"Delightful; shall we be quite retired? have no society, no neighbors?"

"Our companions will be riding-horses, dogs to hunt with, and a
fishing-boat."

"Exactly what I wish for; I will apprise my mother of my intention, and

"But shall you be allowed to go into Normandy?"

"I may go where I please."

"Yes, I am aware you may go alone, since I once met you in Italy--but to
accompany the mysterious Monte Cristo?"

"You forget, count, that I have often told you of the deep interest my
mother takes in you."
