The Rendezvous — The Date Is Fixed for Paris (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 38 – Part 5)

In The Count of Monte Cristo, the Paris appointment is set with exact precision in the Count’s salon. He marks the date—May 21 at half-past ten—and records Albert’s address on the Rue du Helder, binding the meeting to a specific hour.   Albert accepts without hesitation, arranging to receive him, while the Count confirms his own punctuality and prepares to depart for Naples. The moment turns to farewell as plans separate the three men once more.   The future meeting is fixed, and the parting begins.   ⸻   New to the journey?
