Monte Cristo slowly left the house and turned towards the quay.
But Mercedes did not witness his departure, although she was seated at the little window of the room which had been occupied by old Dantes.
Her eyes were straining to see the ship which was carrying her son over the vast sea, but still her voice involuntarily murmured softly, Edmund, Edmund, Edmund.
Thanks for joining us for these two chapters, 111 and 112, as we approach the end of The Count of Monte Cristo.
I'll give you a few sentences from chapter 113, titled The Past.
the Count departed with a sad heart from the house in which he had left Mercedes, probably never to behold her again.
Since the death of little Edward, a great change had taken place in Monte Cristo.
Having reached the summit of his vengeance by a long and tortuous path, he saw an abyss of doubt yawning before him.
More than this, the conversation which had just taken place between Mercedes and himself had awakened so many recollections in his heart that he felt it necessary to combat with them.
A man of the Count's temperament could not long indulge in that melancholy which can exist in common minds, but which destroys superior ones.
He thought he must have made an error in his calculations, if he now found cause to blame himself.
We'll return with Chapter 113 and 114 in just a few days.
Until then, everyone, please do leave us a kind review, and please do share our show with a friend.
Until next time, stay safe, and we'll be back soon.
Welcome back everyone to 1001 Stories for the Road.
This is your host and storyteller, John Hagedorn.
Today, two chapters from The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas.
The first chapter, chapter 101, is titled Locusta.
Now Locusta was a notorious maker of poisons in the first century Roman Empire, active in the final two reigns of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
She supposedly took part in the assassinations of Claudius and Britannicus.
