"Let us take ourselves out of the way, and leave things for the present to take their course." After their departure, Fernand, who had now again become the friend and protector of Mercedes, led the girl to her home, while the friends of Dantes conducted the now half-fainting man back to his abode.

"And did you mention these suspicions to any person beside myself ?" "Certainly not!" returned Danglars.
