"But," said Beauchamp, who was very incredulous, do you carry those drugs with you? "Constantly," Montecristo replied. -Was it indiscretion to ask you to see those beautiful pills? said Beauchamp, believing to put the count in a tighten. "No, Lord," the Count replied, and took out a wonderful box embedded in a single emerald, and closed by a golden thread, which unraveling, gave way to a greenish ball and the size of a pea.
Beauchamp expressed disbelief when he questioned Montecristo about carrying drugs with him. Montecristo confirmed that he always had them on hand, leading Beauchamp to inquire about viewing these intriguing pills, thinking he might catch the Count off guard. However, Montecristo remained composed and invited Beauchamp's curiosity rather than being offended.
In response, Montecristo revealed a beautiful box adorned with emeralds, which captivated Beauchamp's attention. As he carefully opened the box, it revealed a small greenish ball, showcasing the Count's extraordinary possession and adding to the mystique surrounding him. This exchange highlights the interplay between skepticism and fascination.
