1501 42 |           situation. ~"Well," said d'Artagnan to Athos, "you see, my dear
1502 42 |              I tell you," repeated d'Artagnan; "only reflect how much
1503 42 |              effectually." ~It was d'Artagnan who now shook his head in
1504 42 |           means well enough," said d'Artagnan, "but where and how to meet
1505 42 |            simple." ~"What?" asked d'Artagnan. ~"You say she is in a convent?"
1506 42 |                Don't you say, dear d'Artagnan, that it is the queen who
1507 42 |        meeting again that evening. D'Artagnan returned to less important
1508 43 |              Now, one evening when d'Artagnan, who was in the trenches,
1509 44 |              I mean that miserable d'Artagnan." ~"He is a bold fellow,"
1510 44 |             so as you tell me this d'Artagnan is a libertine, a duelist,
1511 45 |        opened the door to Monsieur d'Artagnan; it was you who, believing
1512 45 |           allow you to assassinate d'Artagnan."~Milady was livid. ~"You
1513 45 |            finger a single hair of d'Artagnan, who is a faithful friend
1514 45 |              the last." ~"Monsieur d'Artagnan has cruelly insulted me,"
1515 45 |             hollow tone; "Monsieur d'Artagnan shall die!" ~"Indeed! Is
1516 46 |              of his three friends, d'Artagnan found them assembled in
1517 46 |             Athos. ~"Oh, oh!" said d'Artagnan, comprehending the slight
1518 46 |            like sheets of paper." ~D'Artagnan, who was accustomed to his
1519 46 |              need of one just now. D'Artagnan, tell us what sort of a
1520 46 |          best of the Rochellais." ~D'Artagnan looked at Athos to know
1521 46 |               Yes, monsieur," said d'Artagnan, bowing, "we have had that
1522 46 |              St. Gervais," replied d'Artagnan, "from behind which the
1523 46 |             that's probable," said d'Artagnan. ~"Gentlemen," said Athos, "
1524 46 |     Messieurs Porthos, Aramis, and d'Artagnan, and myself, will go and
1525 46 |           comprehend. ~"But," said d'Artagnan, in the ear of Athos, "you
1526 46 |      themselves in the open plain, d'Artagnan, who was completely ignorant
1527 46 |            It appears to me," said d'Artagnan, with that prudence which
1528 46 |           advantage." ~"Yes," said d'Artagnan; "but we shall indubitably
1529 46 |            have you not heard what d'Artagnan said?" ~"What did he say?"
1530 46 |                demanded Porthos. ~"d'Artagnan said that in the attack
1531 46 |              in sign of agreement. D'Artagnan alone did not seem convinced. ~
1532 47 |                 Well, then," cried d'Artagnan, "pray let Grimaud search
1533 47 |          tailors. ~"And now," said d'Artagnan, "as there is no longer
1534 47 |              But the secret!" said d'Artagnan. ~"The secret is," said
1535 47 |           saw Milady last night." ~D'Artagnan was lifting a glass to his
1536 47 |        Milady." ~"Where?" demanded d'Artagnan. ~"Within two leagues of
1537 47 |              case I am lost," said d'Artagnan. ~"Not so bad yet," replied
1538 47 |            the shores of France." ~D'Artagnan breathed again. ~"But after
1539 47 |            views toward our friend d'Artagnan, who, on his part, has given
1540 47 |            of the cardinal?" cried d'Artagnan, pale with terror. ~"Yes,
1541 47 |              Aramis. ~"Then," said d'Artagnan, letting his arm fall with
1542 47 |            can never escape," said d'Artagnan, "with such enemies. First,
1543 47 |            of wine to your health, d'Artagnan." ~"To your health!" repeated
1544 47 |                Porthos, Aramis and d'Artagnan followed his example. As
1545 47 |             I doubt that," replied d'Artagnan, "for they are advancing
1546 47 |            you going to do?" cried d'Artagnan, "you will be shot." ~But
1547 47 |           Take care, Athos!" cried d'Artagnan; "don't you see they are
1548 47 |             you were saying," said d'Artagnan, "that after having demanded
1549 47 |              Duke of Buckingham." ~D'Artagnan uttered an exclamation of
1550 47 |           barrier. ~"How?" replied d'Artagnan, "you care little if she
1551 47 |           glass. ~"A moment," said d'Artagnan. "I will not abandon Buckingham
1552 47 |            you will understand me, d'Artagnan, was the getting from this
1553 47 |          this carte blanche," said d'Artagnan, "this carte blanche, does
1554 47 |             of the cardinal?" said d'Artagnan. ~"Here it is," said Athos;
1555 47 |             pocket of his uniform. D'Artagnan unfolded it with one hand,
1556 47 |              torn to pieces," said d'Artagnan, who fancied he read in
1557 47 |             morning he will arrest d'Artagnan, and for fear he should
1558 47 |        Aramis. ~"And I, too," said d'Artagnan. ~"Fortunately, she is far
1559 47 |       worries me everywhere," said d'Artagnan. ~"But when you held her
1560 47 |             with a sad smile which d'Artagnan alone understood. ~"I have
1561 47 |              I have an idea," said d'Artagnan. ~"What is it?" said the
1562 47 |                I cover mine," said d'Artagnan. ~"And I mine," said Porthos. ~"
1563 47 |               it appears so!" said d'Artagnan. ~"No," cried Porthos; "
1564 47 |             fair players. Besides, d'Artagnan has not told us his idea
1565 47 |        breakfast. ~"My idea?" said d'Artagnan. ~"Yes; you said you had
1566 47 |              Oh, I remember," said d'Artagnan. "Well, I will go to England
1567 47 |             You shall not do that, d'Artagnan," said Athos, coolly. ~"
1568 47 |              amounts to treason." ~D'Artagnan perceived the force of this
1569 47 |             yes!" said Porthos and d'Artagnan, at the same time; "we are
1570 47 |           this means, Athos?" said d'Artagnan. ~"I do not reject it altogether,"
1571 47 |            us." ~"Gentlemen," said d'Artagnan, "what Porthos says is full
1572 47 |             drum draws near," said d'Artagnan. ~"Let it come," said Athos. "
1573 47 |              the great man!" cried d'Artagnan. "I comprehend now." ~"You
1574 47 |            idea!" cried Aramis and d'Artagnan, at the same time. ~"This
1575 47 |            as I think you told me, d'Artagnan?" ~"Yes, I know him very
1576 47 |            in peace." ~"Yes," said d'Artagnan, "till she comes out." ~"
1577 47 |              you require too much, d'Artagnan. I have given you all I
1578 47 |              I for Planchet," said d'Artagnan. ~"Ay," said Porthos, "if
1579 47 |       cheerful. ~"Look out!" cried d'Artagnan, "I see black points and
1580 47 |         visibly enlarging. I am of d'Artagnan's opinion; we have no time
1581 47 |          Athos, come along!" cried d'Artagnan; "now we have found everything
1582 47 |             matter with your hand, d'Artagnan? It bleeds, seemingly." ~"
1583 47 |            Oh, it's nothing," said d'Artagnan. ~"A spent ball?" ~"Not
1584 47 |              said that Athos loved d'Artagnan like a child, and this somber
1585 47 |          grazed a little," replied d'Artagnan; "my fingers were caught
1586 47 |             sell it." ~"But," said d'Artagnan, "it is the queen's diamond." ~"
1587 47 |            not being a love token, d'Artagnan may sell it." ~"My dear
1588 47 |        Aramis. ~"Well, then," said d'Artagnan, gaily, "let us sell the
1589 47 |              And the Guardsman?" ~"d'Artagnan." ~"Still my young scapegrace.
1590 47 |            the Guardsmen. Monsieur d'Artagnan is not with me; he serves
1591 47 |           the three Musketeers and d'Artagnan, inviting all four to breakfast
1592 47 |            with him next morning. ~D'Artagnan was beside himself with
1593 47 |       delighted. ~"My faith," said d'Artagnan to Athos, "you had a triumphant
1594 47 |       cardinalists." ~That evening d'Artagnan went to present his respects
1595 47 |           Dessessart, who esteemed d'Artagnan, made him offers of help,
1596 47 |           expenses for equipment. ~D'Artagnan refused; but thinking the
1597 47 |         Dessessart's valet came to d'Artagnan's lodging, and gave him
1598 48 |           the means, the diamond. ~D'Artagnan alone had discovered nothing--
1599 48 |              cheerful as possible. D'Artagnan already wore his uniform--
1600 48 |         friend a complete outfit. ~D'Artagnan would have been at the height
1601 48 |         there finish their plans. ~D'Artagnan passed the day in exhibiting
1602 48 |            his candidate. Finally, d'Artagnan had entire faith in the
1603 48 |             No." ~"My faith," said d'Artagnan. "I would almost answer
1604 48 |                 Not at all," cried d'Artagnan, who was anxious the matter
1605 48 |       secrets of state," continued d'Artagnan, complying with the recommendation. "
1606 48 |             well commenced! Bravo, d'Artagnan! Only with that word you
1607 48 |                            My dear d'Artagnan, you will never make anything
1608 48 |     committed." ~"The devil!" said d'Artagnan, "you are insupportable.
1609 48 |              Well, so be it," said d'Artagnan. "Draw up this note for
1610 48 |              also," said Porthos. ~D'Artagnan and Athos looked at each
1611 48 |           made a sign of assent to d'Artagnan, who by it understood he
1612 48 |             you have to say," said d'Artagnan: "My Lord, your sister-in-law
1613 48 |         France, and having been--" d'Artagnan stopped, as if seeking for
1614 48 |           been branded," continued d'Artagnan. ~"Bah!" cried Porthos. "
1615 48 |  fleur-de-lis?" inquired Aramis. ~"d'Artagnan and I. Or rather, to observe
1616 48 |         chronological order, I and d'Artagnan," replied Athos. ~"And does
1617 48 |             breaking the silence, "d'Artagnan has given us an excellent
1618 48 |             I have the price"; and d'Artagnan threw the bag upon the table.
1619 48 |            suppose that our friend d'Artagnan has added any of his own
1620 48 |      gentlemen, in all this," said d'Artagnan, "we do not think of the
1621 48 |         speak." ~"Very well," said d'Artagnan, "I consent to Bazin with
1622 48 |        please, and my master, Lord d'Artagnan. With that you may be satisfied
1623 48 |           had been named to him by d'Artagnan, who in the first place
1624 48 |             your commission," said d'Artagnan. ~"You will give me a copy
1625 48 |          know by heart tomorrow." ~D'Artagnan looked at his friends, as
1626 48 |          fault any evil happens to d'Artagnan, I will find you, wherever
1627 48 |        friends so closely united. ~D'Artagnan took his hand. "See, Planchet,"
1628 48 |            was mounting his horse, d'Artagnan, who felt at the bottom
1629 48 |       anything. "Neffer, neffer!" ~D'Artagnan, seeing Athos rise, did
1630 48 |          expectation are long, and d'Artagnan, in particular, would have
1631 48 |            signs were so strong in d'Artagnan and his two friends that
1632 48 |            he does not come?" said d'Artagnan. ~"Well, if he does not
1633 48 |            all very well," replied d'Artagnan; "but I am tired of fearing
1634 48 |                 We are lost," said d'Artagnan, in the ear of Athos. ~"
1635 48 |            Parpaillot, followed by d'Artagnan. Aramis came behind, giving
1636 48 |              which was familiar to d'Artagnan, and a well- known voice
1637 48 |       evening." ~"Planchet!" cried d'Artagnan, beside himself with joy. ~"
1638 48 |          will never leave Monsieur d'Artagnan." ~At the same time d'Artagnan
1639 48 |       Artagnan." ~At the same time d'Artagnan felt that Planchet slipped
1640 48 |             a note into his hand. ~D'Artagnan felt a strong inclination
1641 48 |            note burned the hand of d'Artagnan. He wished to hasten their
1642 48 |            might not be surprised, d'Artagnan, with a trembling hand,
1643 48 |               Thank you; be easy. ~d'Artagnan translated this for the
1644 48 |           letter from the hands of d'Artagnan, approached the lamp, set
1645 48 |           Planchet. ~"Well!" cried d'Artagnan, "tell us all about it." ~"
1646 48 |         others." ~"So be it," said d'Artagnan. "Go to bed, Planchet, and
1647 48 |                 And me, too!" said d'Artagnan. ~"And me, too!" said Porthos. ~"
1648 49 |           she had been insulted by d'Artagnan, threatened by Athos, and
1649 50 |            the suspicions to which d'Artagnan's letter had given birth
1650 50 |           attack she had made upon d'Artagnan when he spared the life
1651 51 |             done us in uniting us. D'Artagnan," continued Athos, "you,
1652 51 |              than kings by birth. ~D'Artagnan came forward and stammered
1653 51 |       Eminence may believe," added d'Artagnan, "that we would have come
1654 51 |              letter, Aramis?" said d'Artagnan. ~"I," said Aramis, in his
1655 51 |             sensible, Athos," said d'Artagnan. ~"In that case, let there
1656 51 |          read a line or two," said d'Artagnan; "read the letter again
1657 51 |             owe you, Aramis?" said d'Artagnan. "Dear Constance! I have
1658 51 |              pocket!" ~"Yes," said d'Artagnan, "Athos is right, it must
1659 52 |            that she has succumbed. D'Artagnan has conquered her--her,
1660 52 |           rendered her so strong. ~D'Artagnan has turned aside from Buckingham,
1661 52 |           the person of the queen. D'Artagnan had passed himself upon
1662 52 |            women of her character. D'Artagnan knows that terrible secret
1663 52 |          from her hands, and it is d'Artagnan who holds her prisoner and
1664 52 |               All this she owes to d'Artagnan, without doubt. From whom
1665 53 |             that she at length had d'Artagnan in her power, that she was
1666 55 |             a man like that cursed d'Artagnan. A Puritan only adores virgins,
1667 56 |            perhaps; to return when d'Artagnan and his friends, happy and
1668 59 |      remembered the verbal caution d'Artagnan had transmitted to him by
1669 60 |  communicated it. It was then that d'Artagnan appreciated the favor the
1670 60 |           end of France. Therefore d'Artagnan was going to ask leave of
1671 60 |           four cursed it heartily. D'Artagnan, in particular, had a perpetual
1672 60 |   twenty-fifth. ~"Good Lord!" said d'Artagnan, who, as we have often said,
1673 60 |              as one. But consider, d'Artagnan," added he, in a tone so
1674 60 |             to deal with four men, d'Artagnan, I would allow you to go
1675 60 |          terrify me, Athos!" cried d'Artagnan. "My God! what do you fear?" ~"
1676 60 |       Everything!" replied Athos. ~D'Artagnan examined the countenances
1677 60 |             entering Arras, and as d'Artagnan was dismounting at the inn
1678 60 |            eagerly over his eyes. ~D'Artagnan, who had his eyes fixed
1679 60 |            friends hastened toward d'Artagnan, who, instead of being ill,
1680 60 |          Athos. ~"It is he!" cried d'Artagnan, pale with anger, an with
1681 60 |    overtaking him. Let the man go, d'Artagnan; let us save the woman." ~"
1682 60 |               eh!" ~"Friend," said d'Artagnan, "a half-pistole for that
1683 60 |              returned to the yard. D'Artagnan unfolded the paper. ~"Well?"
1684 60 |        Nothing but one word!" said d'Artagnan. ~"Yes," said Aramis, "but
1685 60 |            Come on, come on!" said d'Artagnan; "let us keep that paper
1686 61 |     enterprise. She had succeeded; d'Artagnan was then in her power! ~
1687 61 |           Athos-the best friend of d'Artagnan. ~But alas, if he was the
1688 61 |            if he was the friend of d'Artagnan, he must have lent him his
1689 61 |            if he was the friend of d'Artagnan, he was the enemy of the
1690 61 |            their friends, Monsieur d'Artagnan, say a great deal about
1691 61 |                  You know Monsieur d'Artagnan!" cried the novice, in her
1692 61 |           understand that Monsieur d'Artagnan, being my friend, might
1693 61 |        expect himself." ~"Himself? D'Artagnan here?" ~"Himself!" ~"But
1694 61 |         anything impossible for my d'Artagnan, the noble and loyal gentleman?" ~"
1695 62 |            mistress of that fellow d'Artagnan?" ~"Yes; Madame Bonacieux,
1696 62 |                Indeed! And who?" ~"d'Artagnan and his friends." ~"Indeed,
1697 62 |             only are to be feared--d'Artagnan and Athos; tell him that
1698 62 |             arrival at Portsmouth; d'Artagnan and Athos to the Bastille;
1699 62 |           how he was recognized by d'Artagnan, and how that recognition
1700 63 |            fetch you." ~"But it is d'Artagnan that will come." ~"Do not
1701 63 |              not deceive yourself. D'Artagnan and his friends are detained
1702 63 |              be deceived, and that d'Artagnan and his friends may really

1744 63 |           Mme. Bonacieux dead, and d'Artagnan in a swoon. He appeared
