Villefort rose, half-ashamed of being surprised in such a paroxysm of grief.

The terrible office he had held for twenty-five years had succeeded in making him more or less than man.

His glance, at first wandering, fixed itself upon Morrel.

“Who are you, sir,” he asked, “that forget that this is not the manner to enter a house stricken with death?

Go, sir, go!”

Chapter 100 of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas holds 169 sentences, grouped into 34 reading sections of at most 5 sentences. The text is the public-domain source, unabridged, and the chapter records which sentences cover which part of the work so that nothing is dropped. Every word can be tapped for its pronunciation and dictionary entry.

What does chapter 100 of The Count of Monte Cristo contain?

Chapter 100 holds 169 sentences of The Count of Monte Cristo, unabridged, divided into 34 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 100 of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas exactly as it stands in the public-domain source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 169 sentences, grouped into 34 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces. The chapter also stores a coverage record mapping every one of its sentences to a part of the work, which is how the edition demonstrates that no line was dropped.

How do I study chapter 100 of The Count of Monte Cristo?

Work through the 34 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 34 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 100 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 100 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.
