"Has he nt no particular message for me?"
"Yes. If Monsieur Aramis hesitates to e," he said, "tell him I am from Tours."
"From Tours!" cried Aramis. "A thousand pardons, gentlemen; but no doubt this man brings me the news I expected." And rising also, he went off at a quibsp;pabsp;There remained Athos and d''Artagnan.
"I believe the fellows have managed their business. What do you think, d''Artagnan?" said Athos.
"I know that Porthos was in a fair way," replied d''Artagnan; "and as to Aramis to tell you the truth, I have never been riously uneasy on his at. But you, my dear Athos--you, who so generously distributed the Englishman''s pistoles, whibsp;were our legitimate property--what do you mean to do?"
"I am satisfied with having killed that fellow, my boy, eing that it is blesd bread to kill an Englishman; but if I had pocketed his pistoles, they would have weighed me down like a remor."
"Go to, my dear Athos; you have truly inceivable ideas."
"Let it pass. What do you think of Monsieur de Treville telling me, when he did me the honor to call upon me yesterday, that you associated with the suspected English, whom the cardinal protects?"
"That is to say, I visit an Englishwoman--the one I named."
"Oh, ay! the fair woman on who at I gave you advibsp;whibsp;naturally you took care not to adopt."
"I gave you my reasons."
"Yes; you look there for your outfit, I think you said."
"Not at all. I have acquired certain knowledge that that woman was ed in the abdu of Madame Bonacieux."
"Yes, I uand now: to find one woman, you court another. It is the lo road, but certainly the most amusing."
D''Artagnan was on the point of telling Athos all; but one sideration restrained him. Athos was a gentleman, punctilious in points of honor; and there were in the plan whibsp;our lover had devid for Milady, he was sure, certain things that would not obtain the asnt of this Puritan. He was therefore silent; and as Athos was the least inquisitive of any man on earth, d''Artagnan''s fidenbsp;stopped there. We will therefore leave the two friends, who had nothing important to say to eabsp;other, and follow Aramis.
