THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO - CHAPTERS 77-79
Albert is being handed the pieces of the past - Haydee's story and his father's. It is time to assemble the complete picture of what happened to her family so long ago and at the direction of whom. Betrayal as the Morcerf foundation instead of honor? Three weeks and either everything will be clear with the threat of a dual as the crowning event or a retraction to the sentences that appeared in the newspaper will be printed.
Albert is released from the engagement with Mademoiselle Danglars. While he is ecstatic, cracks are forming in the dare I say friendship/acquaintanceship between Danglars and Morcerf. Who is Danglars chasing for his daughter? Cavalcanti (who, remember, is actually Villefort's missing son though none of them know it!).
From there we go to a happy scene. Noirtier wants to meet with Morrel and Valentine to discuss their future, but we knew poison had to appear at some point. Remember the discussion between the count and Mme Villefort? It misses its intended victim and an innocent man dies. And who had access to it? Valentine. Does happiness last in this story?
