Then a low door was opened before him, and bending his head to avoid striking his forehead, he entered a small room cut out of the rock.
The cell was clean, though empty, and dry, though situated at an immeasurable distance under the earth.
A bed of dried grass covered with goatskins was placed in one corner.
Danglish brightened up on beholding it, fancying that it gave some promise of safety.
"'Oh, God be praised,' he said.
"'It's a real bed.'
"'Echo!'
said the guide, and pushing Danglish into the cell, he closed the door upon him.
A bolt grated, and Danglish was a prisoner.
If there had been no bolt, it would have been impossible for him to pass through the midst of the garrison who held the catacombs of St.
Sebastian, and camped round a master whom our readers must have recognized as the famous Luigi Vampa.'
"'Danglers, too, had recognized the bandit, "'whose existence he would not believe "'when Albert de Marsurf mentioned him in Paris.
"'And not only did he recognize him, "'but the cell in which Albert had been confined, "'and which was probably kept for the accommodation of strangers.
"'These recollections were dwelt upon with some pleasure by Danglers, "'and restored him to some degree of tranquillity.
"'Since the bandits had not dispatched him at once, "'he felt that they would not kill him at all.'
They had arrested him for the purpose of robbery, and as he had only a few louis about him, he doubted not he would be ransomed.
He remembered that Morcerf had been taxed at 4,000 crowns, and as he considered himself of much greater importance than Morcerf, he fixed his own price at 8,000 crowns.
8,000 crowns amounted to 48,000 livres.
He would then have about 5,050,000 francs left.
With this sum he could manage to keep out of difficulty.
