This thing, at a distance, could not be distinguished, and signified absolutely nothing; nearer, it was a hogshead muffled in gold-bound green cloth; when close, it was a man, or rather a poussa, the interior extremity of whom, spreading over the interior of the box, entirely filled it, when still closer, the man was Mousqueton Mousqueton, with gray hair and a face as red as Punchinello's.
Fool that I was, I thought she wavered, and my heart beat as it never will again.
