THE COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO.
217
"Very well, only do not give me false information, as you did the other day."
"What do you mean?—of whom do you speak? Was it the Englishman who carried off three thousand crowns from here the other day?"
"No; he really had three thousand crowns, and we found them. I mean the Russian prince, who you said had thirty thousand livres, and we only found twenty-two thousand."
"You must have searched badly."
"Luigi Vampa himself searched."
