I had just graduated from law school, had spent my first summer as an... year as an intern, and there was all this buzz about this hotshot young first-year law student from Harvard.
Villefort had come to the bank especially early one morning because Danglars wanted him to be present when he received the fabulously wealthy Count of Monte Cristo about whom all Paris was buzzing.
I would walk out of that theater absolutely buzzing, knowing there was something beyond this world that I was born into, and that I had to find a way to be a part of it.
