The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, Chapter 6. The Deputy Procureur du Roi (1)

Chapter 6. The Deputy Procureur du Roi (1)

In one of the aristocratic mansions built by Puget in the Rue du Grand Cours opposite the Medusa fountain, a second marriage feast was being celebrated, almost at the same hour with the nuptial repast given by Dantes. In this case, however, although the occasion of the entertainment was similar, the company was strikingly dissimilar. Instead of a rude mixture of sailors, soldiers, and those belonging to the humblest grade of life, the present assembly was composed of the very flower of Marseilles society,--magistrates who had resigned their office during the usurper's reign; officers who had deserted from the imperial army and joined forces with Conde; and younger members of families, brought up to hate and execrate the man whom five years of exile would convert into a martyr, and fifteen of restoration elevate to the rank of a god. The guests were still at table, and the heated and energetic conversation that prevailed betrayed the violent and vindictive passions that then agitated each dweller of the South, where unhappily, for five centuries religious strife had long given increased bitterness to the violence of party feeling.

The emperor, now king of the petty Island of Elba, after having held sovereign sway over one-half of the world, counting as his subjects a small population of five or six thousand souls,--after having been accustomed to hear the "Vive Napoleons" of a hundred and twenty millions of human beings, uttered in ten different languages,--was looked upon here as a ruined man, separated forever from any fresh connection with France or claim to her throne. The magistrates freely discussed their political views; the military part of the company talked unreservedly of Moscow and Leipsic, while the women commented on the divorce of Josephine. It was not over the downfall of the man, but over the defeat of the Napoleonic idea, that they rejoiced, and in this they foresaw for themselves the bright and cheering prospect of a revivified political existence.

An old man, decorated with the cross of Saint Louis, now rose and proposed the health of King Louis XVIII. It was the Marquis de Saint-Meran. This toast, recalling at once the patient exile of Hartwell and the peace-loving King of France, excited universal enthusiasm; glasses were elevated in the air a l'Anglais, and the ladies, snatching their bouquets from their fair bosoms, strewed the table with their floral treasures. In a word, an almost poetical fervor prevailed.

"Ah," said the Marquise de Saint-Meran, a woman with a stern, forbidding eye, though still noble and distinguished in appearance, despite her fifty years--"ah, these revolutionists, who have driven us from those very possessions they afterwards purchased for a mere trifle during the Reign of Terror, would be compelled to own, were they here, that all true devotion was on our side, since we were content to follow the fortunes of a falling monarch, while they, on the contrary, made their fortune by worshipping the rising sun; yes, yes, they could not help admitting that the king, for whom we sacrificed rank, wealth, and station was truly our 'Louis the well-beloved,' while their wretched usurper his been, and ever will be, to them their evil genius, their 'Napoleon the accursed.' Am I not right, Villefort?" "I beg your pardon, madame. I really must pray you to excuse me, but--in truth--I was not attending to the conversation." "Marquise, marquise!" interposed the old nobleman who had proposed the toast, "let the young people alone; let me tell you, on one's wedding day there are more agreeable subjects of conversation than dry politics." "Never mind, dearest mother," said a young and lovely girl, with a profusion of light brown hair, and eyes that seemed to float in liquid crystal, " 'tis all my fault for seizing upon M. de Villefort, so as to prevent his listening to what you said. But there--now take him--he is your own for as long as you like. M. Villefort, I beg to remind you my mother speaks to you." "If the marquise will deign to repeat the words I but imperfectly caught, I shall be delighted to answer," said M. de Villefort. "Never mind, Renee," replied the marquise, with a look of tenderness that seemed out of keeping with her harsh dry features; but, however all other feelings may be withered in a woman's nature, there is always one bright smiling spot in the desert of her heart, and that is the shrine of maternal love. "I forgive you. What I was saying, Villefort, was, that the Bonapartists had not our sincerity, enthusiasm, or devotion."

Misafirler hâlâ masadaydı ve hâkim olan hararetli ve enerjik sohbet, o zamanlar Güney halkını saran şiddetli ve intikamcı tutkuları ele veriyordu; ne yazık ki, beş yüzyıldır dini çatışmalar, parti duygusunun şiddetine olan acıyı artırmıştı.

İmparator, şimdi Elba Adası'nın küçük kralı, dünyanın yarısı üzerinde egemenlik sürmeye alışmış, altı veya yedi bin ruhdan oluşan küçük bir nüfusu tebaası sayarak, -dünyanın her yanında, on farklı dilde, yüz yirmi milyon insandan gelen "Yaşasın Napolyonlar" seslerine aşina olmuş olan- burada harabe bir adam olarak görülüyordu; Fransa ile her türlü yeni bağlantıdan ve onun tahtına olan iddialarından sonsuza dek ayrılmıştı.

Bu kadeh, Hartwell'ın sabırlı sürgününü ve barışsever Fransa Kralı'nı anımsatarak, evrensel bir coşku yarattı; kadehler havada İngiliz usulü kaldırıldı ve hanımlar, güzel göğüslerinden çiçek buketlerini kaparak, masayı çiçek hazineleriyle donattı.

"Ah," dedi Marquise de Saint-Meran, elli yaşına rağmen hala soylu ve seçkin görünümüne sahip, ama sert, yasaklayıcı bir bakışa sahip olan bir kadın; "ah, bu devrimciler, bizi o hain yere sürgün edenler, sonrasında Terör Rejimi sırasında neredeyse bir avuç para için satın aldılar, burada olsalar itiraf etmek zorunda kalırlardı ki, gerçek sadakat her zaman bizim tarafımızdaydı, zira biz bir düşen monarşinin talihini takip etmeyi kabul ettik, buna karşın onlar, yükselen güne taparak kendi şanslarını yarattılar; evet, evet, kendi kollarımızda feda ettiğimiz rütbe, zenginlik ve statü için kralımız 'Louis, sevgi dolu' idi, onlara ise lanetli 'Napolyon' olarak kalacak olan o zavallı işgalciydi."

"Önemli değil, sevgili annem," dedi, bolca açık kahverengi saçı olan ve sanki sıvı kristal içinde yüzüyormuş gibi görünen gözlere sahip genç ve güzel bir kız, "M. de Villefort'un, söylediklerinizi dinlemesini engellemek için benim hatamdır."

"Boşver, Renee," dedi markiz, sert ve kuru hatlarıyla pek örtüşmeyen bir şefkat ifadesiyle; ancak, bir kadının doğasında diğer tüm hisler solsa da, kalbinin çölünde her zaman parlayan gülümseyen bir nokta vardır ve bu da annelik aşkının kutsal alanıdır.
