I believe the correct answer is: "Beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, about a hundred paces from the spot where the two friends sat looking and listening as they drank their wine, was the village of the Catalans."
In this excerpt from the novel “Count Monte Cristo”, written by Alexander Dumas, the quotation that best contributes to the setting of the narrative is:
