De la biblioteca

My labor is all in vain, for I find that the corridor looks into a courtyard filled with soldiers.”
The Count of Monte Cristo, p. 141 · C1
Whole days have I passed in these Titanic efforts, considering my labor well repaid if, by night-time I had contrived to carry away a square inch of this hard-bound cement, changed by ages into a substance unyielding as the stones themselves; then to conceal the mass of earth and rubbish I dug up, I was compelled to break through a staircase, and throw the fruits of my labor into the hollow part of it; but the well is now so completely choked up, that I scarcely think it would be possible to add another handful of dust without leading to discovery.
The Count of Monte Cristo, p. 146 · C1
They found no treasure, but the vines repaid their labor by an extraordinary and superabundant crop.
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables, p. 24 · B2
## The Mountain in Labor
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables, p. 8 · B2
