For various reasons I haven't gotten very far in The Count of Monte Cristo this week, so there isn't much to report...

Oh! Except that I think I may have met a prospective Runaway Lesbian, which is of course what we all read Monte Cristo for. In one brief chapter, Danglars' daughter Eugenie has been repeatedly compared to Diana the Huntress; she utterly ignores the Count himself to gaze at the beautiful woman at his side; and also she has a boon companion, whose name escapes me at this moment, who may become a singer on the stage.

Well obviously an actress is not a fit companion for the daughter of Danglars', so if that happens clearly Eugenie will have to run away. Ta-da! I like this theory very much.
