"Monsieur le Capitaine," said I, "you find it troublesome enough to reconcile your conscience with such arrests as you are charged to make, is it not so. "Mordieu!" he cried, by way of emphatically assenting.
"Oh! shall I suffer this?" murmured he, "shall I devour this affront also? No, my patience is worn out. Mordieu! that I can neither sleep, nor wake, nor even suffer quietly, because a shameful caprice has lodged in the idle brain of this miserable prince. No, I am not a complaisant valet; I am the Comte de Monsoreau, and if he comes near, on my word, I will blow his brains out.
"You are laughing at me, and want to try me!" said d'Artagnan, whom anger began to take by the hair, as Minerva takes Achilles, in the ILLIAD. "No, I do not jest, MORDIEU! I should like to have seen you in my place! I had been fifteen days without seeing a human face, and had been left to brutalize myself in the company of bottles."
"Poor St. Luc!" cried the king, clasping his hands. "You should have asked me yesterday, sire, then I was ill and cross. I would have thrown myself into a well for a trifle.

"Surely, M. le Baron, he will have justified it if he succeeds." "Justified it! Ah, parbleu! Can a soldier ever justify acting without orders?"
"Or perhaps he comes to ask me for his property, of which I have kept back the revenues, which may have been rather an abuse of power, as, after all, he has committed no crime." "Who knows?"
