* Shortly after coming to Paris, the Count makes a point to buy the best pair of horses in town for his coach, horses that happen to belong to Danglars. The next day he visits Danglars and meets him, his wife, and her lover Lucien Debray... And that's when a servant tells madame Danglars that her favorite horses, that are of the same color of the ones the Count bought from her husband, are missing, and she suspects Danglars sold them. So [[{{Troll}} the Count, suspecting Danglars did indeed sell him his wife's favorite horses, gets Debray to look at his coach]]... And he confirms.

And all the while the Major clearly has no idea of what he is talking about and has to bumble his way through the entire conversation with the bare-bones version he received from Abbe Bussoni.
