Summary: Ten years later, Baron Franz d’Epinay visits Monte Cristo and discovers that there are men there under the employ of Sinbad the Sailor (Dantes), and Franz is invited to Sinbad's "palace" where he is astonished by the magnificent decor, food, and treasure there; all the while, Dantes' is sharing with him hallucinogenic drugs and Franz has a trip. He wakes up the next morning and can't find the entrance to the palace despite his best efforts and wonders if the man, who expounded on his philanthropic jouneys, was even real as he heads to Rome to meet Viscount Albert de Morcerf, (the son of Fernand Mondego, who is now known as the Count de Morcerf) who is a friend of his, and they plan on attending a carnival but arrive late and they can't secure a couch which is required to enjoy the festival, so they stay at an inn.
Reflection: Dantes' philanthropy, and his skillful employment of drugs, are evidence of his amazingly eccentric and brilliant nature. His grotto, his apparently endless skill set, and the fact that he has a dumb (tongueless) servant solidify his place in the history of books as one of the most fantastic and developed character ever.
