what
Adults will know after reading the letter.
So can I find you here later?
definitely
Franz walked to the hotel. He met Signor Pastrini on the stairs.
How about it? asked the hotel owner
What is it? Franz asked.
Have you seen the man sent by your friend to look for you? He asked Franz.
Yes, I saw him, he replied. He gave me this letter. Will you light the candles in my room?
The owner of the hotel ordered a candle to be lit and taken to Franz’s room. The young man was even more anxious to read Albert’s letter when he saw Signor Pastrini look very frightened. He immediately went to the candle and opened the letter, which was signed by Albert. Franz read it twice before it was in vain.

When my dear friend arrived at this letter, he took pains to look for the bill of exchange in my wallet at once. The wallet is not enough in the big drawer of the desk. Please add it to Torlonia, where he will order 4,000 piastres to bring the money on the spot. I am anxious for this money. I won’t delay. I won’t say anything more about trusting you, just like you can trust me.
Your friend Al Bermar Cerf.
P.S. Now I believe that Italy is indeed a robber.
In these few lines, there are still two lines of handwriting, which are unfamiliar to Italian. The 4,000-year-old Piaget holiday can’t reach me at six o’clock in the morning, and Count Rihal Bermar Seve can’t live Luigi Vampa at seven o’clock.
Franz saw this second signature, and everything became white. Now he understood why the messenger refused to come to his room because the street was safer for him. So Albert fell into the hands of the famous robber, and when the robber refused to believe that he couldn’t wave any more, he hurriedly hit the desk and took the wallet from the drawer. The total amount of the bill was 6,000 piastres, of which Albert had spent 3,000 on Franz because he lived in Buddha. Lorenza came to Rome for seven days, and he brought a hundred Louis with him. Now there are less than fifty people left. Together, it is 700 yuan short of the amount Albert wants. Astor is good. In this case, he believes that Mr. Torlonia will help him. When he dare not wave, he wants to go back to Brassino’s house. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He remembered that Franz, the Count of Monte Cristo, wanted to ring the bell to call Signor Pastrini, but the respectable man has come. He said urgently that you know whether the count is at home, my good sir.
At home, my Lord, he has come back.
Is he in bed?
I don’t think so
Then knock on his door and ask him if he can see me.
Signor Pastrini obeyed and left. Five minutes later, he came back and said that the count was expecting his Excellency.
Franz walked along the corridor, and a servant led him to the count. He was in a small room surrounded by benches. The count had never met him before Franz. What brings you here at this time? He said, are you coming to have dinner with me? It’s very kind of you.
No, I’m here to talk to you about something very serious.
A serious matter, said the count, looking at Franz with his usual sincerity. What is it?
Are there two of us here?
It was the count who answered, went to the door, looked at it and came back. Franz gave him Albert’s letter.
Read this letter, he said.
The count looked at it again. Oh, oh, he said
Did you see that comment?
Yes, indeed.
The 4,000 piastres holiday will not reach me at six o’clock in the morning, and Count Rihal Bermar Seve will not live at Luigi Vampa at seven o’clock.
What do you think should be done about it? asked Franz.
You didn’t ask for the money.
But there’s still a lot to be done.
The count went to his desk, opened a drawer full of gold coins and said to Franz, I hope you won’t borrow money from others without throwing me in the face.
You see, on the contrary, I came to you first.
I thank you for this. You have gone to get it, so he made a gesture to Franz to say that he could take as much as he wanted.
Then we must send money to Luigi Vamparo, the young man asked. It’s his turn to look at the count.
You’ve made up your mind, he replied. The annotation was white.
I think if you are willing to use your head, you can think of a way to simplify this negotiation, said Franz
Why? replied the count with a look of surprise
If we go to Luigi Vampa together, I’m sure he will promise you to release Albert.
What power can I refer to a robber?
Didn’t you just help him once and never forget?
