Summary
"How did you find me?" the Count finally asks, to break the silence at last. Albert smiles.
"It was Vampa. Luigi Vampa."
"He brought you here? I shall have words with him. Not that I am displeased to see you, of course," he adds, belatedly, not entirely honest, "but the principle still stands."
“He did not,” Albert explains, seating himself on the sofa with a soft sound. He looks ragged and tired, deep shadows underneath his eyes, but there is a certain glow about him. Perhaps it is his tanned – almost sunburnt – skin, perhaps it is the smile pulling at his lips and his eyes (which, Monte-Cristo unwillingly notices, have developed new wrinkles). “I bullied him into accompanying me here.”
The Count raises an eyebrow.
“And he assented?”
“Well, yes. I had him at gunpoint.”Series
