At this moment, a carriage galloped towards them from the main road.
Two morels said that you must be carrying pistols. M. de Monte Cristo has given up his weapons.
We expected that the count would be so polite. Beauchamp said that I brought several pistols, which I bought nine days ago and asked them to do the same thing. They are still new and haven’t been tested yet. Would you like to have a try?
Oh, M. Beauchamp, Morrel bowed and said, since you have assured me that M. de Morcerf has never touched these weapons, I believe you mean what you say.
The two Chateau-Renaud said that it was not Morcerf in that carriage, and I’m sure it was Franz Debray. They pointed to the two young people coming this way. What brings you here? The two Chateau-Renaud said that they shook hands one by one.
Indebray said Albert sent us this morning.
Bo Shang Xia Duo Le Nuo looked at each other in surprise.
I think I know what he mean, said Morrel.
what’s the meaning
I received a letter from Mr. Morcerf yesterday afternoon. I went to the opera house.
I also went to Debray to say
I’ve been to Frans, too, and said
We’ve also been to Bosanskia, and Doleno also said
But I hope that after witnessing the provocation, I hope that you will come to watch this.
Exactly. Those young people said it must be like this.
But what’s the matter? Why hasn’t he come yet? Chateau-Renaud said
Albert is already ten minutes late.
Here he comes. Beauchamp said that the galloping horse was followed by a servant.
How careless Charleno said that he rode a horse to duel after I told him to do as he did.
Besides, Beauchamp said he was wearing a big collar and a white vest with an open chest. Why didn’t he just make a mark on his chest? Wouldn’t that be easier?
By this time Albert had driven ten paces away from the five young men.
He jumped on his horse and threw the reins to his servants. He was pale and his eyes were red and swollen. Obviously, he had not slept all night. His face was covered with a melancholy and solemn shadow, which is rare in his face.
He said, thank you for accepting my request, and I am very grateful to you for giving us this friendship. When Morrel approached, Morrel retreated, but he still returned it to you not far away. Mr. Morrel, I also thank you for coming. There are not too many friends.
Maximilian said that you may not understand that I am a witness of M. Monte Cristo.
I’m not sure, but I’ve guessed it, so much the better. The more respectable people here, the more satisfied I am.
M. Morel, Chateau-Renaud said, will you inform M. Count of Monte Cristo that M. de Morcerf has arrived and we are waiting for his orders?
Morrel went to tell the count, and Beauchamp took the pistol case from the carriage.
Wait a minute, Albert. I have two words for the Count of Monte Cristo.
In private? asked morrel
Don’t say it in front of everyone
Albert witnesses looked at each other in surprise. Franz Debray whispered a few words. Morrel was very surprised by this unexpected episode and went to the Count Emmanuel to take a walk in a quiet path.
What does he want me to do? said Monte Cristo.
Oh, Monte Cristo said, I’m sure he won’t do anything new to provoke the emperor.
I don’t think he meant it, said Morrel.
The count, accompanied by Maximilian Emmanuel, passed by, and his calm and full face, Albert’s sad face, formed a fresh contrast. Albert also came over, followed by the four young men.
Count Albert stopped when they were three paces apart.
Come on, gentlemen, Albert said, I hope you don’t miss everything I have said to the Count of Monte Cristo, because it may sound strange to you, but people want it, and you must tell it to them.
Count Shuo Ge said
Ah, Chateau-Renaud interjected that a carriage was coming.
