Chapter 10
Faria did not know the Isle of Monte Cristo,but Dantes did.He
had often passed by that small island.
The old man shook violently in every limb,his eyes opned,
frightening to behold,and he heaved a sign which sounded like a
shriek Then his trembling body gradually became rigid again.
“Well,”said one voice of a jailer,.“the old lunatic's5 gone off to
find his treasure.Bon voyage!"
Dantes slowly raised the stone with his head and cast a swift glance
around the cell.It was empty.He entered.Stretched out on the bed,
faintly illuminated by the pale ray of daylight coming in through the
window,he saw a sack of coarse cloth under whose ample folds he
could discern the outlines of a long,stiff form.It was Faria's shroud.
"The only way I'll ever leave this dungeon is like Faria."He
thought.
