This young man, one might even say this child, plain, unaffected, eloquent with the heartfelt eloquence that is never found by those who seek it, full of affection for everyone, because he was happy and happiness makes even wicked men good, was so effectively spreading the warmth that overflowed from his heart that the accuser himself was not immune to it. Rough and stern though Villefort had been towards him, Edmond’s look, tone and gestures expressed nothing but kindness and goodwill towards his interrogator.
This lad, for he was scarcely a man, simple, natural, eloquent with the eloquence of the heart, never found when sought for, full of affection for everybody, because he was happy, because happiness renders even the wicked good, extended his affection, even to his judge, spite of Villefort’s severe look and stern accent. Dantès seemed full of kindness.
so…he’ll be released then? right? RIGHT?
