If you have a few hours to spare, give them to me." "All! all!" cried the young man. "Thank you!" "And what are you going to do now?" "I am going to meet M. le comte at Planchet's residence, where we hope to find M. d'Artagnan." "M. d'Artagnan?" "Yes, I wish to embrace him before my departure. He is a brave man, who loves me dearly.
D'Artagnan, little amused by the court's activities at Fontainebleau, and finding himself with nothing to do, has returned to Paris, and we find him again in Planchet's grocery shop. Enjoy! John Bursey
"You are a flatterer! Well! adieu, dear friend. A propos, remember me to Master Planchet; he was always a bright fellow." "And a man of heart, too, Athos. Adieu." And they separated. Nine o'clock was striking at Saint-Merri. Planchet's helps were shutting up his shop.
