abuseThat's deep. Nice contemplation. Finally someone using accurate period speach, my congratulations. It really does sound like Edmond...er the Count of Monte Cristo speaking. Very nicely done!

abuseVery nice...

There is a smooth poetry to this that reflects Dumas' original -- good job. Even words which today have different meanings ("stuff") are used in their original context. Beautiful.

What must it have been like for the dead Edmond to observe his beloved's son? I think you've captured that. What must he have felt in order to yet strike at him...?

There are a couple of typographical issues that could be cleaned up, and the transition from God to Mercedes could be a little smoother, but overall this is well done. Thanks for posting.

abuseVery smooth and elegant. The sadness, not the tragedy, is captured. Very good. Except for slips of "stuff", "girl", and what I thought should be "beauty of innocence", it was what I hoped for in a TCOMC fic, because it is an amazingly powerful book.
Excellente!

abuseBeautifully written, my friend! I finished the novel not five minutes ago, and you have completely captured the feelings of Edmond and his lost Catalan bride, Mercédès.

My hat tips in your direction

abuseI have shivers going down my spine. Wonderfully written. Short and sweet. I enjoyed it. The spookiness of it all, the sadness in his voice, the beautiful words used, flowing from his mouth freely, gushing out, punctuated with sighs and groans...

Oops. Got carried away. But it was beautiful. Wonderful job!

abuseThis is great...much the same way I think the Count must have been thinking when he saw Albert for the first time. Keep writing things like this!

abuseNice. Very true to character, in a candidly chilling sort of way--the third paragraph especially.
