"And for myself, monsieur, shall I saddle Rustaud?" "No, take a more stylish horse, Phoebus or Superbe; we are going with some ceremony." "Ah," said Mousqueton, breathing more freely, "you are only going, then, to make a visit?" "Oh! yes, of course, Mouston; nothing else. But to avoid risk, put the pistols in the holsters. You will find mine on my saddle, already loaded."

"I like Rustaud, my lord; a good animal, whose paces suit me." "Strong, thinkest thou?" "Half Norman, half Mecklenburger; will go night and day." "That will do for us. See to these horses. Polish up or make some one else polish my arms. Then take pistols with thee and a hunting-knife." "Are we then going to travel, my lord?" asked Mousqueton, rather uneasy. "Something better still, Mouston."
