The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 69: riassunto
Chapter 69 di 117 · Volume 3 · 13 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 69, M. de Villefort investigates the Count of Monte Cristo through Abbé Busoni and Lord Wilmore, seeking an explanation for his purchase at Auteuil. Their accounts ease his fears, but the revelation that Monte Cristo impersonates Wilmore shows that Villefort accepts testimony controlled by the man he investigates.
Cosa succede
- M. de Villefort asks M. de Boville to find sources who can explain Monte Cristo’s background and knowledge of Auteuil.
- Reports identify Abbé Busoni and Lord Wilmore and describe their homes, habits, and apparent characters.
- Busoni tells a visitor that Monte Cristo is charitable and buys the Auteuil house to establish an asylum.
- Wilmore claims to hate Monte Cristo and attributes his wealth to a silver mine and his Auteuil purchase to mineral-water speculation.
- After the visitor leaves, Wilmore removes his disguise and reveals himself as Monte Cristo.
- The visitor proves to be Villefort, who feels calmer and sleeps soundly despite receiving no genuinely reassuring evidence.
