Now guess what the young one did?'
"'Tell me.'
He carried off the corpse, which he placed in his own bed with its face to the wall.
Then he entered the empty dungeon, closed the entrance, and slipped into the sack which had contained the dead body.
Did you ever hear of such an idea?
Monte Cristo closed his eyes and seemed again to experience all the sensations he had felt when the coarse canvas, yet moist with the cold dews of death, had touched his face.
The jailer continued.
Now this was his project.
He fancied that they buried the dead at the Chateau d'Yves, and imagining they would not expend much labor on the grave of a prisoner, he calculated on raising the earth with his shoulders.
But unfortunately their arrangements at the Chateau frustrated his projects.
They never buried the dead.
They merely attached a heavy cannonball to the feet, and then threw them into the sea.
This is what was done.
The young man was thrown from the top of the rock, the corpse was found on the bed next day, and the whole truth was guessed.
For the men who performed the op was then mentioned what they had not dared to speak of before, that at the moment the corpse was thrown into the deep, they heard a shriek which was almost immediately stifled by the water in which it disappeared.
The Count breathed with difficulty, the cold drops ran down his forehead, and his heart was full of anguish.
"'No,' he muttered.
"'The doubt, I felt, was but the commencement of forgetfulness.
But here the wound reopens, and the heart again thirsts for vengeance, and the prisoner,' he now continued aloud, "'was he ever heard of afterwards?'
Oh, no, of course not.
