Athos uttered a groan, and let his head sink on his
hands.
The third, then, fell from the clouds, I suppose?
Iknow, because it is my office to know everything.
At sight of the mustaches and thenaked sword, the
poor devil perceived he had to deal with aman.
DArtagnan, on his part, had gained the summit of
all hiswishes.
DArtagnan, on his part, entered boldly at the
principalgate.
Yes, yes, to be sure, Kitty, said dArtagnan; be at
ease,my girl.
You know the interest we both take in this poor
littleMadame Bonacieux.
It is well understood that he did notbreathe a word
about the other.
Well, then, let us all fly, said Athos, and leave
nobodyhere but Planchet to bring us news. The safety of the horseman, youknow,
depends almost always upon the goodness of his horse. But you cant go out so, said
Kitty; you are naked.
Now, what would you say to anensigns commission in
my Guards, and a company after thecampaign? Athos made him a sign to go to
dArtagnans residence, andbring back some clothes. In spite of his habitual silence,
the poor lad this timefound his speech. Monseigneur is correctly informed, said
dArtagnan. Do you, perchance, think I set any great storeby life? She is capable of
anything or everything. Well, transfer it to me at the price it cost you? It was
thus Athos found at home resources which he did notexpect.
The third, then, fell from the clouds, I suppose?
La Houdiniere, CAPTAIN OF THE GUARDSThe devil! I understand, said Athos; but why not
Porthos?
She has lost a tooth, next to theeyetooth on the
left? Besides, you forget that I have aring likewise.
Thats true, said Athos; we must wait for
Aramis.
Suddenly Planchet entered, bringing two letters
fordArtagnan. Ah, my dear Athos, I am greatlyafraid I have drawn a terrible
vengeance on both of us!
Besides, you forget that I have aring likewise. You
gave de Wardes a meeting on Thursday last in this veryroom, did you not? Yes,
replied Porthos, it is the one that ought to havebeen sent to me at first.
