Edmond’s search for the treasure takes a sudden turn.
In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 23, while bounding across the rocks toward his comrades, Dantès slips and falls heavily down a slope. Found bleeding and in pain, he insists on being left to rest while the sailors eat. Alone again, his body weakened but his mind resolute, Edmond presses himself against a mossy rock — still guarding his hidden purpose.
