"'Are there any stories connected with this prison besides the one relating to the poisoning of Mirabeau?'
asked the Count.
"'Are there any traditions respecting these dismal abodes, in which it is difficult to believe men can ever have imprisoned their fellow-creatures?'
"'Yes, sir, indeed.
The jailer Antoine told me one connected with this very dungeon.'
Monte Cristo shuddered.
Antoine had been his jailer.
He had almost forgotten his name and face, but at the mention of the name he recalled his person as he used to see it, the face encircled by a beard, wearing the brown jacket, the bunch of keys, the jingling of which he still seemed to hear.
The count turned around and fancied he saw him in the corridor, rendered still darker by the torch carried by the concierge.
"'Would you like to hear the story, sir?'
"'Yes, relate it,' said Monte Cristo, pressing his hand to his heart to still its violent beatings.
He felt afraid of hearing his own history.
"'This dungeon,' said the concierge, "'was, it appears, some time ago occupied by a very dangerous prisoner, the more so since he was full of industry.'
Another person was confined in the chateau at the same time, but he was not wicked.
He was only a poor, mad priest.
"'Ah, indeed.
Mad,' repeated Monte Cristo.
"'And what was his name?
And what was his mania?'
"'He offered millions to anyone who would set him at liberty.'
