While saying this he looked at his friend with an earness that embarrasd him.
"No," replied d''Artagnan, "if I recollebsp;well what you said, it was nothing out of the on way."
"Ah, you surpri me. I thought I had told you a most lamentable story." And he looked at the young man as if he would read the bottom of his heart.
"My faith," said d''Artagnan, "it appears that I was more drunk than you, sinbsp;I remember nothing of the kind."
Athos did not trust this reply, and he resumed; "you ot have failed to remark, my dear friend, that everyone has his particular kind of drunkenness, sad or gay. My drunkenness is always sad, and when I am thhly drunk my mania is to relate all the lugubrious stories whibsp;my foolish nur inculcated into my brain. That is my failing--a capital failing, I admit; but with that exception, I am a good drinker."
Athos spoke this in so natural a manner that d''Artagnan was shaken in his vi.
"It is that, then," replied the young man, anxious to find out the truth, "it is that, then, I remember as we remember a dream. We were speaking of hanging."
