The Count of Monte Cristo
After years in prison for a crime he did not commit, Edmond Dantès returns with a fortune and a plan for the men who betrayed him.
From the English edition
Immediately, and according to custom, the ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean were covered with spectators; it is always an event at Marseilles for a ship to come into port, especially when this ship, like the _Pharaon_, has been built, rigged, and laden at the old Phocée docks, and belongs to an owner of the city.
