From the library

« Vous comprenez, dit-il en jetant un regard sur les cendres, qui conservaient encore la forme du papier, et qui voltigeaient au-dessus des flammes : maintenant, cette lettre est anéantie, vous et moi savons seuls qu'elle a existé ; on ne vous la représentera point : niez-la donc si l'on vous en parle, niez-la hardiment et vous êtes sauvé.
Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, p. 67 · C1
