Pray to the Almighty, then, to spare his life, and I will take upon myself to promote his happiness.'
"'Thank you, Edmund.
But have you no request to make for yourself, Mercedes?'
"'For myself I want nothing.
"'I live, as it were, between two graves.
"'One is that of Edmond Dantes, lost to me long, long since.
"'He had my love.
"'That word ill becomes my faded lip now, "'but it is a memory dear to my heart, "'and one that I would not lose for all that the world contains.'
The other grave is that of the man who met his death from the hand of Edmond Dantes.
I approve of the deed, but I must pray for the dead."
"'Your son shall be happy, Mercedes,' repeated the Count.
"'Then I shall enjoy as much happiness as this world can possibly confer.
But what are your intentions?'
To say that I shall live here, like the Mercedes of other times, gaining my bread by labor, would not be true, nor would you believe me.
I have no longer the strength to do anything but to spend my days in prayer.
However, I shall have no occasion to work, for the little sum of money buried by you, and which I found in the place you mentioned, will be sufficient to maintain me."
"'Rumour will probably be busy respecting me, "'my occupations, my manner of living.
"'That will signify but little.'
"'Mercedes,' said the Count, "'I do not say to blame you, "'but you made an unnecessary sacrifice "'in relinquishing the whole of the fortune "'amassed by Monsieur de Morsurf.
"'Half of it, at least by right, belonged to you, "'in virtue of your vigilance and economy.'
