Bertuccio shares his story with the count of the history he has with the count's newly purchased house. Some key information is learned.

-Monte Cristo was not the only man Villefort wronged.(Does your skin not crawl every time he starts talking about politics? Whenever he opens his mouth it is so evident that the only loyalty he knows is to himself.)

-It cost him his life.

-Villefort had a newborn son. Where is that son now?

Thoughts on the difference between murder and vendetta? Bertuccio is quick to emphasize the difference.

Then we are given more info on Caderousse and his wife after they were given the diamond and go to sell it. Is he a murderer, a thief, or both? Is he as innocent as he portrayed himself? Where has he gone?

Then the last chapter brings us face to face with Danglars. We have been biding our time for this one, haven't we? An unlimited credit at Danglars' bank? What is our count cooking up? I smell complete and utter ruin on the menu.
