This
world
was
not
then
so
good
as
Doctor
Pangloss
believed
it
,
neither
was
it
so
wicked
as
Dantes
thought
it
,
since
this
man
,
who
had
nothing
to
expect
from
his
comrade
but
the
inheritance
of
his
share
of
the
prize-money
,
manifested
so
much
sorrow
when
he
saw
him
fall
.
Fortunately
,
as
we
have
said
,
Edmond
was
only
wounded
,
and
with
certain
herbs
gathered
at
certain
seasons
,
and
sold
to
the
smugglers
by
the
old
Sardinian
women
,
the
wound
soon
closed
.
Edmond
then
resolved
to
try
Jacopo
,
and
offered
him
in
return
for
his
attention
a
share
of
his
prize-money
,
but
Jacopo
refused
it
indignantly
.
As
a
result
of
the
sympathetic
devotion
which
Jacopo
had
from
the
first
bestowed
on
Edmond
,
the
latter
was
moved
to
a
certain
degree
of
affection
.
But
this
sufficed
for
Jacopo
,
who
instinctively
felt
that
Edmond
had
a
right
to
superiority
of
position
--
a
superiority
which
Edmond
had
concealed
from
all
others
.
And
from
this
time
the
kindness
which
Edmond
showed
him
was
enough
for
the
brave
seaman
.
Then
in
the
long
days
on
board
ship
,
when
the
vessel
,
gliding
on
with
security
over
the
azure
sea
,
required
no
care
but
the
hand
of
the
helmsman
,
thanks
to
the
favorable
winds
that
swelled
her
sails
,
Edmond
,
with
a
chart
in
his
hand
,
became
the
instructor
of
Jacopo
,
as
the
poor
Abbe
Faria
had
been
his
tutor
.
He
pointed
out
to
him
the
bearings
of
the
coast
,
explained
to
him
the
variations
of
the
compass
,
and
taught
him
to
read
in
that
vast
book
opened
over
our
heads
which
they
call
heaven
,
and
where
God
writes
in
azure
with
letters
of
diamonds
.
And
when
Jacopo
inquired
of
him
,
"
What
is
the
use
of
teaching
all
these
things
to
a
poor
sailor
like
me
?
"
Edmond
replied
,
"
Who
knows
?
You
may
one
day
be
the
captain
of
a
vessel
.
Your
fellow-countryman
,
Bonaparte
,
became
emperor
.
"
We
had
forgotten
to
say
that
Jacopo
was
a
Corsican
.
Two
months
and
a
half
elapsed
in
these
trips
,
and
Edmond
had
become
as
skilful
a
coaster
as
he
had
been
a
hardy
seaman
;
he
had
formed
an
acquaintance
with
all
the
smugglers
on
the
coast
,
and
learned
all
the
Masonic
signs
by
which
these
half
pirates
recognize
each
other
.
He
had
passed
and
re-passed
his
Island
of
Monte
Cristo
twenty
times
,
but
not
once
had
he
found
an
opportunity
of
landing
there
.
He
then
formed
a
resolution
.
As
soon
as
his
engagement
with
the
patron
of
The
Young
Amelia
ended
,
he
would
hire
a
small
vessel
on
his
own
account
--
for
in
his
several
voyages
he
had
amassed
a
hundred
piastres
--
and
under
some
pretext
land
at
the
Island
of
Monte
Cristo
.
Then
he
would
be
free
to
make
his
researches
,
not
perhaps
entirely
at
liberty
,
for
he
would
be
doubtless
watched
by
those
who
accompanied
him
.
But
in
this
world
we
must
risk
something
.
Prison
had
made
Edmond
prudent
,
and
he
was
desirous
of
running
no
risk
whatever
.
But
in
vain
did
he
rack
his
imagination
;
fertile
as
it
was
,
he
could
not
devise
any
plan
for
reaching
the
island
without
companionship
.
Dantes
was
tossed
about
on
these
doubts
and
wishes
,
when
the
patron
,
who
had
great
confidence
in
him
,
and
was
very
desirous
of
retaining
him
in
his
service
,
took
him
by
the
arm
one
evening
and
led
him
to
a
tavern
on
the
Via
del
'
Oglio
,
where
the
leading
smugglers
of
Leghorn
used
to
congregate
and
discuss
affairs
connected
with
their
trade
.
Already
Dantes
had
visited
this
maritime
Bourse
two
or
three
times
,
and
seeing
all
these
hardy
free-traders
,
who
supplied
the
whole
coast
for
nearly
two
hundred
leagues
in
extent
,
he
had
asked
himself
what
power
might
not
that
man
attain
who
should
give
the
impulse
of
his
will
to
all
these
contrary
and
diverging
minds
.
This
time
it
was
a
great
matter
that
was
under
discussion
,
connected
with
a
vessel
laden
with
Turkey
carpets
,
stuffs
of
the
Levant
,
and
cashmeres
.
It
was
necessary
to
find
some
neutral
ground
on
which
an
exchange
could
be
made
,
and
then
to
try
and
land
these
goods
on
the
coast
of
France
.
If
the
venture
was
successful
the
profit
would
be
enormous
,
there
would
be
a
gain
of
fifty
or
sixty
piastres
each
for
the
crew
.
The
patron
of
The
Young
Amelia
proposed
as
a
place
of
landing
the
Island
of
Monte
Cristo
,
which
being
completely
deserted
,
and
having
neither
soldiers
nor
revenue
officers
,
seemed
to
have
been
placed
in
the
midst
of
the
ocean
since
the
time
of
the
heathen
Olympus
by
Mercury
,
the
god
of
merchants
and
robbers
,
classes
of
mankind
which
we
in
modern
times
have
separated
if
not
made
distinct
,
but
which
antiquity
appears
to
have
included
in
the
same
category
.
At
the
mention
of
Monte
Cristo
Dantes
started
with
joy
;
he
rose
to
conceal
his
emotion
,
and
took
a
turn
around
the
smoky
tavern
,
where
all
the
languages
of
the
known
world
were
jumbled
in
a
lingua
franca
.
When
he
again
joined
the
two
persons
who
had
been
discussing
the
matter
,
it
had
been
decided
that
they
should
touch
at
Monte
Cristo
and
set
out
on
the
following
night
Edmond
,
being
consulted
,
was
of
opinion
that
the
island
afforded
every
possible
security
,
and
that
great
enterprises
to
be
well
done
should
be
done
quickly
.
Nothing
then
was
altered
in
the
plan
,
and
orders
were
given
to
get
under
weigh
next
night
,
and
,
wind
and
weather
permitting
,
to
make
the
neutral
island
by
the
following
day
.
Thus
,
at
length
,
by
one
of
the
unexpected
strokes
of
fortune
which
sometimes
befall
those
who
have
for
a
long
time
been
the
victims
of
an
evil
destiny
,
Dantes
was
about
to
secure
the
opportunity
he
wished
for
,
by
simple
and
natural
means
,
and
land
on
the
island
without
incurring
any
suspicion
.
One
night
more
and
he
would
be
on
his
way
.
