The Catacombs of Saint Sebastian — The Count Sets Out to Rescue Albert (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 37 – Part 10)

In The Count of Monte Cristo, the plan is fixed as the Count accepts Peppino’s account and turns to immediate action. He assures Franz that Albert’s danger will not extend beyond alarm, then proposes they go at once to the catacombs of St. Sebastian where he is held.   A carriage is ordered without delay, preparations made with quiet precision, and the hour noted as they ready themselves for the journey. The Count invites Franz to accompany him, and he agrees without hesitation.   The rescue begins, as they depart into the Roman night.   ⸻   New to the journey?
