My daughter, Danglars went on to say that when a father wants his daughter to choose a husband, he always wants her to get married because he is keen on what you just said and wants to have grandchildren.
I can tell you frankly that I am not targeting a daughter like you because this family music is not very attractive to me. I might as well admit that I am indifferent because of your philosophical demeanor and will not regard it as a crime.
Great. Eugenie said, let’s be honest. I’m honest
Well, Danglars said that when the situation requires me to do this, I can take your approach. Although this is not my usual style, it is not your reason that I want to persuade you to get married. Because I didn’t expect you to be in favor of confession at that time, I hope you can be satisfied now. I want to urge you to get married quickly. It’s my business. Eugenie looks uneasy. I can guarantee that, but you must not be angry because this is what you want me to talk about. As an artist like you, I don’t want to explain in detail that you are afraid of coming into my room and getting anti-poetry. I’m impressed, but it’s in that banker’s room where you willingly walked in yesterday and asked me for thousands of francs a month. You must know that my dear young lady can do many things, even for a girl who doesn’t want to get married. For example, I’m not afraid of your suspicion there. I can also tell you that a person can go to a bank’s house. It is his physical life and moral life that trust him. Breathing is the same as his body. Mr. Monte Cristo once said this to me at this point. I will never forget being there alone, but when the letter disappears, the body will be lifeless. This is what the banker who is fortunate to be a female artist father will soon have to encounter.
But Eugenie didn’t look depressed at the blow, but straightened up. Her body went bankrupt, she said
You’re right, my daughter. These two words are very appropriate. Danglars said that he put his hand over his chest, but his harsh face still smiled with a witty but heartless man. That’s the sentence.
Ah, Eugenie said
It is bankrupt. Now the tragic poet says that the secret full of horror has been revealed. Now my daughter is here, which will affect you. Let me tell you that you may be able to get rid of this misfortune.
Oh, Eugenie shouted, "If you declare bankruptcy, I will grieve my fate. If you are a poor fortuneteller, I will go bankrupt. That means a lot to me. Don’t I give back my genius? span’t I be like Basta spanlasssjj?" Will you never give me everything if I get it on my own? When you give me that poor 12 thousand francs a year, you always look unhappy and blame me for the wave. At that time, I could earn 100 thousand or 150 thousand livres a year. I don’t have to thank others for getting the money, and the money will come with cheers and flowers. I don’t have the talent. You smile. I know you doubt my talent. I don’t love being alone. I think independence is more valuable than treasure. In my opinion, it is more important than life. No, I’m not worried. I can always find a way to live me. My pen and piano will always belong to me, and those things are worthless. Even if I lose them, I can see you again. Maybe I will think that Madame Danglars is worried that you are deceiving yourself again. If I’m not mistaken, I know that my mother has already prepared for the disaster that threatened you, and it will also affect her. I hope that she will take care of her own property, but she will not be distracted by taking care of me. Thanks to the emperor, sheI know too much, and I haven’t been loved since the day I can remember, which is unfortunate, so I don’t love anyone, which is not a bad thing. Now you know that I am a philosopher
Well, Danglars said he was blue with anger, but that anger was not caused by the rebellion of his father and children. So, miss, are you determined to speed up my bankruptcy?
What do you mean by your bankruptcy? I don’t know what you mean.
That’s good. I still have a glimmer of hope. Listen.
I listened attentively to Eugenie and kept a close eye on his father, who could hardly bear her gaze.
Mr. Cavalcanti, you are getting married soon. Danglars went on to say that he would entrust me with his property, which is about 3 million.
This is a considerable amount, Eugenie said with great contempt, playing with her gloves
You and I will ask your 3 million Danglars to say don’t be afraid of this money. Now I can get at least one interest. I got a railway share from another banker and my colleague. At present, the railway is the only business that can make a fortune immediately. At present, Parisians can make a fortune by investing in the railway as they did in the land of the Mississippi River where wild cats are rampant. According to my estimation, they can own a railway at present, just like they owned an acre of virgin land on both sides of the Ohio River. You see, this is a kind of mortgage investment. Progress has been made. Because you invest less money, you can exchange it for ten pounds, fifteen pounds, twenty pounds or one hundred pounds of iron. Well, you must buy four million shares in a week. I promise to give you one point or two interest on this four million.
But it seems that you remember it clearly. When I came to see you the day before yesterday, Eugenie replied, I saw that you paid for it. That’s a good word, right? 5.5 million. You even showed me those two tickets and were surprised that such an expensive ticket didn’t shine on my eyes like a flash.
Yes, but that 5.5 million is not me, but a kind of evidence. I am a civilian banker. I got the hospital letter. That 5.5 million belongs to the hospital. I don’t hesitate to move the money, but it is well known that I have suffered losses in succession recently. I have already told you that my reputation has been shaken. I can take it as a fake at any time. I will bring myself a shameful bankruptcy. Believe me, I don’t hate bankruptcy, but it must be that people get rich and close down instead of bankruptcy. Now, if you can get Mr. Cavalcanti married and I meet the 3 million or want someone else, my reputation will be restored, and although my property has been swallowed up in chunks in the past month or two, my future will be greatly hindered, and then it can be rebuilt. Do you know what I mean?
I heard perfectly well. You mortgaged me for 3 million, didn’t you?
The bigger the number, the more you face it, which is true, but you think of your own worth
Thank you for another word. Can you promise me that Mr. Cavalcanti will entrust you with his property without touching the money? This is not personal, but a solution to the problem. I am willing to help you revive your property, but I don’t want to be an accessory in the plan that causes others to go bankrupt.
But I told you, Danglars shouted the three million.
Ge, can’t you recognize that three hundred omnipotent to get out of your predicament?
I hope this holiday and this marriage can be held smoothly, and maybe my letter will be restored.
Can you promise to pay the 500 thousand francs to Mr. Cavalcanti after signing the engagement?
He can get the money when he comes back from the mayor’s office.
Great
What do you want?
I want to know if you can let me finish my action after I sign it.
Absolutely by
That’s great, then. I’m willing to marry Mr. Cavalcanti
But what’s your plan
Ah, that’s my secret holiday. I’ll tell you my secret after I know yours. What advantage can I have for you?
Danglars bit his lip, so he said, are you willing to visit your relatives and friends? That’s absolutely impossible.
