Had he remained with you, his life must have become a hateful burden, nor would he have participated in your griefs.
He will increase in strength and honor by struggling with adversity, which he will convert into prosperity.

"'Oh,' replied the wretched woman, mournfully shaking her head, "'the prosperity of which you speak, and which, from the bottom of my heart, I pray God in his mercy to grant him, I can never enjoy.
The bitter cup of adversity has been drained by me to the very dregs, and I feel that the grave is not far away.'
You have acted kindly, Count, in bringing me back to the place where I have enjoyed so much bliss.
I ought to meet death on the same spot where happiness was once all my own.
Alas, said Monte Cristo, your words sear and embitter my heart, the more so as you have every reason to hate me.
I have been the cause of all your misfortunes.

You render me still more unhappy.

"'Oh, look at me,' continued she, with a feeling of profound melancholy.
"'My eyes no longer dazzle by their brilliancy.'
for the time has long pled since I used to smile on Edmund Dantes, who anxiously looked out for me from the window of yonder garret, then inhabited by his old father.
Years of grief have created an abyss between those days and the present.
