Context

“«So young,» said Albert, forgetting at the moment the Count's command that he should ask no questions of the slave herself, «is it possible that you can have known what suffering is except by name?»
Haydée turned her eyes towards Monte Cristo, who, making at the same time some imperceptible sign, murmured: «Εἰπέ—speak.»
«Nothing is ever so firmly impressed on the mind as the memory of our early childhood, and with the exception of the two scenes I have just described to you, all my earliest reminiscences are fraught with deepest sadness.»
«Speak, speak, signora,» said Albert, «I am listening with the most intense delight and interest to all you say.»
Haydée answered his remark with a melancholy smile. «You wish me, then, to relate the history of my past sorrows?»” source
