And almost unconsciously the young priest spoke aloud: "What will he do with those millions?
Where is he taking them ?" Narcisse and even Nani could not help being amused by this strangely expressed curiosity.

It was the young _attache_ who replied.

"Why, his Holiness is taking them to his room; or, at least, is having them carried there before him.

Didn't you see two persons of his suite picking up everything and filling their pockets?
And now his Holiness has shut himself up quite alone; and if you could see him you would find him counting and recounting his treasure with cheerful care, ranging the rolls of gold in good order, slipping the bank notes into envelopes in equal quantities, and then putting everything away in hiding-places which are only known to himself." While his companion was speaking Pierre again raised his eyes to the windows of the Pope's apartments, as if to follow the scene.

Moreover, Narcisse gave further explanations, asserting that the money was put away in a certain article of furniture, standing against the right-hand wall in the Holy Father's bedroom.
