The
year
1829
,
"
returned
Jacopo
.
It
was
fourteen
years
day
for
day
since
Dantes
'
arrest
.
He
was
nineteen
when
he
entered
the
Chateau
d'If
;
he
was
thirty-three
when
he
escaped
.
A
sorrowful
smile
passed
over
his
face
;
he
asked
himself
what
had
become
of
Mercedes
,
who
must
believe
him
dead
.
Then
his
eyes
lighted
up
with
hatred
as
he
thought
of
the
three
men
who
had
caused
him
so
long
and
wretched
a
captivity
.
He
renewed
against
Danglars
,
Fernand
,
and
Villefort
the
oath
of
implacable
vengeance
he
had
made
in
his
dungeon
.
This
oath
was
no
longer
a
vain
menace
;
for
the
fastest
sailer
in
the
Mediterranean
would
have
been
unable
to
overtake
the
little
tartan
,
that
with
every
stitch
of
canvas
set
was
flying
before
the
wind
to
Leghorn
.
Dantes
had
not
been
a
day
on
board
before
he
had
a
very
clear
idea
of
the
men
with
whom
his
lot
had
been
cast
.
Without
having
been
in
the
school
of
the
Abbe
Faria
,
the
worthy
master
of
The
Young
Amelia
(
the
name
of
the
Genoese
tartan
)
knew
a
smattering
of
all
the
tongues
spoken
on
the
shores
of
that
large
lake
called
the
Mediterranean
,
from
the
Arabic
to
the
Provencal
,
and
this
,
while
it
spared
him
interpreters
,
persons
always
troublesome
and
frequently
indiscreet
,
gave
him
great
facilities
of
communication
,
either
with
the
vessels
he
met
at
sea
,
with
the
small
boats
sailing
along
the
coast
,
or
with
the
people
without
name
,
country
,
or
occupation
,
who
are
always
seen
on
the
quays
of
seaports
,
and
who
live
by
hidden
and
mysterious
means
which
we
must
suppose
to
be
a
direct
gift
of
providence
,
as
they
have
no
visible
means
of
support
.
It
is
fair
to
assume
that
Dantes
was
on
board
a
smuggler
.
At
first
the
captain
had
received
Dantes
on
board
with
a
certain
degree
of
distrust
.
He
was
very
well
known
to
the
customs
officers
of
the
coast
;
and
as
there
was
between
these
worthies
and
himself
a
perpetual
battle
of
wits
,
he
had
at
first
thought
that
Dantes
might
be
an
emissary
of
these
industrious
guardians
of
rights
and
duties
,
who
perhaps
employed
this
ingenious
means
of
learning
some
of
the
secrets
of
his
trade
.
But
the
skilful
manner
in
which
Dantes
had
handled
the
lugger
had
entirely
reassured
him
;
and
then
,
when
he
saw
the
light
plume
of
smoke
floating
above
the
bastion
of
the
Chateau
d'If
,
and
heard
the
distant
report
,
he
was
instantly
struck
with
the
idea
that
he
had
on
board
his
vessel
one
whose
coming
and
going
,
like
that
of
kings
,
was
accompanied
with
salutes
of
artillery
.
This
made
him
less
uneasy
,
it
must
be
owned
,
than
if
the
new-comer
had
proved
to
be
a
customs
officer
;
but
this
supposition
also
disappeared
like
the
first
,
when
he
beheld
the
perfect
tranquillity
of
his
recruit
.
Edmond
thus
had
the
advantage
of
knowing
what
the
owner
was
,
without
the
owner
knowing
who
he
was
;
and
however
the
old
sailor
and
his
crew
tried
to
"
pump
"
him
,
they
extracted
nothing
more
from
him
;
he
gave
accurate
descriptions
of
Naples
and
Malta
,
which
he
knew
as
well
as
Marseilles
,
and
held
stoutly
to
his
first
story
.
Thus
the
Genoese
,
subtle
as
he
was
,
was
duped
by
Edmond
,
in
whose
favor
his
mild
demeanor
,
his
nautical
skill
,
and
his
admirable
dissimulation
,
pleaded
.
Moreover
,
it
is
possible
that
the
Genoese
was
one
of
those
shrewd
persons
who
know
nothing
but
what
they
should
know
,
and
believe
nothing
but
what
they
should
believe
.
In
this
state
of
mutual
understanding
,
they
reached
Leghorn
.
Here
Edmond
was
to
undergo
another
trial
;
he
was
to
find
out
whether
he
could
recognize
himself
,
as
he
had
not
seen
his
own
face
for
fourteen
years
.
He
had
preserved
a
tolerably
good
remembrance
of
what
the
youth
had
been
,
and
was
now
to
find
out
what
the
man
had
become
.
His
comrades
believed
that
his
vow
was
fulfilled
.
As
he
had
twenty
times
touched
at
Leghorn
,
he
remembered
a
barber
in
St.
Ferdinand
Street
;
he
went
there
to
have
his
beard
and
hair
cut
.
The
barber
gazed
in
amazement
at
this
man
with
the
long
,
thick
and
black
hair
and
beard
,
which
gave
his
head
the
appearance
of
one
of
Titian
's
portraits
.
At
this
period
it
was
not
the
fashion
to
wear
so
large
a
beard
and
hair
so
long
;
now
a
barber
would
only
be
surprised
if
a
man
gifted
with
such
advantages
should
consent
voluntarily
to
deprive
himself
of
them
.
The
Leghorn
barber
said
nothing
and
went
to
work
.
When
the
operation
was
concluded
,
and
Edmond
felt
that
his
chin
was
completely
smooth
,
and
his
hair
reduced
to
its
usual
length
,
he
asked
for
a
hand-glass
.
He
was
now
,
as
we
have
said
,
three-and-thirty
years
of
age
,
and
his
fourteen
years
'
imprisonment
had
produced
a
great
transformation
in
his
appearance
.
Dantes
had
entered
the
Chateau
d'If
with
the
round
,
open
,
smiling
face
of
a
young
and
happy
man
,
with
whom
the
early
paths
of
life
have
been
smooth
,
and
who
anticipates
a
future
corresponding
with
his
past
.
This
was
now
all
changed
.
The
oval
face
was
lengthened
,
his
smiling
mouth
had
assumed
the
firm
and
marked
lines
which
betoken
resolution
;
his
eyebrows
were
arched
beneath
a
brow
furrowed
with
thought
;
his
eyes
were
full
of
melancholy
,
and
from
their
depths
occasionally
sparkled
gloomy
fires
of
misanthropy
and
hatred
;
his
complexion
,
so
long
kept
from
the
sun
,
had
now
that
pale
color
which
produces
,
when
the
features
are
encircled
with
black
hair
,
the
aristocratic
beauty
of
the
man
of
the
north
;
the
profound
learning
he
had
acquired
had
besides
diffused
over
his
features
a
refined
intellectual
expression
;
and
he
had
also
acquired
,
being
naturally
of
a
goodly
stature
,
that
vigor
which
a
frame
possesses
which
has
so
long
concentrated
all
its
force
within
itself
.
To
the
elegance
of
a
nervous
and
slight
form
had
succeeded
the
solidity
of
a
rounded
and
muscular
figure
.
As
to
his
voice
,
prayers
,
sobs
,
and
imprecations
had
changed
it
so
that
at
times
it
was
of
a
singularly
penetrating
sweetness
,
and
at
others
rough
and
almost
hoarse
.
Moreover
,
from
being
so
long
in
twilight
or
darkness
,
his
eyes
had
acquired
the
faculty
of
distinguishing
objects
in
the
night
,
common
to
the
hyena
and
the
wolf
.
Edmond
smiled
when
he
beheld
himself
:
it
was
impossible
that
his
best
friend
--
if
,
indeed
,
he
had
any
friend
left
--
could
recognize
him
;
he
could
not
recognize
himself
.
