This original story by Agatha Christe has been preserved with the
exception that Sherlock Holmes retells it to Dr. Watson with
illustrations designed to help the reader visualize same. Dr.
Watson anxious to learn what became of The Sovereign Order of Monte
Cristo and the heirs it was established to protect asked Sherlock
Holmes, So, what became of The Count of Monte Cristo's daughters we
last heard of in the antebellum South? Do you want me to skip right
past the Civil War and into this present time? Holmes replied. Not
entirely, but for now yes, can you please continue the story
presently, I was just wandering since you jumped into the local
Styles case in more modern time not involving Monte Cristo. Very
well then, let me give you the connection between Styles and The
Secret Adversary adventure also involving my dear student Agatha
Christe. In this story, I will disguise Agatha as Tuppence, Monte
Cristo's granddaughter as Jane Finn and myself as Mr. Carter. You
mean to say that one of Monte Cristo's granddaughters has a
connection to Agatha Christe, your protege and that you are
involved with The Order in today's world? Yes, my dear Doctor, you
will now learn that The Order is ever at work, and not only I am
involved but The Count himself appears disguised in the story as a
different 'count' from America. May I know which granddaughter,
that of Mercedes or Haydee? The fact that she speaks French may
give it away for you, but let me not give too much away now so that
you will more thoroughly enjoy this wonderfully true, mysterious
adventure.
