The Fit (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 17 – Part 19)

The Abbé Faria’s illness strikes in full force.

He warns Dantès of what is to come — and how to save him — but the attack is swift and violent, bringing convulsions, foam, and cries that must be muffled to avoid discovery.

In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 17, the escape is forgotten as Dantès fights to keep his friend alive.
