From the library

Valentine trouva son aïeule au lit ; muettes caresses, gonflement si douloureux du cœur, soupirs entrecoupés, larmes brûlantes, voilà quels furent les seuls détails racontables de cette entrevue, à laquelle assistait, au bras de son mari, Mme de Villefort, pleine de respect, apparent du moins, pour la pauvre veuve.
Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, p. 730 · C1
