I know, because it is my office to know everything. On your return you were received by an august personage, and I perceive with pleasure that you preserve the souvenir she gave you." D'Artagnan placed his hand upon the queen's diamond, which he wore, and quickly turned the stone inward; but it was too late. "The day after that, you received a visit from Cavois," resumed the cardinal.
M. de Valencay, according to agreement, had the pleasure of serving as his second, and of running through the body M. de Cavois, the second of the Marquis des Portes, a man who had never done him any injury, and whom he afterwards acknowledged he had never seen before.
"You will understand, monsieur, I thought there would be still time, if you wish, to see Monsieur de Cavois to contradict me by saying you were not yet gone. The falsehood would then lie at my door, and as I am not a gentleman, I may be allowed to lie." "Be of good heart, Planchet, you shall preserve your reputation as a veracious man. In a quarter of an hour we set off."
For himself, he had no doubt she was a victim of the cardinal's vengeance; and, and as was well known, the vengeance of his Eminence was terrible. How he had found grace in the eyes of the minister, he did not know; but without doubt M. de Cavois would have revealed this to him if the captain of the Guards had found him at home.
I thought you would never come in." "What's the matter now, Planchet?" demanded d'Artagnan. "Oh! I give you a hundred, I give you a thousand times to guess, monsieur, the visit I received in your absence." "When?" "About half an hour ago, while you were at Monsieur de Treville's." "Who has been here? Come, speak." "Monsieur de Cavois." "Monsieur de Cavois?" "In person."
"Gentlemen," replied d'Artagnan, "I have already received by Monsieur de Cavois a similar invitation from his Eminence. I neglected it, and on the morrow a serious misfortune happened to me Constance disappeared. Whatever may ensue, I will go." "If you are determined," said Athos, "do so." "But the Bastille?" said Aramis. "Bah! you will get me out if they put me there," said d'Artagnan.
D'Artagnan, who, as we have said, was exceedingly prudent for a young man of twenty, then remembered his suspicions regarding Milady. He launched into a eulogy of his Eminence, and said that he should not have failed to enter into the Guards of the cardinal instead of the king's Guards if he had happened to know M. de Cavois instead of M. de Treville.
"The snare is rather MALADROIT for the cardinal," replied the young man, smiling. "Oh, I saw the snare, and I answered you would be quite in despair on your return. "'Where has he gone? asked Monsieur de Cavois. "'To Troyes, in Champagne, I answered. "'And when did he set out? "'Yesterday evening." "Planchet, my friend," interrupted d'Artagnan, "you are really a precious fellow."
