THE COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO.
131
"You cannot, at least, deny that you are very harsh judges of each _ other."
"If we are so, it is because we generally judge under the influence of excitement. But return to your question."
"Does Mademoiselle Danglars object to this marriage with M. de Morcerf on account of loving another?":
"I told you I was not on terms of strict intimacy with Eugénie."
"Yes, but girls tell each other secrets without being particularly intimate: own, now, that you did question her on the subject. Ah! I see you are smiling."
