 1 6 |         fellows to be hanged." ~"No, sire," replied Treville, who
 2 6 |           and by we will see." ~"Ah, sire; it is because I confide
 3 6 |             your Musketeers?" ~"Yes, sire, as they always do." ~"And
 4 6 |                I do not accuse them, sire; but I leave your Majesty
 5 6 |              I will not swear to it, sire. You know how difficult
 6 6 |             youth with them?" ~"Yes, sire, and one wounded man; so
 7 6 |            complete victory!" ~"Yes, sire; as complete as that of
 8 6 |              himself?" ~"d'Artagnan, sire; he is the son of one of
 9 6 |             his hand upon his hip. ~"Sire," resumed Treville, "as
10 6 |           attacked?" ~"That is true, sire; there can be no more doubt
11 6 |             in the kingdom?" ~"Well, sire, for once he found his master." ~"
12 6 |           the cardinal know." ~"Yes, sire." ~"You understand, Treville--
13 6 |                  But this encounter, sire, is quite out of the ordinary
14 6 |         before yesterday." ~"Indeed, sire, I wholly comprehend your
15 6 |          tell me justice is done." ~"Sire," replied M. de Treville,
16 6 |            told you this fine story, sire?" asked Treville, quietly. ~"
17 6 |        Eminence is not his holiness, sire." ~"What do you mean by
18 6 |          that you accuse him!" ~"No, sire, but I say that he deceives
19 6 |             that?" ~"I might answer, sire, that he is too deeply interested
20 6 |       witness; but so far from that, sire, I know the duke to be a
21 6 |              but upon one condition, sire." ~"What?" ~"It is that
22 6 |        Tremouille shall say?" ~"Yes, sire." ~"You will accept his
23 6 |        gentleman." ~"Tomorrow, then, sire?" ~"Tomorrow, monsieur." ~"
24 6 |            my Musketeers are guilty, sire, the guilty shall be placed
25 6 |                              Thanks, sire, thanks," said the duke; "
26 6 |          done so?" ~"They are below, sire, and with your permission
27 6 |              too many!" ~"Therefore, sire, your Majesty sees that
28 6 |        always poor, are they not?" ~"Sire, I can assert that they
29 6 |           upon it, may I not?" ~"Oh, sire!" cried the four companions,
30 15|              rather your Musketeers, sire, of irreproachable conduct,
31 15|              not know it?" ~"Indeed, sire, I did not. The house may
32 15|          Artagnan, for I can affirm, sire, if I can believe what he
33 15|            next day, Bernajoux. Yes, sire, yes, it is the same; and
34 15|              done?" said the king. ~"Sire," replied Treville, without
35 15|            Be so kind as to reflect, sire," said the cardinal. "If
36 15|              Order it as you please, sire; you possess the right of
37 15|             you are about to accord, sire, it is justice." ~"And he
38 15|                said the king. ~"Yes, sire, in solitary confinement,
39 15|              perfect harmony reigns, sire, between the leaders and
40 15|         pleases, converse seriously. Sire, Buckingham has been in
41 16|               and the Condes." ~"Oh, sire, what an idea! The queen
42 16|                But how to take them, sire? It seems to me that it
43 16|             A Florentine adventurer, sire, and that was all; while
44 16|              Charles I! Think of it, sire! What a scandal! And if
45 16|            lose sight of him?" ~"No, sire." ~"Where did he lodge?" ~"
46 16|            high a sense of her duty, sire." ~"But they have corresponded;
47 16|          must have those letters!" ~"Sire, notwithstanding--" ~"Monsieur
48 16|          Chevreuse and the queen?" ~"Sire," replied the cardinal,
49 16|              always happy and proud, sire, to sacrifice myself to
50 16|         saying, "But why this visit, sire? What can the chancellor
51 16|             In your place, in truth, sire, I should yield to such
52 16|             say you, Duke?" ~"I say, sire, that my health is sinking
53 16|              happier for it at home, sire, and I do not doubt you
54 16|         herself." ~"What do you say, sire? God forbid that the queen
55 16|              has always believed me, sire, to be her enemy; although
56 16|              my anger." ~"It is you, sire, who have now incurred hers.
57 16|             enemy, but is not yours, sire; on the contrary, she is
58 16| irreproachable wife. Allow me, then, sire, to intercede for her with
59 16|           first." ~"On the contrary, sire, set the example. You have
60 16|            said the king. "Never!" ~"Sire, I entreat you to do so." ~"
61 16|             indulgent toward her." ~"Sire," said the cardinal, "leave
62 16|           your calculations?" ~"Yes, sire. Today is the twentieth
63 16|           cardinal added, "A PROPOS, sire, do not forget to tell her
64 17|           these vague attacks, "but, sire, you do not tell me all
65 17|            You hear, madame?" ~"Yes, sire, I hear," stammered the
66 17|               madame--" ~"It was he, sire, it was he!" ~"Well, and
67 17|              in this request?" ~"No, sire." ~"Then you will appear?" ~"
68 17|             you will appear?" ~"Yes, sire." ~"That is well," said
69 22|          smile on his countenance. ~"Sire," replied the queen, with
70 22|            nothing of what passed. ~"Sire," said the queen, "I can
71 22|              much doubt, count them, sire, and if you only find ten,
72 22|       cardinal had given him. ~"How, sire?" cried the young queen,
73 22|           severe tone. ~"This means, sire," replied the cardinal, "
