Oh, he is a descendant of Sinbad and a good friend of mine. He is very rich, and everyone in Britain is crazy. His real name is Lord Weimar.
Ah, well, that’s all white. Andre said that’s very special, so this Englishman is me. Yes, it’s great. I’ll be at your disposal at Earl’s Court.
What you said is true, said the count with a smile. Perhaps you can tell me something about your family.
Of course, the young man said that his look showed that he had a good memory. You said it was Major Andrei Cavalcanti, Barometer Bartholomew Cavalcanti. The name of our Cavalcanti family was engraved in Florence. Although the gold family was still rich, it suffered many setbacks. When I was five years old, I was abducted by my treacherous tutor. I haven’t seen my biological father for fifteen years. After I got to know the facts, I kept looking for him, but I got all of them. Finally, I received a letter from your friend saying that my father.
I’m very interested in what you said. Monte Cristo looked at the young man with gloomy satisfaction and said, it’s right for you to pour out your heart to our friend Sinbad, because your father is here and looking for you.
From the moment the count entered the living room, he never ignored the expression on the young man’s face. He admired him very much. He looked calm and steady, but when he heard these two very common words that your father was really here and looking for you, little Andre was startled and shouted, My father, my father is here.
There is no doubt about it, replied Monte Cristo. Your father, Major Bartolomio Cavalcanti.
The look of horror that was once full of young people’s faces almost vanished at once.
Ah, yes, of course, that’s the name. He said Major Bartholomew Cavalcanti, but you really said that my dear father is here in Earl Court?
I can even add that I was with him just now. He told me about his loss. After listening to it, I was deeply moved. Indeed, he was worried about it, hoping that his fear would be over. One day, he finally got a letter saying that the people who kidnapped his son were willing to give him back now, but they should tell him where to find it, but they should get a large sum of money for ransom. Your father did not hesitate to send the money to the Piedmont border and brought a passport to Italy. You were in the south of France, I think.
It was Andre who replied in an embarrassed tone that I was in the south of France.
A carriage is waiting for you in Nice.
Exactly. It took me from Nice to Genoa, from Genoa to Turin, from Turin to Chambery, from Chambery to Lake Beauvoir and from Lake Beauvoir to Paris.
Well, then your father should have met you on the road, because he happened to take that route, and according to this calculation, the road was good at every point
But Andre said that even if my father had met me, I doubt if he still knew me. I must have changed a lot since he last saw me.
Oh, as the saying goes, father is born, said Monte Cristo
That’s right, the young man said, I didn’t expect the saying, father’s nature.
Your father still feels a little insecure about one thing at the moment. Monte Cristo replied that he was eager to know what happened to you during your absence from him. How did those who harmed you treat you? Did they ever care about your status? Finally, he was eager to know whether you were lucky enough to get rid of the bad mental influence, which was definitely more unbearable than physical pain. He wanted to know that your natural goodness was not weakened by lack of education. Do you think you can regain your position in the society?
I hope there are no rumors.
Personally, the first time I heard your name was that philanthropist, my friend Weimar, who told me that when he first met you, you were in a rather unpleasant situation, but I didn’t know the details because I didn’t ask you in detail. Unfortunately, you caused him to sympathize with you. At that time, the situation must be very interesting. He told me that he really wanted to restore your lost position and must find your father, but he really did, and obviously found him. Finally, my friend informed me that you were coming. And gave me instructions for your future happiness. I know that my friend Wilma is a strange man, but he is sincere and the gold mine is generally rich. He can do whatever he wants without worrying that he will lose everything, and I have promised to carry out his instructions. Now, Sir, I feel that I don’t mind asking you a question. According to your property name, you will become a prominent person. I really want to know that you have encountered misfortune, which is by no means something you can cope with. Therefore, I respect you at all. I really want to know that they have not done anything to make you feel at a loss about stepping into that meeting.
When the count spoke, he gradually regained his confidence. In this respect, you can rest assured that those people who abducted me from my father, as they have shown now, have always been determined to sell me back to him, so that they can easily get the maximum benefit. The best way to do this is to let me protect my identity and talent, which may even need to be improved. Slave owners in Asia Minor often train their slaves to be grammar teachers, doctors and philosophers, so that they can sell me at a good price in the Roman market. I was well educated, and Monte Cristo smiled with satisfaction. It seemed as if he didn’t expect Mr. Andrea Cavalcanti to be so alert and sophisticated, and the young man went on to say that they would forgive me even if I was born with misfortune in my childhood, even if I was not educated enough or violated the established etiquette.
Very well, Monte Cristo, an outsider, said that it is up to you to do whatever you want, and you are the most interested, but I am you. I will not say a word about these adventures. Your life story is simply a strange story. Although the world is sandwiched between two yellow paper covers, it is strange that it refuses to believe those who are packed in living parchment, that is, a decent person like you. I would like to wake up your troubles. If you talk about your touching life story to someone, I would like to wake up. Before you finish your speech, you will be heated and regarded as a fabrication. Therefore, you will no longer be a abducted and found child, but will be seen as an explosion like a mushroom that grows at night. You may arouse some people’s little curiosity and become the center of people’s conversation. It seems that not everyone wants to talk.
I agree with you that the young man in the Earl’s Court said that he couldn’t help turning pale when he stared at Monte Cristo. This is really an unpleasant knot.
But of course you don’t have to exaggerate your misfortune, said Monte Cristo, but you don’t have to try your best to avoid one thing and lose sight of the other. You must be determined to take a simple course of action, which is easy and necessary for a wise man like you. You must make some good friends to offset the prejudice that your humble life may cause. Andre’s face suddenly turns pale, and I can come to your guarantor, said Monte Cristo, a reliable consultant. But I am skeptical of my best friend by nature and I am willing to do the same to me. If I deviate from this rule, I will be playing an amateur role and it would be foolish to be ridiculed.
But Andre of Earl Court said that I was introduced to you by Lord Weimar.
Yes, of course, Monte Cristo interrupted him and said, my dear Monsieur Andre, but Lord Weimar didn’t forget to tell me that you had a lot of troubles in your childhood. The count looked at Andre’s face and said, I didn’t ask you to tell me, and your father came to Lucca because you asked for help. Your horse can see him. He is a little stiff and arrogant and his appearance is a little poor, but everyone knows that when he served in the Austrian legion, everything can be forgiven. We are generally not very demanding of Austrians. You will soon know that your father is a very decent person. I can assure you.
Ah, sir, you put me at ease. We have been apart for so long that I have no idea what he looks like.
And you know that in the eyes of ordinary people, a large family property can make up for all defects.
So is my father really rich?
He is a millionaire, and his annual income reaches 500,000 livres.
Then the young man said eagerly that my situation must be very decent
It’s the most decent thing, my dear husband. During your stay in Paris, he can let you enter 50 thousand livres every year
Exactly, because I’ve never known anyone with this name except the one named Hehe Sinbad on the night of 1011.
