"I believe that, besides the packet, Captain Leclere confided a letter to his care."

"Tôi tin rằng, ngoài gói hàng ra, thuyền trưởng Leclere còn giao cho anh ta một bức thư."

"Of what packet are you speaking, Danglars?"

"Anh đang nói đến gói hàng nào vậy, Danglars?"

"Why, that which Dantès left at Porto-Ferrajo."

"Thì gói hàng mà Dantès để lại ở Porto-Ferrajo chứ."

"How do you know he had a packet to leave at Porto-Ferrajo?"

"Làm sao anh biết anh ta có một gói hàng để lại ở Porto-Ferrajo?"

Danglars turned very red.

Danglars đỏ mặt tía tai.

"I was passing close to the door of the captain's cabin, which was half open, and I saw him give the packet and letter to Dantès."

"Tôi đang đi ngang qua cửa buồng thuyền trưởng, cửa đang mở hé, và tôi thấy ông ta đưa gói hàng và bức thư cho Dantès."

"He did not speak to me of it," replied the shipowner; "but if there be any letter he will give it to me."

"Anh ta không nói gì với tôi về chuyện đó," chủ tàu đáp; "nhưng nếu có thư thì anh ta sẽ đưa cho tôi."

Danglars reflected for a moment.

Danglars suy nghĩ một lúc.

"Then, M. Morrel, I beg of you," said he, "not to say a word to Dantès on the subject.

"Vậy thì, thưa ông Morrel, tôi xin ông," anh ta nói, "đừng nói một lời nào với Dantès về chuyện này.

I may have been mistaken."

Có thể tôi đã nhầm."

At this moment the young man returned; Danglars withdrew.

Đúng lúc đó người thanh niên quay trở lại; Danglars lui ra.

"Well, my dear Dantès, are you now free?" inquired the owner.

"Này, Dantès thân mến, anh đã xong việc chưa?" chủ tàu hỏi.

"Yes, sir."

"Thưa ông, xong rồi ạ."

"You have not been long detained."

"Anh không bị giữ lại lâu nhỉ."

"No. I gave the custom-house officers a copy of our bill of lading; and as to the other papers, they sent a man off with the pilot, to whom I gave them."

"Không ạ. Tôi đưa cho các quan chức hải quan một bản sao vận đơn của chúng ta; còn các giấy tờ khác, họ cử một người đi cùng hoa tiêu, và tôi đã giao cho người đó."

"Then you have nothing more to do here?"

"Vậy thì anh không còn việc gì phải làm ở đây nữa chứ?"

"No—everything is all right now."

"Không ạ — mọi thứ đều ổn cả rồi."

"Then you can come and dine with me?"

"Vậy thì anh có thể đến dùng bữa với tôi chứ?"

"I really must ask you to excuse me, M. Morrel. My first visit is due to my father, though I am not the less grateful for the honor you have done me.

"Tôi thực sự phải xin ông thứ lỗi, thưa ông Morrel. Chuyến thăm đầu tiên của tôi phải dành cho cha tôi, dù vậy tôi không kém phần biết ơn vì vinh dự mà ông đã dành cho tôi.
