35 5 | Well, but then," continued Athos, speaking half to himself, "
36 5 | You confuse me," replied Athos, with his gentlemanly air; "

126 9 | affair is not bad," said Athos, after having tasted like

145 10 | d'Artagnan; "we are near Athos's door. Yes, here it is." ~"
146 10 | here it is." ~"Who is this Athos?" ~"One of my friends." ~"
147 10 | d'Artagnan had foreseen, Athos was not within. He took
148 11 | Germain, in company with Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, to
149 11 | Rue des Fossoyeurs. ~"Poor Athos!" said he; "he will never
150 11 | been there. A woman with Athos! After all," continued d'

152 11 | is arrested." ~"Arrested! Athos arrested! What for?" ~"He
153 11 | to let me go.'" ~"Bravo, Athos! Noble heart!" murmured
154 13 | guards. The two guards led in Athos. ~"Monsieur d'Artagnan,"
155 13 | the commissary, addressing Athos, "declare all that passed

157 13 | That is my name," said Athos, quietly. ~"But you said
158 13 | justice." ~"Not at all," said Athos, calmly. ~"You are Monsieur
159 13 | curse her!" ~"Bah!" said Athos to the commissary, "if you
160 13 | designated by the same gesture Athos and Bonacieux, "Let them

182 16 | The drink-deadened eye of Athos flashed out, but only for
183 16 | hearts! Pierced hearts!" said Athos. ~"What do you say?" ~"I
184 16 | mistress." ~"Except you, Athos, who never had one." ~"That'
185 16 | one." ~"That's true," said Athos, after a moment's silence, "
186 16 | misfortune is laughable," said Athos, shrugging his shoulders; "
187 16 | what matters?" ~"Tell it, Athos, tell it." ~"Better if I
188 16 | Not a bad idea!" said Athos, emptying and refilling
189 16 | attention," said d'Artagnan. ~Athos collected himself, and in
190 16 | observe, not myself," said Athos, interrupting himself with
191 16 | Artagnan. ~"Wait," said Athos. "He took her to his chateau,

201 16 | it is exquisite," said Athos, cutting a slice, which
202 16 | none of them drink," said Athos, looking at him with pity, "
203 18 | greatly." ~"Do you know Athos?" ~"No." ~"Porthos?" ~"No." ~"
204 19 | Artagnan; "but you know Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and
205 19 | fifteen days, that is all--to Athos, whose wound still makes
