The Abbe shows Dantes how he keeps time without a watch, how he writes his manuscripts using ink and pens he has created, and many other useful things. When Dantes asks if the Abbe can help him solve how it was that he (Dantes) ended up in prison the Abbe, through a seies of questions and answers,implicates Danglers and Villaforte in their crimes- and for the first time Dantes realizes how he has been duped. He vows revenge.

Dantes finally meets Abbe Faria,a political agitator who has been imprisoned for his beliefs, who tells Dante he has been digging a tunnel to freedom, and Dante is impressed by his intellect and industriousness, as he has tunneled 50 feet through stone and mortar, his hope being to end at the castle wall over the water- but instead ending at Dantes chamber.
