The innkeeper immediately remembered that there was a man in Toulon who would risk his own and his horses ' lives for money , and he sent a messenger for him . Two long hours passed before the messenger returned . He brought a favorable answer . Father Jacob , that was the man 's name , would come at four o'clock with two good horses . `` Who is this Father Jacob ? '' asked Madame Danglars of the innkeeper . `` Oh , he is a former city boarder , '' replied the host , laughing , as he gave a suggestive glance in the direction of the Bagnio .
