  7 2  |           what does he say?" asked Porthos, in a self-sufficient tone. ~"
  8 2  |             A ninny, indeed!" said Porthos; "but is the matter certain?" ~"
  9 2  |       Indeed?" ~"Why, you knew it, Porthos," said Aramis. "I told you

 23 3  |       cardinal! And why so?" asked Porthos, warmly. ~"Because he plainly

 25 3  |            smallpox, sir," replied Porthos, desirous of taking his
 26 3  |            great story to tell me, Porthos! Sick of the smallpox at

 62 5  |           Yes, but to yield!" said Porthos. ~"That IS difficult," replied
 63 5  |    monsieur." ~"Well, then, Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d'Artagnan,
 64 5  |        favorite of the cardinal's. Porthos had Bicarat, and Aramis

124 9  |         what is this about?" asked Porthos. ~"Yes," said Aramis, "impart
125 9  |          as nobody else can," said Porthos. "I was at the Louvre on

158 19 |         for them." ~"Ah, ah!" said Porthos, "it appears there's something
159 19 |            what country?" demanded Porthos. ~"My faith! I don't know
160 19 |      Artagnan. ~"To London!" cried Porthos; "and what the devil are

208 25 |         rapidly that when Monsieur Porthos came to the PARADE, he had
209 25 |           his throat; and Monsieur Porthos, finding himself at the
210 25 |           and learning that it was Porthos, and not d'Artagnan, he
211 25 |           all that I wish to know. Porthos's chamber is, you say, on

216 25 |           he entered the chamber. ~Porthos was in bed, and was playing
217 25 |           the sight of his friend, Porthos uttered a loud cry of joy;
218 25 |        PARDIEU! Is that you?" said Porthos to d'Artagnan. "You are
219 25 |           up as soon as I could." ~Porthos seemed to breathe more freely. ~"
220 25 |           happened to you, my dear Porthos?" continued d'Artagnan. ~"

225 25 |        bottles. ~"So, so," replied Porthos. "Only three or four days

232 25 |            seven or eight days, if Porthos were still at the Great
233 25 |          call for him on his way. ~Porthos replied that in all probability
234 25 |           having again recommended Porthos to the care of Mousqueton,
235 26 |       Artagnan had said nothing to Porthos of his wound or of his procurator'
236 26 |        made about that period, and Porthos, who had in addition to
237 27 |         once in his struggles with Porthos he had overcome the giant
238 27 |           Aramis sported and which Porthos pretended to understand.
239 27 |     attributed to play; for unlike Porthos, who accompanied the variations
240 27 |           related how he had found Porthos in bed with a strained knee,
241 27 |          of his friend; "here's to Porthos and Aramis! But you, d'Artagnan,
242 28 |            ponies while Aramis and Porthos caracole on their steeds." ~"

245 28 |           they set forward to join Porthos. ~They found him up, less

247 28 |            intended for you alone, Porthos?" said Aramis. ~"No," said
248 28 |           said Aramis. ~"No," said Porthos, "I expected some gentlemen
249 28 |           I some lamb chops," said Porthos. ~"And I a plain chicken,"
250 28 |        with a grimace of disgust. ~Porthos alone made no reply. ~"Yes,
251 28 |         Are we not eating a horse, Porthos? And perhaps his saddle,
252 28 |            kept the harness," said Porthos. ~"My faith," said Aramis, "
253 28 |             What could I do?" said Porthos. "This horse made my visitors
254 28 |        Artagnan. ~"Still," replied Porthos. "And, my faith, the governor
255 28 |            that is the word," said Porthos; "for the animal was worth
256 28 |      gentlemen," said Athos, "that Porthos has made the best bargain
257 28 |           the astonishment of poor Porthos; but when he was informed
258 28 |         benefited." ~"And I," said Porthos, "do you think my strain
259 28 |         master." ~"In short," said Porthos, "when all my expenses are
260 28 |          much we posses in all." ~"Porthos?" ~"Thirty crowns." ~"Aramis?" ~"
261 28 |       besides the harnesses," said Porthos. ~"But our troop horses?"
262 28 |           Let us dine, then," said Porthos; "it is getting cold." ~
263 28 |        This word PROCURATOR roused Porthos. "Stop," said he, "I have

265 29 |            expense of an outfit." ~Porthos continued to walk about

268 29 |    precautions to conceal himself, Porthos believed he had not been
269 29 |       Artagnan entered behind him. Porthos went and leaned against
270 29 |        church very full of people. Porthos took advantage of this circumstance
271 29 |          things were not seen, and Porthos was still the handsome Porthos. ~
272 29 |     Porthos was still the handsome Porthos. ~D'Artagnan observed, on
273 29 |           the pillar against which Porthos leaned, a sort of ripe beauty,
274 29 |            black hood. The eyes of Porthos were furtively cast upon
275 29 |       glance toward the inconstant Porthos; and then immediately the
276 29 |            immediately the eyes of Porthos wandered anxiously. It was

278 29 |            wanderings the looks of Porthos, and perceived that they
279 29 |    maid-servant. ~During this time Porthos played close. It was almost
280 29 |           turned round toward her. Porthos paid no attention. Nevertheless,
281 29 |       dreaded; a great effect upon Porthos, who thought her much prettier

283 29 |       likewise, by induction, that Porthos was taking his revenge for
284 29 |    responded to the gallantries of Porthos. There were only chimeras
285 29 |     advanced toward the holy font. Porthos went before her, and instead
286 29 |       thinking that it was for her Porthos had put himself to this

291 29 |   concentrated fury, "Eh, Monsieur Porthos, you don't offer me any
292 29 |         offer me any holy water?" ~Porthos, at the sound of that voice,
293 29 |         now gave the holy water." ~Porthos pretended to be confused. "
294 29 |           have seen." ~"Yes," said Porthos, "that is a duchess of my
295 29 |          of seeing me." ~"Monsieur Porthos," said the procurator's
296 29 |           Certainly, madame," said Porthos, winking to himself, as
297 29 |           cast a passing glance at Porthos, and beheld this triumphant
298 29 |           equipped in good time!" ~Porthos, yielding to the pressure
299 29 |            at play. ~"Ah, Monsieur Porthos," cried the procurator's
300 29 |            hear her, "ah, Monsieur Porthos, you are a great conqueror,
301 29 |       appears!" ~"I, madame?" said Porthos, drawing himself up proudly; "
302 29 |            you are deceived," said Porthos; "she is simply a duchess." ~"
303 29 |         sat waiting on his seat?" ~Porthos had seen neither the footman

306 29 |           sigh. ~"Well," responded Porthos, "you may imagine, with
307 29 |           it seems to me," replied Porthos; "for I, madame, I may say
308 29 |           to you." ~"But, Monsieur Porthos," murmured the procurator'

311 29 |            shed a tear. ~"Monsieur Porthos," said she, "I can assure
312 29 |            Fie, madame, fie!" said Porthos, as if disgusted. "Let us

317 29 |           Please to know, Monsieur Porthos," said she, "that my strongbox,

322 29 |        still?" ~"Ah, madame," said Porthos, in the most melancholy
323 29 |         whispers me so," continued Porthos, becoming more and more
324 29 |      necessary for my departure." ~Porthos observed a last struggle

333 30 |       passed at the church between Porthos and the procurator's wife,
334 30 | immediately sent their lackeys for Porthos and Aramis, and on their
335 30 |    acquainted with the situation. ~Porthos drew his sword from the

339 31 |        then surrendered his sword, Porthos took him up in his arms
340 31 |           three Musketeers, and as Porthos's adversary was already
341 31 |            about but the dead. ~As Porthos and Aramis were undressing

343 31 |        quite destitute struck even Porthos; and this French generosity,

349 32 |    Monsieur Porthos!" ~The name of Porthos produced its effect upon
350 32 |            who began to laugh; but Porthos turned sharply round, and
351 32 |           another, did not inspire Porthos favorably. Words might be

356 32 |          procurator, maliciously. ~Porthos did not feel the ridicule
357 32 |          had, since the arrival of Porthos, frequently cast his eyes
358 32 |          in front of his oak desk. Porthos comprehended that this chest,
359 32 |           chest and fixing it upon Porthos, he contented himself with
360 32 |      Madame Coquenard?" ~This time Porthos received the blow right

366 32 |         unclosed with a creak, and Porthos perceived through the half-open
367 32 |         age. ~"The devil!" thought Porthos, "this is poor work. I respect
368 32 |       herself, raised the wing for Porthos, and then returned the bird

384 32 |          Oh, of many things!" said Porthos. "The Musketeers are, as
385 32 |        they may amount to--", said Porthos, who preferred discussing

389 32 |         say!" ~"Yes, dear Monsieur Porthos. Thus, for instance, don'
390 32 |        just suit you." ~"Ah!" said Porthos, brightening, "that's well
