At the door he met the commissary of police, who was waiting for him.
The commissary of police, as he traversed the antechamber, made a sign to two gendarmes, who placed themselves one on Dantès’ right and the other on his left.
The commissary took up an iron mallet and knocked thrice, every blow seeming to Dantès as if struck on his heart.
