   7 1 |        young man." ~"He is better," said the host, "he fainted quite
   8 1 |             quite away." ~"Indeed!" said the gentleman. ~"But before
   9 1 |             later period." ~"Then," said the stranger coolly, "he
  10 1 |            he struck his pocket and said, 'We shall see what Monsieur
  11 1 |              Monsieur de Treville?" said the stranger, becoming attentive, "
  12 1 |            a great design. ~"Host," said he, "could you not contrive
  13 1 |           then." ~"What the devil!" said the host to himself. "Can
  14 1 |        Eminence, then, orders me--" said the lady. ~"To return instantly
  15 1 |            I presume?" ~"Remember," said Milady, seeing the stranger
  16 1 |          time. ~"Ah, it's all one," said the host; "I have lost two
  17 1 |            just. ~"But, after all," said he, lowering the point of

  20 2 |               What would you have?" said the Musketeer. "This fashion
  21 2 |          about in the same manner," said another Musketeer, "that
  22 2 |                 It's true, though," said Porthos; "and the proof
  23 2 |            Is it not true, Aramis?" said Porthos, turning toward
  24 2 |         continued to admire it, but said no more about it; and with
  25 2 |            is." ~"A ninny, indeed!" said Porthos; "but is the matter
  26 2 |              you knew it, Porthos," said Aramis. "I told you of it
  27 2 |        sooner or later." ~"Sooner." said Aramis. ~"He only waits
  28 2 |          hangs behind his uniform," said another Musketeer. ~"What
  29 2 |           that subject, gentlemen," said Porthos; "thank God the
  30 3 |           Do you know what the king said to me," cried he, "and that
  31 3 |       without had heard, as we have said, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis

  37 3 |             your father very much," said he. "What can I do for the
  38 3 |           not my own." ~"Monsieur," said d'Artagnan, "on quitting
  39 3 |           piercing that it might be said he wished to read the thoughts
  40 3 |              your father, as I have said, I will do something for

  43 3 |          This is all very strange," said M. de Treville, after meditating
  44 3 |           him." ~"In the meantime," said Treville, "seek him not--
  45 3 |             try him." ~"My friend," said he, slowly, "I wish, as
  46 3 |             done to you." ~Treville said to himself: "If the cardinal

  48 3 |             gentleman?" ~"No, sir," said d'Artagnan; "and I will
  49 4 |        rather a howl. ~"Excuse me," said d'Artagnan, endeavoring
  50 4 |                You are in a hurry?" said the Musketeer, as pale as
  51 4 |           doing it intentionally, I said 'Excuse me.' It appears
  52 4 |             calls me." ~"Monsieur," said Athos, letting him go, "
  53 4 |        short. ~"MORBLEU, monsieur!" said he, "however far I may come,
  54 4 |            I warn you." ~"Perhaps," said Athos. ~"Ah! If I were not
  55 4 |             running after someone," said d'Artagnan. ~"Monsieur Man-in-a-hurry,
  56 4 |         this manner." ~"Excuse me," said d'Artagnan, reappearing
  57 4 |           to his anger, "Monsieur," said he, "you stand a chance
  58 4 |               Chastised, Monsieur!" said d'Artagnan, "the expression
  59 4 |           pardoned me, if I had not said anything to him about that

  61 4 |           are deceived, gentlemen," said he, "this handkerchief is

  63 4 |             with this gallant man," said d'Artagnan to himself, having
  64 4 |       attention to him, "Monsieur," said he, "you will excuse me,
  65 4 |         endeavoring to mortify me," said d'Artagnan, in whom the

  67 4 |    awkwardly let it fall?" ~"I have said, monsieur, and I repeat,
  68 5 |            the ground. ~"Monsieur," said Athos, "I have engaged two
  69 5 |      seconds on my part, monsieur," said d'Artagnan; "for having
  70 5 |          You have truly, monsieur," said d'Artagnan, bowing again, "
  71 5 |           If you would permit me--" said d'Artagnan, with timidity. ~"
  72 5 |      courage. ~"PARDIEU, monsieur!" said Athos, "that's a proposition

  74 5 |           or Pau--" ~"From Tarbes," said d'Artagnan. ~"It is probable
  75 5 |      ignorant of this little fact," said Athos. ~"My faith!" replied
  76 5 |  relinquished his cloak. ~"Ah, ah!" said he, "what does this mean?" ~"
  77 5 |            am going to fight with," said Athos, pointing to d'Artagnan
  78 5 |            am also going to fight," said Porthos. ~"But not before
  79 5 |         fight with this gentleman," said Aramis, coming in his turn
  80 5 |             not until two o'clock," said d'Artagnan, with the same
  81 5 |           of d'Artagnan. ~"Indeed?" said Athos. ~"Yes; a passage
  82 5 |          which we could not agree," said the Gascon. ~"Decidedly,
  83 5 |          are assembled, gentlemen," said d'Artagnan, "permit me to
  84 5 |          understand me, gentlemen," said d'Artagnan, throwing up
  85 5 |           ardor. ~"It is very hot," said Athos, drawing his sword
  86 5 |          what they say is very well said, and quite worthy of two
  87 5 |         When you please, monsieur," said Athos, putting himself on

  89 5 |           gentlemen of the Guards," said Athos, full of rancor, for
  90 5 |          yourselves." ~"Gentlemen," said Jussac, "it is with great
  91 5 |            follow us." ~"Monsieur," said Aramis, parodying Jussac, "
  92 5 |             charge upon you, then," said he, "if you disobey." ~"
  93 5 |            There are five of them," said Athos, half aloud, "and
  94 5 |           his friends, "Gentlemen," said he, "allow me to correct
  95 5 |           words, if you please. You said you were but three, but
  96 5 |             you are not one of us," said Porthos. ~"That's true,"
  97 5 |            you are a brave fellow," said Athos, pressing the young
  98 5 |            replied Jussac. ~"Well," said Porthos to Aramis, "we must

 100 5 |             it will not be the less said we were four men." ~"Yes,
 101 5 |                 Yes, but to yield!" said Porthos. ~"That IS difficult,"
 102 5 | irresolution. ~"Try me, gentlemen," said he, "and I swear to you
 103 5 |             name, my brave fellow?" said Athos. ~"d'Artagnan, monsieur." ~"
 104 5 |             It is done, gentlemen," said Athos. ~"And what is your
 105 5 |             Jussac was, as was then said, a fine blade, and had had

 110 6 |           to Monsieur de Treville," said the king; "listen to him!
 111 6 |              then, monsieur, wait," said the king; "I will not detain
 112 6 |           winnings, "La Vieuville," said he, "take my place; I must
 113 6 |            incline me to think so," said the king. "There is no doubt
 114 6 |                Yes, Treville, yes," said the king, in a melancholy
 115 6 |         Artagnan." ~"That is true," said the king; "but never mind,
 116 6 |            little gentleman! I have said what I have said." ~"And
 117 6 |             I have said what I have said." ~"And as since that which
 118 6 |           since that which you have said is too clear to require
 119 6 |          then, Monsieur Bernajoux," said d'Artagnan, tranquilly, "
 120 6 |           the way." ~"That's true," said the Guardsman, astonished
 121 6 |          that the street was empty, said to his adversary, "My faith!
 122 6 |            best. On guard!" ~"But," said he whom d'Artagnan thus
 123 6 |            at once, and, as we have said, in a very bad state. ~Excitement

 126 6 |            than usual. ~"Monsieur," said M. de Treville, "we fancy
 127 6 |        reasonable a man, monsieur!" said Treville, "not to accept
 128 6 |              Matters go but badly," said Athos, smiling; "and we
 129 6 |             Wait here ten minutes," said M. de Treville; "and if
 130 6 |              Against calumniators," said M. de Treville. ~"Ah! This
 131 6 |            probably refers to God," said M. de Treville; "for I know
 132 6 |         Certainly." ~"La Chesnaye," said the king. "La Chesnaye!" ~
 133 6 |           the call. ~"La Chesnaye," said the king, "let someone go
 134 6 |             straight up to him, and said: "Monsieur de Treville,
 135 6 |                 Monsieur the Duke," said M. de Treville, "I was so
 136 6 |            in France of whom may be said, without disappointment,
 137 6 |         disappointment, what I have said of you." ~"That's well said,"
 138 6 |         said of you." ~"That's well said," cried the king, who had
 139 6 |              Thanks, sire, thanks," said the duke; "but your Majesty
 140 6 |           Ah! You have heard what I said? So much the better, Duke,
 141 6 |          Duke, so much the better," said the king, advancing toward
 142 6 |                Come in, my braves," said the king, "come in; I am
 143 6 |       contrite and repentant! Hem!" said the king. "I place no confidence
 144 6 |                 Without reckoning," said Athos, "that if he had not
 145 6 |           king my father would have said. But at this sort of work,
 146 6 |             If your Majesty is so," said Treville, "we are." ~"Oh,

 151 7 |          his head and his hand, and said, "That is my abode!" But
 152 7 |             revealed itself. It was said Athos had met with great
 153 7 |           in all the good things he said of himself. ~With respect
 154 7 |            you, my dear companion," said he, "you speak of the baronesses,
 155 7 |            the present all that was said of their past, hoping for
 156 7 |           the company, to go, as he said, to consult a casuist with

 158 8 |            and who succeeded--as he said, by selling some theological
 159 8 |            wonders; but as Planchet said, "People do not eat at once
 160 8 |            a very brave young man," said the citizen; "and this reputation

 164 8 |            spy." ~"That is likely," said d'Artagnan; "but the man
 165 8 |             that is my name." ~"You said, then, by the word of Bonacieux.
 166 8 |          your landlord." ~"Ah, ah!" said d'Artagnan, half rising
 167 8 |            d'Artagnan. ~"A letter?" said the young man. ~"Which I
 168 8 |           of the Bastille." ~"Hum!" said d'Artagnan. "I have no greater
 169 8 |         lodging, about which I have said nothing--" ~"Yes, yes; you

 171 9 |             in them." ~"The Bible," said Aramis, "make our belief
 172 9 |             by a look. ~"Planchet," said d'Artagnan to his domestic,
 173 9 |           must use, and not abuse," said Aramis, sententiously. ~"
 174 9 |           sententiously. ~"I always said that d'Artagnan had the
 175 9 |          longest head of the four," said Athos, who, having uttered
 176 9 |              asked Porthos. ~"Yes," said Aramis, "impart it to us,
 177 9 |            Your affair is not bad," said Athos, after having tasted
 178 9 |        Beware, d'Artagnan, beware," said Aramis. "You grow a little
 179 9 |           reproach, I have heard it said that she does not love the
 180 9 |             Well, and by my faith," said Athos, "it must be acknowledged
 181 9 |        dresses as nobody else can," said Porthos. "I was at the Louvre
 182 9 |        Which would not prevent me," said d'Artagnan, "if I knew where
 183 9 |               Wait a minute, then," said Aramis. ~"What for?" demanded
 184 9 |            And now I am convinced," said d'Artagnan, "that this abduction
 185 9 |           Gascon is full of ideas," said Porthos, with admiration. ~"
 186 9 |             like to hear him talk," said Athos; "his dialect amuses
 187 9 |         this." ~"Listen to Aramis," said his three friends. ~"Yesterday
 188 9 |             very respectable lady," said Aramis. ~The three friends
 189 9 |             as mute as tombstones," said Athos. ~"I will continue,
 190 9 |                 The same, perhaps," said he. ~"Possibly," continued
 191 9 |     politest tone, 'Monsieur Duke,' said he to me, 'and you madame,'
 192 9 |         Hold your tongue, Porthos," said Athos; "you are insupportable." ~"'--
 193 9 |            took her for the queen!" said d'Artagnan. ~"Just so,"
 194 9 |       escapes him." ~"The fact is," said Porthos, "Aramis is of the
 195 9 |            wore an enormous cloak," said Aramis. ~"In the month of
 196 9 |          month of July? The devil!" said Porthos. "Is the doctor
 197 9 |                 I had a large hat," said Aramis. ~"Oh, good lord,"

 199 9 |     condition! Can you believe so?" said Porthos, protruding his
 200 9 |           is longsighted." ~"Well," said Porthos, "in the first place
 201 9 |        bargain." ~"That's useless," said d'Artagnan; "for I believe
 202 9 |           act as he thinks proper," said Athos. "He has, I repeat,
 203 9 |               You are a simpleton," said Athos. "Silence!" ~"But
 204 9 |             Come, gentlemen, come!" said d'Artagnan, aloud; "I have
 205 9 |           health, and you to mine?" said d'Artagnan, filling two
 206 9 |            will do me great honor," said the leader of the posse, "
 207 9 |           you have performed here," said Porthos, when the officer

 209 9 |              Well, I am in a maze," said Porthos; "do YOU approve
 210 9 |              PARBLEU! Indeed I do," said Athos; "I not only approve
 211 9 |                And now, gentlemen," said d'Artagnan, without stopping
 212 9 |            is it not?" ~"And yet--" said Porthos. ~"Hold out your
 213 9 |            retire to his own home," said d'Artagnan, as if he had
 214 10|             people in this manner," said d'Artagnan to himself. "
 215 10|            questions. ~"The devil!" said d'Artagnan to himself. "
 216 10|             tongue, stupid fellow," said d'Artagnan; and laying hold
 217 10|      Bonacieux, and was, as we have said, close to her, he saw on
 218 10|             world. ~"Ah, monsieur!" said she, "you have saved me;
 219 10|           to thank you." ~"Madame," said d'Artagnan, "I have only
 220 10|          What has he done, madame?" said d'Artagnan. "I believe that
 221 10|               And does he suspect," said Mme. Bonacieux, with some
 222 10|              tell you." ~"Besides," said d'Artagnan, "pardon me,
 223 10|            to answer you, I admit," said Mme. Bonacieux. "My intention
 224 10|            myself there." ~"But I," said d'Artagnan, "can go and
 225 10|                           Ah, bah!" said d'Artagnan; "you have at
 226 10|            give you this password," said she, "would you forget it
 227 10|          the faith of a gentleman!" said d'Artagnan, with an accent

 454 18|           own name?" ~"In my name," said Mme. Bonacieux, with great
 455 18|            instant. ~"She is gone," said he; "she must have returned
 456 18|            There is nobody within," said Bonacieux. ~"Never mind.
 457 18|          more." ~"On the contrary," said d'Artagnan, "we shall hear
 458 18|             there is nobody there?" said the stranger. ~"I will answer
 459 18|              I will answer for it," said Bonacieux. ~"And you think
 460 18|              Bonacieux. ~"Silence!" said d'Artagnan, taking her hand,
 461 18|              Bonacieux. ~"Silence!" said d'Artagnan, pressing her
 462 18|     stranger went out. ~"Infamous!" said Mme. Bonacieux, addressing
 463 18|            her husband. ~"Silence!" said d'Artagnan, pressing her
 464 18|           is your turn to get out," said Mme. Bonacieux. "Courage,
 465 19|            for me, my good friend?" said M. de Treville. ~'Yes, monsieur,"
 466 19|         Treville. ~'Yes, monsieur," said d'Artagnan, lowering his
 467 19|             concerns nothing less", said d'Artagnan, "than the honor,
 468 19|             to me?" ~"Because, as I said, without you I can do nothing;
 469 19|           you are right, monsieur," said d'Artagnan; "but you know
 470 19|       prosperous voyage. A PROPOS," said M. de Treville, calling
 471 19|           your tongue and take it!" said d'Artagnan. "And you, my
 472 19|        guess, at least." ~"Listen!" said Aramis. "Since you appear
 473 19|          them at Athos's residence, said "Let us go then," at the
 474 19|           not spoken of this lady?" said he. ~"To nobody in the world." ~"
 475 19|        which I have just received?" said the astonished Athos. ~My
 476 19|         Porthos entered. "PARDIEU!" said he, "here is a strange thing!
 477 19|           asking for it?" ~"Since," said d'Artagnan, "they have friends
 478 19|            it for them." ~"Ah, ah!" said Porthos, "it appears there'
 479 19|                Yes, we are going--" said Aramis. ~"To what country?"
 480 19|          don't know much about it," said Athos. "Ask d'Artagnan." ~"
 481 19|              To London, gentlemen," said d'Artagnan. ~"To London!"
 482 19|             I have none." ~"Nor I," said Aramis. ~"Nor I," said Athos. ~"
 483 19|              said Aramis. ~"Nor I," said Athos. ~"I have," replied
 484 19|           we do risk being killed," said Porthos, "at least I should
 485 19|            would be all the wiser," said Athos. ~"And yet," said
 486 19|             said Athos. ~"And yet," said Aramis, "I am somewhat of
 487 19|               d'Artagnan is right," said Athos; "here are our three
 488 19|         follow you." ~"And I also," said Porthos. ~"And I also,"
 489 19|             Porthos. ~"And I also," said Aramis. "And, indeed, I
 490 19|             gentlemen, be assured," said d'Artagnan. ~"And, now,
 491 19|         down the plan of campaign," said Porthos. "Where do we go
 492 19|            go first?" ~"To Calais," said d'Artagnan; "that is the
 493 19|           line to London." ~"Well," said Porthos, "this is my advice--" ~"
 494 19|          the Guards." ~"Gentlemen," said Athos, "my opinion is that
 495 19|            me to be impracticable," said d'Artagnan, "inasmuch as
 496 19|           carry the letter." ~"Well said," cried Aramis; "you don'
 497 19|                I agree to it, too," said Porthos, "if d'Artagnan
 498 19|             will execute." ~"Well," said d'Artagnan, "I decide that
