“Oh, yes; and they may have the fact attested whenever they please.”
The Count of Monte Cristo, p. 322 · C1
“Sir,” said d’Épinay to Noirtier, “since you are well acquainted with all these details, which are attested by honorable signatures,—since you appear to take some interest in me, although you have only manifested it hitherto by causing me sorrow, refuse me not one final satisfaction—tell me the name of the president of the club, that I may at least know who killed my father.”
The Count of Monte Cristo, p. 775 · C1
