The Catacombs of Saint Sebastian — Albert Found Asleep and Set Free (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 37 – Part 16)

In The Count of Monte Cristo, the search within the catacombs leads to a guarded cell where Albert lies asleep. Vampa opens the door and reveals him resting calmly, wrapped in a cloak, untouched by the threat that had been set against him.   Awakened, Albert speaks with ease, recalling a dream and assuming his ransom has been paid. The Count and Franz stand before him as Vampa declares his freedom, the danger already lifted.   The peril ends quietly, with Albert unaware of how near it came.   ⸻   New to the journey?
