  5 3 |          auditors. "What! Six of his Eminence's Guards arrest six of his

 48 16|         Louvre; he was told that his Eminence awaited the orders of his
 49 17|           afterward to come upon his Eminence with some secret which the
 50 17|         terrible surprises which his Eminence was so skillful in getting

 52 17|              I--I will appeal to his Eminence." ~At once Mme. Bonacieux
 53 20|   acknowledged no other king but his Eminence. Porthos called him drunk,

 60 25|               All this savors of his Eminence, a league off." ~"But what

 62 25|            Tell your master that his Eminence is very well disposed toward
 63 26|          known, the vengeance of his Eminence was terrible. How he had
 64 29|             quarrel with four of his Eminence's Guards or with eight Englishmen,
 65 31|        launched into a eulogy of his Eminence, and said that he should

 70 39|          similar invitation from his Eminence. I neglected it, and on
 71 39|              he would learn what his Eminence had to say to him. Nothing

 73 39|         Artagnan knew that while his Eminence was terrible to his enemies,
 74 40|             the good pleasure of his Eminence, without too much assurance,
 75 40|        letter was lost," replied his Eminence; "yes, I know that. But
 76 40|          incurred disgrace with your Eminence." ~"How could that be, monsieur?
 77 40|             Artagnan," continued his Eminence; "you are prudent, which

 90 43|             the honor to inform your Eminence of what has happened; for
 91 43|              to prevent him, as your Eminence may see, from mounting to
 92 43|            assault tomorrow, if your Eminence orders an escalade." ~"But
 93 43|              honor of informing your Eminence that these men were drunk." ~"
 94 43|         Musketeers passed behind his Eminence, who again enveloped his
