So far, then, said Danglars, mentally, all has gone as I would have it. I am, temporarily, commander of the Pharaon, with the certainty of being permanently so, if that fool of a Caderousse can be persuaded to hold his tongue. My only fear is the chance of Dantes being released. But, there, he is in the hands of Justice; and, added he with a smile, she will take her own. So saying, he leaped into a boat, desiring to be rowed on board the Pharaon, where M. Morrel had agreed to meet him.

In this passage, Danglars reflects on his successful plans regarding the ship Pharaon. He is temporarily in command and confident that he will secure the role permanently, provided that Caderousse remains silent about certain matters. His only concern is the potential release of Dantes, a rival whom he sees as a threat to his ambitions. However, he believes that justice will ultimately take care of the situation and leaves it in its hands.

With a sense of assurance, Danglars sails off to meet M. Morrel on the Pharaon, eagerly anticipating the future where he hopes to solidify his power. His thoughts demonstrate a mixture of ambition and cunning, as he aims to eliminate any obstacles that stand in his way while reveling in his perceived control over events unfolding around him.
