He had no fears as to how he should live--good seamen are welcome everywhere. He spoke Italian like a Tuscan, and Spanish like a Castilian; he would have been free, and happy with Merc d s and his father, whereas he was now confined in the Chateau d'If, that impregnable fortress, ignorant of the future destiny of his father and Merc d s; and all this because he had trusted to Villefort's promise.

我说，看到这个时间；我的意思并不是说，我们自己的眼睛看它：它可能是如此遥远，因为事实上它似乎一些，许多将几乎认为值得思考：但有一些我们谁不能把我们的脸在墙上，或坐在deedless因为我们的希望似乎有些暗淡；，事实上，我认为，虽然在过去的迹象衰变旧艺术与所有的罪恶，必须遵循的列车只对我们太明显，所以在另一方面有不想标志的新的曙光超出可能晚上的艺术，我面前讲：这个标志主要是，有一些少数至少谁衷心不满是因为他们的事情，并渴望有更好的，或者至少是它的一些承诺-这最好的迹象：对我猜想，如果一些半打男子在任何时候切实心中对未来哪些东西没有人与自然的不和谐，这将成为过去一天或其他；因为它不是偶然的一个想法开始的首长少数；而他们推的，并被迫发言或行为中的一些搅拌世界心脏否则得不到表达。
