1008 30 |            by two powerful horses. d'Artagnan therefore returned to the
1009 30 |          stables--one for himself, d'Artagnan, and one for Planchet--and
1010 30 |           had placed his stable at d'Artagnan's service. ~Planchet proceeded

1015 30 |              demanded Athos. ~Then d'Artagnan described the meeting which
1016 30 |               I? not at all!" said d'Artagnan. "I am only curious to unravel
1017 30 |            you are mistaken," said d'Artagnan; "I love my poor Constance
1018 30 |      yourself with Milady, my dear d'Artagnan; I wish you may with all
1019 30 |              Hear me, Athos," said d'Artagnan. "Instead of shutting yourself
1020 30 |              afoot." ~"Well," said d'Artagnan, smiling at the misanthropy
1021 30 |              he had just brought. ~D'Artagnan and Planchet mounted, and

1026 30 |                said he, addressing d'Artagnan, "don't you remember that
1027 30 |      blinking yonder?" ~"No," said d'Artagnan, "and yet I am certain it

1032 30 |             the terrace upon which d'Artagnan had perceived Lubin. ~D'
1033 30 |              had perceived Lubin. ~D'Artagnan followed the soubrette with

1036 30 |         young man. ~"For me?" said d'Artagnan; "are you sure of that?" ~"
1037 30 |               is that SOUBRETTE!" ~D'Artagnan opened the letter, and read

1074 31 |              d'Artagnan to drink. ~D'Artagnan knew it was considered disobliging
1075 31 |              little SOUBRETTE whom d'Artagnan had already observed then
1076 31 |            who thereupon requested d'Artagnan's permission to retire,
1077 31 |             to obtain his pardon. ~D'Artagnan exchanged a shake of the

1079 31 |             marry. All this showed d'Artagnan that there was a veil which

1083 31 |            was granted instantly. ~D'Artagnan came again on the morrow,

1098 33 |             at all." ~"HEIN!" said d'Artagnan, "can she have charged you

1113 33 |       communication remained open, d'Artagnan could hear Milady for some
1114 33 |        enjoyment of his fortune." ~D'Artagnan shuddered to the marrow
1115 33 |              cold sweat broke from d'Artagnan's brow. Why, this woman
1116 33 |            from that poor Monsieur d'Artagnan." ~"Go to bed, mademoiselle,"

1120 33 |           reason I won't go," said d'Artagnan. ~"What!" said Kitty, blushing. ~"
1121 33 |             vengeance upon Milady. D'Artagnan believed it right to say
1122 33 |         swore upon the crucifix to d'Artagnan that she was entirely ignorant
1123 33 |            about it; but this time d'Artagnan was better informed than
1124 33 |        killed her brother-in-law. ~D'Artagnan came the next day to Milady'
1125 33 |          girl ventured a glance at d'Artagnan which said, "See how I suffer
1126 33 |            to the soft speeches of d'Artagnan, and even gave him her hand
1127 33 |             him her hand to kiss. ~D'Artagnan departed, scarcely knowing
1128 33 |              take a third letter. ~D'Artagnan made Kitty promise to bring
1129 33 |            as on the night before. D'Artagnan concealed himself in his

1134 33 |             will throw upon her." ~D'Artagnan took a pen and wrote: ~Madame,
1135 33 |            they do today. Besides, d'Artagnan from her own admission knew
1136 33 |            as the reader pleases. ~D'Artagnan's plan was very simple.
1137 33 |          compelled to leave Paris; d'Artagnan had no time for a prolonged

1148 34 |            in a fair way," replied d'Artagnan; "and as to Aramis to tell
1149 34 |      certainly the most amusing." ~D'Artagnan was on the point of telling
1150 34 |   inquisitive of any man on earth, d'Artagnan's confidence stopped there.
1151 34 |           that he came to announce d'Artagnan, who, curious to know who

1154 34 |           You are mistaken, friend d'Artagnan," said Aramis, always on

1162 34 |          well believe it," replied d'Artagnan, "and that was why I got
1163 34 |          taking back to him?" said d'Artagnan. ~"Exactly!" replied Mousqueton. "

1167 35 |       arrived. ~As was his custom, d'Artagnan presented himself at Milady'
1168 35 |           Milady's condescension. ~D'Artagnan looked at the two women,

1170 35 |        reseated herself, smiled at d'Artagnan with an air which said, "
1171 35 |           you would only depart." ~D'Artagnan rose and took his hat; Milady

1178 35 |           was not long. Hardly had d'Artagnan seen, ~through a crevice
1179 35 |           Milady. ~"It is I," said d'Artagnan in a subdued voice, "I,
1180 35 |              you." ~At this appeal d'Artagnan drew Kitty quietly away,

1187 35 |           cruelly!" ~"PESTE!" said d'Artagnan to himself, "the moment
1188 35 |              It took some time for d'Artagnan to resume this little dialogue;

1195 35 |              know this ring?" said d'Artagnan. ~"I thought I did," replied
1196 35 |         mistaken." And he returned d'Artagnan the ring without, however,
1197 35 |             to look at it. ~"Pray, d'Artagnan," said Athos, after a minute, "
1198 35 |           scratched by accident." ~D'Artagnan took off the ring, giving

1200 35 |           And you--sold it?" asked d'Artagnan, hesitatingly. ~"No," replied

1211 36 |             the preceding evening. d'Artagnan smiled; this jealous anger
1212 36 |         Kitty presented herself at d'Artagnan's, she was no longer joyous
1213 36 |            contrary sad as death. ~D'Artagnan asked the poor girl what
1214 36 |             it was addressed to M. d'Artagnan, and not to M. de Wardes. ~
1215 36 |          read as follows: ~Dear M. d'Artagnan, It is wrong thus to neglect
1216 36 |             all very simple," said d'Artagnan; "I expected this letter.

1221 36 |             The servant went out. ~D'Artagnan cast an inquiring glance
1222 36 |        devoured her for two days. ~D'Artagnan approached her with his

1224 36 |           contrary, stay, Monsieur d'Artagnan; your agreeable company
1225 36 |            me." ~"Oh, oh!" thought d'Artagnan. "She has never been so
1226 36 |            vermillion to her lips. D'Artagnan was again in the presence

1228 36 |           communicative. She asked d'Artagnan if he had a mistress. ~"
1229 36 |            mistress. ~"Alas!" said d'Artagnan, with the most sentimental
1230 36 |             not affright me," said d'Artagnan. "I shrink before nothing
1231 36 |                The devil!" thought d'Artagnan. "The note is changed. Is
1232 36 |           gave me for de Wardes?" ~D'Artagnan rapidly drew his seat nearer
1233 36 |             For everything," cried d'Artagnan, who knew beforehand that
1234 36 |             her armchair nearer to d'Artagnan's chair. ~"I am all attention,
1235 36 |                 You, madame!" said d'Artagnan, affecting surprise; "is
1236 36 |             you as an auxiliary?" ~D'Artagnan at once perceived the ground
1237 36 |         stopped. ~"Well?" demanded d'Artagnan. ~     ~ ~ ~ ~    "Well,"
1238 36 |             with happiness," cried d'Artagnan, throwing himself on his
1239 36 |             dangerous woman," said d'Artagnan, likewise to himself, "after
1240 36 |             you wish me to kill." ~D'Artagnan lifted up his head. ~"I
1241 36 |            me, then, dear Monsieur d'Artagnan" said Milady. ~"I could
1242 36 |         reply that I desire," said d'Artagnan, "the only one worthy of
1243 36 |              smiling. ~"Ah," cried d'Artagnan, really carried away by
1244 36 |              at your orders," said d'Artagnan. ~"Quite certain?" said
1245 36 |            of my friends?" replied d'Artagnan, affecting hesitation in

1247 36 |         nothing else in me?" asked d'Artagnan. ~"I love you also, YOU!"
1248 36 |             The warm pressure made d'Artagnan tremble, as if by the touch
1249 36 |          were cold; it appeared to d'Artagnan that he had embraced a statue. ~
1250 36 |          Wardes; I know it," cried d'Artagnan. ~"And how do you know it?"
1251 36 |              bottom of his heart. ~D'Artagnan felt he had allowed himself
1252 36 |            How do I know it?" said d'Artagnan. ~"Yes." ~"I know it because
1253 36 |              to the very bottom of d'Artagnan's heart. ~"Well?" continued
1254 36 |              this wretch," replied d'Artagnan, giving himself the airs
1255 36 |            be very gracious toward d'Artagnan. ~Besides, she had a thousand
1256 36 |       answered by an expression of d'Artagnan's. "Tomorrow," said he, "
1257 36 |           eleven o'clock," thought d'Artagnan; "that's a settled custom." ~
1258 37 |        Milady's Secret~ ~ ~ ~ ~    D'Artagnan left the hotel instead of
1259 37 |             in the matter was that d'Artagnan loved Milady like a madman,
1260 37 |              at all. In an instant d'Artagnan perceived that the best
1261 37 |       irresolution in the heart of d'Artagnan. He recalled to his mind
1262 37 |         watch, had heard the noise d'Artagnan had made, and opening the
1263 37 |         monstrous effrontery, that d'Artagnan could scarcely believe what
1264 37 |   machination, and above all, that d'Artagnan would also be lost to her
1265 37 |              this last sacrifice. ~D'Artagnan, on his part, had gained
1266 37 |             for forgetfulness that d'Artagnan had, was the first to return
1267 37 |         arranged in his mind. ~But d'Artagnan, whose ideas had taken quite
1268 37 |        became more pressing. ~Then d'Artagnan, who had never seriously
1269 37 |         spirit and her iron will. ~D'Artagnan fancied himself very cunning
1270 37 |              afraid, dear Monsieur d'Artagnan?" ~"You cannot think so,
1271 37 |            so, dear love!" replied d'Artagnan; "but now, suppose this
1272 37 |             you condemn him!" said d'Artagnan, in so firm a tone that
1273 37 |              seemed to Milady, but d'Artagnan believed it to be hardly
1274 37 |          with its paleness. Seeing d'Artagnan about to leave her, Milady
1275 37 |              am quite ready," said d'Artagnan; "but in the first place
1276 37 |          much as you say," replied d'Artagnan, "do you not entertain a
1277 37 |          prefer a method," resumed d'Artagnan, "which would equally avenge
1278 37 |          mean." ~And she looked at d'Artagnan, who embraced her tenderly,
1279 37 |              a man of honor," said d'Artagnan, determined to come to an
1280 37 |           pardon me?" ~"Perhaps." ~D'Artagnan tried with his sweetest
1281 37 |              so unchanged, that if d'Artagnan had not been in such perfect
1282 37 |           not lie, my angel," said d'Artagnan, smiling; "that would be
1283 37 |         Wardes of Thursday and the d'Artagnan of today are the same person." ~
1284 37 |         trembling, Milady repulsed d'Artagnan's attempted embrace by a
1285 37 |            almost broad daylight. ~D'Artagnan detained her by her night
1286 37 |        shoulders, round and white, d'Artagnan recognized, with inexpressible
1287 37 |     imprinted. ~"Great God!" cried d'Artagnan, loosing his hold of her
1288 37 |          herself with a bound upon d'Artagnan. ~Although the young man
1289 37 |          sword with her hands; but d'Artagnan kept it free from her grasp,
1290 37 |             resemblance to a duel, d'Artagnan began to recover himself
1291 37 |                howled Milady. ~But d'Artagnan, still keeping on the defensive,
1292 37 |             Kitty opened the door. D'Artagnan, who had unceasingly maneuvered
1293 37 |         Quick, Kitty, quick!" said d'Artagnan, in a low voice, as soon
1294 37 |                 That's true," said d'Artagnan, then first thinking of
1295 38 |              Equipment~ ~ ~ ~ ~    D'Artagnan was so completely bewildered
1296 38 |            this noisy summons, and d'Artagnan sprang with such violence
1297 38 |        business here, you hussy?" ~D'Artagnan threw off his hood, and
1298 38 |          said the young man; "I am d'Artagnan; don't you know me? Where
1299 38 |           master?" ~"You, Monsieur d'Artagnan!" cried Grimaud, "impossible." ~"
1300 38 |              himself with pointing d'Artagnan out to his master with his
1301 38 |           laugh, my friend!" cried d'Artagnan; "for heaven's sake, don'
1302 38 |          hour?" ~"Well, well!" and d'Artagnan rushed into Athos's chamber. ~"
1303 38 |        uneasiness!" ~"Athos," said d'Artagnan, getting rid of his female
1304 38 |          Musketeer to his friend. ~D'Artagnan donned the robe as quickly
1305 38 |            Athos. ~"Well," replied d'Artagnan, bending his mouth to Athos'
1306 38 |         heart. ~"Let us see," said d'Artagnan. "Are you SURE that the
1307 38 |            so stifled a voice that d'Artagnan scarcely heard him. ~"Yes,
1308 38 | brother-in-law," ~"I will see her, d'Artagnan!" ~"Beware, Athos, beware.
1309 38 |         vengeance on both of us!" ~D'Artagnan then related all--the mad
1310 38 |                 Fortunately," said d'Artagnan, "all this will be only

1318 38 |                That's Kitty!" said d'Artagnan to himself, and darted into

1321 38 |            husband's clerks," said d'Artagnan, laughing. "Besides, Kitty
1322 38 |                 And I, also," said d'Artagnan, "I also. I shall always
1323 38 |             You, to be sure!" said d'Artagnan, pressing Athos's hand. "
1324 38 |              dear girl," continued d'Artagnan, "she is the wife of that
1325 38 |           rendering you a service, d'Artagnan?" ~"I shall be grateful
1326 38 |          maid. If you can, my dear d'Artagnan, answer for Mademoiselle-" ~"
1327 38 |           now, my dear girl," said d'Artagnan, "you know that it is not
1328 38 |          oaths!" said Athos, while d'Artagnan went to conduct Kitty downstairs. ~
1329 38 |       returned home, and Athos and d'Artagnan busied themselves about
1330 38 |        pistoles for it. ~Athos and d'Artagnan, with the activity of two
1331 38 |             ask for any abatement. D'Artagnan would have remonstrated
1332 38 |        shoulder, with a smile, and d'Artagnan understood that it was all
1333 38 |         bought for less; but while d'Artagnan was discussing the price
1334 38 |        hundred and fifty pistoles. d'Artagnan offered his friend a part
1335 38 |          tell him the ring is his, d'Artagnan, and bring back the two
1336 38 |            to make sacrifices. Go, d'Artagnan, go; Grimaud will accompany
1337 38 |             A half hour afterward, d'Artagnan returned with the two thousand
1338 39 |           bringing two letters for d'Artagnan. ~The one was a little billet,
1339 39 |         little letter the heart of d'Artagnan bounded, for he believed

1345 39 |          Athos. ~"Gentlemen," said d'Artagnan, "it is half past four,
1346 39 |            For my part, I declare, d'Artagnan, I think it of much more
1347 39 |         slipped into your bosom." ~D'Artagnan blushed. ~"Well," said he, "
1348 39 |          Eminence's commands," and d'Artagnan unsealed the letter and
1349 39 |              letter and read, ~"M. d'Artagnan, of the king's Guards, company
1350 39 |         attending the first," said d'Artagnan. "One is for seven o'clock,

1352 39 |           they put me there," said d'Artagnan. ~"To be sure we will,"
1353 39 |             I have no horse," said d'Artagnan; "but that is of no consequence,
1354 39 |             have you, then?" asked d'Artagnan. ~"Three," replied Aramis,

1360 39 |              my dear friend," said d'Artagnan, taking the sum from his

1366 39 |            them a hundred gapers. ~D'Artagnan profited by the circumstance

1368 39 |        presentiment instantly told d'Artagnan that this carriage contained

1378 39 |           watch near an entrance. ~D'Artagnan, on his part, entered boldly
1379 39 |         tools of his Eminence; and d'Artagnan knew that while his Eminence

1381 39 |             the king without will. d'Artagnan, my friend, you are brave,
1382 39 |             Guards, who recognized d'Artagnan, and knowing that it was
1383 39 |             This smile appeared to d'Artagnan to be of bad augury. Only,
1384 39 |        returned and made a sign to d'Artagnan to follow him. It appeared
1385 39 |           without speaking a word. D'Artagnan remained standing and examined
1386 39 |            and examined this man. ~D'Artagnan at first believed that he
1387 39 |              and raised his head. ~D'Artagnan recognized the cardinal. ~     ~ ~ ~ ~
1388 40 |         Cardinal de Richelieu, and d'Artagnan felt this glance run through
1389 40 |           the cardinal, "are you a d'Artagnan from Bearn?" ~"Yes, monseigneur,"
1390 40 |                 Monseigneur," said d'Artagnan, "this was what happened
1391 40 |          correctly informed," said d'Artagnan. ~"Since that time many

1395 40 |           all the circumstances." ~D'Artagnan bowed with respect. ~"That,"
1396 40 |             with respect to you." ~D'Artagnan became more and more astonished. ~"
1397 40 |             down there, before me, d'Artagnan; you are gentleman enough
1398 40 |            You are brave, Monsieur d'Artagnan," continued his Eminence; "
1399 40 |          hopes, monseigneur," said d'Artagnan. ~"There are no extravagant

1403 40 |              monseigneur," replied d'Artagnan, "and I am conscious of

1413 40 |            you ought to have done, d'Artagnan; but perhaps you have been
1414 40 |             you have been wrong." ~D'Artagnan sighed deeply, for this
1415 40 |        preparations for departure. D'Artagnan went to take leave of M.
1416 40 |      contented himself with asking d'Artagnan if he could do anything
1417 40 |              anything for him, but d'Artagnan answered that he was supplied
1418 40 |             wine. ~In the meantime d'Artagnan was defiling with his company.
1419 41 |             courage and conduct of d'Artagnan, cruelly mystified him. ~

1421 41 |           halted. It followed that d'Artagnan, who was as yet purely and
1422 41 |          Minimes; but, as we know, d'Artagnan, possessed with ambition
1423 41 |             perspicuous as that of d'Artagnan, this indulgence was a light
1424 41 |            diamond--supposing that d'Artagnan, in his projects of ambition,
1425 41 |           trod under his feet, for d'Artagnan made these reflections while
1426 41 |              from behind a hedge. ~D'Artagnan had a quick eye and a prompt
1427 41 |            No time was to be lost. D'Artagnan sprang up with a bound,
1428 41 |           his face to the ground. ~D'Artagnan was not one of those foolhardy
1429 41 |              of the question here; d'Artagnan had fallen into an ambush. ~"
1430 41 |              purse in his pocket. ~D'Artagnan took his hat, examined the
1431 41 |          with respect to him. ~But d'Artagnan again shook his head. For
1432 41 |            poor friends!" murmured d'Artagnan; "where are you? And that
1433 41 |              you should fail me!" ~D'Artagnan passed a very bad night.
1434 41 |         brought any accident. ~But d'Artagnan well suspected that that
1435 41 |             was not relinquished. ~D'Artagnan remained all day in his
1436 41 |        guards were under arms, and d'Artagnan took his place in the midst
1437 41 |             or two, it appeared to d'Artagnan that M. Dessessart made
1438 41 |               my captain!" replied d'Artagnan, who wished for nothing
1439 41 |            Dessessart, pointing to d'Artagnan; "and as to the four or
1440 41 |              killed with me!" said d'Artagnan, raising his sword. ~Two
1441 41 |             was deemed sufficient. D'Artagnan declined all others, being
1442 41 |            to verify the reports. ~D'Artagnan set out with his four companions,
1443 41 |           There, on turning round, d'Artagnan perceived that the two soldiers
1444 41 |              came whistling around d'Artagnan and his companions. ~They
1445 41 |           been useless imprudence. D'Artagnan and his two companions turned
1446 41 |              way toward the camp. ~D'Artagnan was not willing to abandon
1447 41 |        passed within two inches of d'Artagnan. ~The young man turned quickly
1448 41 |         heads of the two soldiers. D'Artagnan had not been deceived; these
1449 41 |           Fortunately, deceived by d'Artagnan's trick, they neglected
1450 41 |           within ten paces of him, d'Artagnan, who in falling had taken
1451 41 |           aimed a terrible blow at d'Artagnan, who avoided it by springing
1452 41 |            his shoulder. ~Meantime d'Artagnan had thrown himself upon
1453 41 |           the assassin, who fell. ~D'Artagnan immediately placed the point

1455 41 |            that woman dead?" asked d'Artagnan. ~"By that letter which
1456 41 |               You see, then," said d'Artagnan, "that I must have that
1457 41 |          man--" and at these words d'Artagnan made so fierce a gesture
1458 41 |              will go--I will go!" ~D'Artagnan took the soldier's arquebus,
1459 41 |            with a cold sweat, that d'Artagnan took pity on him, and casting
1460 41 |           accidents of the ground, d'Artagnan succeeded in reaching the
1461 41 |         search him in the trench. ~D'Artagnan preferred the second means,
1462 41 |     convulsion of agony, proved to d'Artagnan that the would-be assassin
1463 41 |      assassin had saved his life. ~D'Artagnan regained the trench, and
1464 41 |            with that woman?" asked d'Artagnan, with anguish. ~"We were
1465 41 |                Yes, yes!" murmured d'Artagnan; "that's the place--Milady'
1466 41 |              of his preserver; but d'Artagnan, who had no longer a motive

1468 41 |               the brave exploit of d'Artagnan resulted in the restoration
1469 41 |              he had lost. In fact, d'Artagnan believed that he might be

1473 42 |            That's all well!" cried d'Artagnan. They think of me in their
1474 42 |             not drink alone." ~And d'Artagnan went among those Guardsmen
1475 42 |           for the day after that. ~D'Artagnan, on his return, sent the
1476 42 |        dinner was fixed for midday d'Artagnan sent Planchet at nine in
1477 42 |              who had tried to kill d'Artagnan and who, belonging to no
1478 42 |        entered into the service of d'Artagnan, or rather of Planchet,
1479 42 |          rather of Planchet, after d'Artagnan had saved his life. ~The
1480 42 |             lees into a glass, and d'Artagnan desired him to drink it,
1481 42 |            sprang to their swords. D'Artagnan, not less forward than they,
1482 42 |        proceeded and followed him. D'Artagnan, placed in line with his
1483 42 |            arms. ~"Pardieu!" cried d'Artagnan, "you could not have arrived
1484 42 |              dear friend," replied d'Artagnan. ~"Our wine!" said Athos,
1485 42 |           was your purveyor," said d'Artagnan. ~"Our purveyor!" ~"Yes,
1486 42 |            are right, Athos," said d'Artagnan. "Did none of you charge

1493 42 |            cried he, on perceiving d'Artagnan, "ah! this is frightful!
1494 42 |            poison me!" ~"I!" cried d'Artagnan. "I, wretch? What do you
1495 42 |         think so, Brisemont," said d'Artagnan; "do not think so. I swear
1496 42 |             Upon the Gospel," said d'Artagnan, throwing himself down by
