There, however, Baptistin informs him that an anonymous letter has arrived saying that the Count's house in Paris is to be burgled that night.

Morcerf is there, finally, to confirm what the two men have discussed between themselves for eight years: that Albert is to marry Eugenie.

My apologies to all of you great fans for how long this story has taken- I have been putting the word out there for a second voice to help me with some of the work but so far no luck. Soon I will add some longer readings so we can get to the end- and in the future I will keep these selections shorter! Thanks again for your patience. Meanwhile- in the coming chapter (70) you will find The Count and his long lost love taking a long walk in the garden where they finally get a chance to talk.
