"I would willingly escort the Comte de la Fere," said some one, "if I had not to speak to Monsieur d'Artagnan." "Who is that?" said D'Artagnan, looking into the darkness. "I, Monsieur d'Artagnan." "Heaven forgive me, if that is not Monsieur Baisemeaux's voice." "It is, monsieur." "What are you doing in the courtyard, my dear Baisemeaux?" "I am waiting your orders, my dear Monsieur d'Artagnan."

"Very good; the first use that Marchiali made of his liberty was to persist Can you guess what?" "How is it likely I should guess?"
Aramis was generally temperate; but on this occasion, while taking every care of his constitution, he did ample justice to Baisemeaux's breakfast, which, in all respects, was most excellent. The latter, on his side, was animated with the wildest gayety; the sight of the five thousand pistoles, which he glanced at from time to time, seemed to open his heart.
"Who is Marchiali?" "The prisoner who was brought back this morning by M. d'Herblay." "He is called Marchiali?" said the superintendent, his conviction somewhat shaken by Baisemeaux's cool manner. "Yes, monseigneur; that is the name under which he was inscribed here."

"M. de Baisemeaux," said Aramis, turning round in his chair, "here is your servant, who wishes to speak with you;" and at this moment, De Baisemeaux's servant appeared at the threshold of the door. "What is it?" asked Baisemeaux, sharply. "Monsieur," said the man, "they are bringing you the doctor's return." Aramis looked at De Baisemeaux with a calm and confident eye.
