“The Arbor” (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 17 – Part 10)

Three men. One arbor. Pens, ink, and paper. The memory crashes into Dantès like a wave: the night before his wedding, Danglars, Fernand, and a drunken Caderousse sat together, conspiring in plain sight. One wanted his job. One wanted his bride. And one looked away. As the pieces fall into place, Dantès begins to understand the scope of his betrayal. But a deeper mystery still remains: why was there no trial?   Get bonus episodes and full-length readings on Patreon: https://patreon.com/gruntworkpod Join the discussion on Discord: https://discord.gg/Sg2prdm
