Ibought my experience dearly--particularly fair women. DArtagnan picked it up
and offered it to Lord deWinter. said he, addressing dArtagnan, dont

thesubject, I beg of you. Needless, said the Englishman; I am well furnished
withsuch playthings.
The Comtesse de--Monsieur Porthos, be generous!
He
therefore drew nearto the table and took the second glass. said Porthos,
drawing himself up proudly; how so? He had just passed bythe pavilion in which
ten years later Louis XIV was born.
Yes; and that reminds me that I have a
revenge to take.
HOLA, Mousqueton, seats, and order double the bottles!
Do you
wish to play the braggart with an unarmed man?
Athos did not leave his chamber;
he made up his mind not to takea single step to equip himself.
Thank him, then,
madame,if you have any affection for me.
Bonacieux, he could obtain
nointelligence of her. It is not for nothing we are but twenty years old,above
all if we were born at Tarbes. Porthos took advantage of this circumstance to
ogle thewomen. Athos threw a piece of money to the goatkeeper to withdraw.
DArtagnan felt the truth of this reproach. We have still fifteen days before
us, said he to his friends. said Porthos, drawing himself up proudly; how so?
