" monsieur , " replied the count , with a chilling air , " i am very happy to have been the means of preserving a son to his mother , for they say that the sentiment of maternity is the most holy of all ; and the good fortune which occurred to me , monsieur , might have enabled you to dispense with a duty which , in its discharge , confers an undoubtedly great honor ; for i am aware that m . de villefort is not usually lavish of the favor which he now bestows on me , - a favor which , however estimable , is unequal to the satisfaction which i have in my own consciousness . “阁下， ”伯爵冷冰冰地回答说， “我非常高兴能有机会为一位母亲保全了她的儿子。因为常言道，母子之情是世界上最真挚神圣的感情，而我的运气好，阁下，使您来此履行一种义务，而您在履行这种义务的时候，无疑的给了我莫大的荣幸。因为我知道，维尔福先生对我的这种赏脸平时不是轻易肯给的，但是，这种荣幸不论多么可贵，却仍然不足以与我内心里所感到的满足相比。 ”
