🔊 WE leave the reader to imagine with what joy Morrel and Valentine welcomed the arrival of the curé, whose aid they had so long and so eagerly desired. The Count of Monte Cristo, after having left Albert at the door of the hotel, had proceeded to the rendezvous which he had appointed with Luigi Vampa. The bandit was awaiting him in the subterranean retreat which served as his headquarters.
