"Monsieur will no doubt hear with pleasure that Blaisois's son is gone on horseback, to gain an hour over the courier of Blois," replied his valet de chambre. "Thank you," replied Athos, with his placid smile. The comte fell asleep, but his disturbed slumber resembled torture rather than repose.

"On the honor of a Rochefort; but you must do the like for me." "There's my hand, I promise." "Therefore, whenever you find any opportunity of saying something in my behalf " "I shall say it, and you?" "I shall do the same." "Apropos, are we to speak of your friends also, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis? or have you forgotten them?" "Almost." "What has become of them?"

Then all his suspicions were confirmed; the road by which the carriage had disappeared encircled the forest. Athos followed the road for some time, his eyes fixed upon the ground; slight stains of blood, which came from the wound inflicted upon the man who accompanied the carriage as a courier, or from one of the horses, dotted the road.

When the hour appointed for the audience arrived Athos was obliged to stay until the queen, who was waited upon by a new deputation from Paris, had consulted with her minister as to the propriety and manner of receiving them.

D'Artagnan returns to Paris to live the life of a rich citizen, and Athos, after negotiating the marriage of Philip, the king's brother, to Princess Henrietta of England, likewise retires to his own estate, La Fere. Meanwhile, Mazarin has finally died, and left Louis to assume the reigns of power, with the assistance of M. Colbert, formerly Mazarin's trusted clerk.

Before long, comte, the monarchy will be established in such a manner as to enable me to offer a worthy hospitality to men of your merit." "Provided, sire, a monarch reigns grandly in the hearts of his subjects, the palace he inhabits matters little, since he is worshipped in a temple." With these words Athos left the cabinet, and found De Bragelonne, who was awaiting him anxiously.

"You have guessed it," answered Aramis; and they all laughed so heartily that the host appeared in order to inquire whether the gentlemen wanted anything; he thought they were fighting. At last their hilarity calmed down and: "Faith!" exclaimed D'Artagnan to the two friends, "you may well wish ill to Mazarin; for I assure you, on his side he wishes you no good." "Pooh! really?" asked Athos.

"I authorize M. le Comte de la Fere to send the twenty to join the eight," said Monk, stretching out his hand to Athos. "Let them return to camp. Mr. Digby, you will consider yourself under arrest for a month." "General " "That is to teach you, sir, not to act, another time, without orders." "I had those of the lieutenant, general."

"But this creature must be a demon!" said Porthos, holding out his plate to Aramis, who was cutting up a fowl. "And this carte blanche," said d'Artagnan, "this carte blanche, does it remain in her hands?" "No, it passed into mine; I will not say without trouble, for if I did I should tell a lie." "My dear Athos, I shall no longer count the number of times I am indebted to you for my life."

If D'Artagnan pretended surprise, Aramis did not pretend at all; he started when he saw his two friends, and his emotion was very apparent. Athos and D'Artagnan, however, complimented him as usual, and Baisemeaux, amazed, completely stupefied by the presence of his three guests, began to perform a few evolutions around them. "By what lucky accident "
