He pressed his burning lips to the cheeks, but they were icy cold and pale.
He felt the stiffened limbs.
He pressed his hand upon the heart, but it no longer beat.
The child was dead.
A folded paper fell from Edward's breast.
Villefort, thunderstruck, fell upon his knees.
The child dropped from his arms and rolled on the floor by the side of its mother.
He picked up the paper, and, recognizing his wife's writing, ran his eyes rapidly over its contents.
It ran as follows.
"'You know that I was a good mother, since it was for my son's sake I became criminal.
A good mother cannot depart without her son.'
Villefort could not believe his eyes.
He could not believe his reason.
He dragged himself towards the child's body and examined it as a lioness contemplates its dead cub.
Then a piercing cry escaped from his breast, and he cried, Still the hand of God!
The presence of the two victims alarmed him.
He could not bear solitude shared only by two corpses.
Until then he had been sustained by rage, by his strength of mind, by despair, by the supreme agony which led the Titans to scale the heavens, and Ajax to defy the gods.
He now arose, his head bowed beneath the weight of grief, and, shaking his damp, disheveled hair, he who had never felt compassion for anyone determined to seek his father,
that he might have someone to whom he could relate his misfortunes, someone by whose side he might weep.
