel.
You are right, father; I understand you. Then extending
his hand towards one of the pistols, he said, There is one
for you and one for me -- thanks! Morrel caught his hand.
Your mother -- your sister! Who will support them? A
shudder ran through the young man's frame. Father, he
said, do you reflect that you are bidding me to live?
Yes, I do so bid you, answered Morrel, it is your duty.
You have a calm, strong mind, Maximilian. Maximilian, you
are no ordinary man. I make no requests or commands; I only
ask you to examine my position as if it were your own, and
then judge for yourself.
The young man reflected for a moment, then an expression of
sublime resignation appeared in his eyes, and with a slow
and sad gesture he took off his two epaulets, the insignia
of his rank. Be it so, then, my father, he said, extending
his hand to Morrel, die in peace, my father; I will live.
Morrel was about to cast himself on his knees before his
son, but Maximilian caught him in his arms, and those two
noble hearts were pressed against each other for a moment.
You know it is not my fault, said Morrel. Maximilian
smiled. I know, father, you are the most honorable man I
have ever known.
Good, my son. And now there is no more to be said; go and
rejoin your mother and sister.
