Summary:

In a private moment away from the betrothal celebration, Villefort urgently warns the Marquis de Saint-Méran to sell all his investments before it’s too late. Using the excuse of an official mission to Paris, Villefort orchestrates a financial escape for the marquis and secures letters of access that will allow him to bypass political protocol—revealing how quickly power must move when a regime trembles.

Key Events:

  • Villefort convinces the marquis to sell his fortune in government bonds.

  • A letter to the marquis’s broker is written immediately.

  • Villefort requests another letter to secure immediate access to the king.

  • The marquis suggests going through the Keeper of the Seals.

  • The urgency of the moment hints at an approaching political upheaval.
