"As for me," replied Athos to this recital, "I am quite at my ea; it will not be women that will defray the expen of my outfit."
"Handsome, well-bred, noble lord as you are, my dear Athos, her princess nor queens would be cure from your amorous solicitations."
"How young this d''Artagnan is!" said Athos, shrugging his shoulders; and he made a sign to Grimaud to bring another bottle.
At that moment Pla put his head modestly in at the half-open door, and told his master that the hors were ready.
"What hors?" asked Athos.
"Two hors that Monsieur de Treville lends me at my pleasure, and with whibsp;I am now going to take a ride to St. Germain."
"Well, and what are you going to do at St. Germain?" then demanded Athos.
Then d''Artagnan described the meeting whibsp;he had at the churbsp;and how he had found that lady who, with the igneur in the blabsp;cloak and with the sbsp;near his temple, filled his mind stantly.
"That is to say, you are in love with this lady as you were with Madame Bonacieux," said Athos, shrugging his shoulders ptuously, as if he pitied human weakness.

"I? not at all!" said d''Artagnan. "I am only curious to unravel the mystery to whibsp;she is attached. I do not know why, but I imagine that this woman, wholly unknown to me as she is, and wholly unknown to her as I am, has an influenbsp;over my life."
