With an expression of indescribable anguish, he threw himself upon the body of the child, reopened its eyes, felt its pulse, and then rushed with him into Valentine's room, of which he double-locked the door.
"'My child!'
cried Villefort.
"'He carries away the body of my child!'
Oh, curses!
Woe!
Death to you!'
And he tried to follow Monte Cristo, but as though in a dream he was transfixed to the spot.
His eyes glared as though they were starting through the sockets.
He gripped the flesh on his chest until his nails were stained with blood.
The veins of his temple swelled and boiled as though they would burst their narrow boundary and deluge his brain with living fire.
This lasted several minutes, until the frightful overturn of reason was accomplished.
Then, uttering a loud cry, followed by a burst of laughter, he rushed down the stairs.
A quarter of an hour afterwards, the door of Valentine's room opened, and Monte Cristo reappeared, pale, with a dull eye and heavy heart.
All the noble features of that face, usually so calm and serene, were overcast by grief.
In his arms he held the child, whom no skill had been able to recall to life.
Bending on one knee, he placed it reverently by the side of its mother, with its head upon her breast.
Then, rising, he went out, and meeting his servant on the stairs, he asked, "'Where is Monsieur de Villefort?'
The servant, instead of answering, pointed to the garden."
Monte Cristo ran down the steps, and advancing towards the spot designated, beheld Villefort, encircled by his servants, with a spade in his hand, and digging the earth with fury.
