Which box do you mean? asked the countess
The one with two columns in the first row seems to have been modified.
Did you really modify it? Chateau-Renaud said, was there a person in the first act?
where
In that box
No, the countess replied. Of course it was in the first act.
After saying this, she went back to their topic just now and said, so you really believe that the winner is the Count of Monte Cristo?
I’m sure of that.
Then he gave me the trophy.
That’s no doubt.
But I don’t know him, said the countess. I really want to return it
I beg you not to do that. In that case, he will give you another jade or a huge ruby carved into a cup. This is his usual style. You can accommodate him.
Then the bell announced that the second act was coming. Albert got up and prepared to go back to his seat.
Will I ever see you again? asked the countess
If you allow me to call on you again during a break, I must ask where I can help you in Paris.
Notice that the countess said that my current residence is at No.22 Lively Road. I always entertain my friends at home every Saturday night. You two can’t say that you don’t know now.
The two young men bowed and left the box. When they returned to their seats, they realized that the audience in the hall had already stood up and looked at the box of the former Russian big bag with the same eyes. There just came in a man in dark black who was about thirty-five or forty years old. He was together with a woman in oriental style. The woman was young and very beautiful. Her gorgeous dress attracted her eyes.
Alas, Albert said, that’s Monte Cristo, his Greek woman
These two strangers are really beautiful after Count Haide. Her dazzling costume soon caused a sensation in every corner of the theater. Ladies and gentlemen leaned over from their boxes to watch the glittering star-like diamond. During the second act, the theater was full of buzz. In a crowded venue, this sound meant that an amazing event had happened. No one expected people to be quiet because the woman was so young, so beautiful and so dazzling. At this moment, Teng was the most moving scene in front of her. Madame Ralph made a gesture of no misunderstanding, indicating that she hoped to see Albert in her box as soon as the second act fell, not to mention that Morcerf came. She was very willing to be polite and would not allow him to ignore such an obvious invitation. After that, he went to the baroness’s box. He bowed to the lady first, and then extended his hand to Baroness Debray to meet him with great courtesy, while Valentine was as cold as usual.
Dear Debray, it’s great that you’re here. It’s a coincidence that you came to save a passerby. Madam mindlessly asked me a lot of questions about the count. She insisted that I could tell her where his education background came from and where he wanted to go. Because I didn’t lie, I evaded asking Morcerf. The life of Monte Cristo is in his belly. The baroness motioned for you to come over.
Isn’t it incredible that a man with less than 500 thousand secret money can move Teng Ralph to say that he should be so ill-informed
I swear to you, Madam Lv Xian, that if you say that the money is movable, I will take it to a more favorable place without going to the trouble to inquire about the details of the Count of Monte Cristo. In my opinion, his only advantage is that he is twice as rich as an Indian maharaja, but I have already transferred this matter to Morcerf. You can go to him and solve it. Now it is no longer my business.
I’m absolutely sure that no Indian King’s Guild sent me a pair of horses worth 30,000 francs and put four diamonds worth 5,000 francs on my horse’s head.
He seems to be a diamond addict. Morcerf smiled and said, I’m sure he must have filled his pockets with diamonds like Russian prince Pottingkin, and scattered them along the road like children scattering flint.
Maybe he found a mine. Madame Danglars said, I think you probably know that he has a limited payment guarantee in Baron’s Bank.
I don’t know about it, replied Albert, but I can believe it
He told M. Danglars that he was going to live in Paris for one year, during which time he was going to spend 6 million yuan. He must be the king of Persia who swam around.
Have you not noticed that the young woman who accompanied him is extremely beautiful? asked Mr. Lv Xian, Valentine.
I have never seen such a woman as you. Lv Xian put the opera telescope in his eyes. It’s so cute, he said
Who is this young woman, Monsieur de Morcerf? Valentine asked. Does anyone know?
Miss Albert’s answer to this direct question is that, like many things we are talking about this strange man now, I also know that the young woman is a Greek.
I can tell from her dress that you don’t know anything except that one with the facts. The audience in this theater can say that you are equally well informed.
I’m sorry that you think I’m such a knowledgeable guide, replied Morcerf, but I have to admit that I really have nothing else to tell you. Oh, no, I also know that she is a musician, because one day when I was having breakfast at the Earl’s house, I happened to hear a piano, which of course she could play.
Then your count also entertained guests, asked Madame Danglars.
He is indeed the most noble way to entertain, I can assure you of that.
I must persuade Mr. Danglars to invite him over for a meal or a dance. He has to come back to us.
What Debray laughed and said, Are you really going to his house?
Why not? My husband can go with me.
But don’t you know that this mysterious count is a bachelor?
If you look across the street and point to the beautiful Greek woman with a smile, you will get sufficient evidence to the contrary.
No, no, that woman Debray was talking about was not his wife. He told us personally that she was his slave, Morcerf. Do you remember that he told us so when he had breakfast at your place?
