"There is no doubt they went thither to fight themselves." "I do not accuse them, sire; but I leave your Majesty to judge what five armed men could possibly be going to do in such a deserted place as the neighborhood of the Convent des Carmes." "Yes, you are right, Treville, you are right!"
He consequently sprang up again, re-entered the office, with a turn of his finger set the clock right again, that it might not be perceived the next day that it had been put wrong, and certain from that time that he had a witness to prove his alibi, he ran downstairs and soon found himself in the street. His visit to M. de Treville being paid, the pensive d'Artagnan took the longest way homeward.
I will then release you from all your promises even that of procuring my admission into the Musketeers; for before everything, I wish to avenge myself." "Beware, young man!" cried Treville. "If you see him coming on one side of the street, pass by on the other. Do not cast yourself against such a rock; he would break you like glass."
It is useless to let the cardinal know." "Yes, sire." "You understand, Treville an edict is still an edict, it is forbidden to fight, after all." "But this encounter, sire, is quite out of the ordinary conditions of a duel. It is a brawl; and the proof is that there were five of the cardinal's Guardsmen against my three Musketeers and Monsieur d'Artagnan."
Burnet, after mentioning the murder of the Duchess of Orleans, says: I will set down one story of her, that was told me by a person of distinction, who had it from some who were well informed of the matter. Swift. Poor authority. Burnet. When she was in her agony, she said, "Adieu, Tréville."
"Did you ask for me, my good friend?" said M. de Treville. "Yes, monsieur," said d'Artagnan, lowering his voice, "and you will pardon me, I hope, for having disturbed you when you know the importance of my business." "Speak, then, I am all attention." "It concerns nothing less," said d'Artagnan, "than the honor, perhaps the life of the queen."
Determined to put the advice of M. de Treville in practice instantly, d'Artagnan directed his course toward the Rue des Fossoyeurs, in order to superintend the packing of his valise. On approaching the house, he perceived M. Bonacieux in morning costume, standing at his threshold.
"I was about to ask you if you had heard any news of them?" "None, monsieur." "Well, I left them on my road Porthos at Chantilly, with a duel on his hands; Aramis at Crevecoeur, with a ball in his shoulder; and Athos at Amiens, detained by an accusation of coining." "See there, now!" said M. de Treville; "and how the devil did you escape?"
"But your mission will not be accomplished." "That is true," replied d'Artagnan. "Believe me," continued Treville, "in enterprises of this kind, in order that one may arrive, four must set out." "Ah, you are right, monsieur," said d'Artagnan; "but you know Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and you know if I can dispose of them." "Without confiding to them the secret which I am not willing to know?"
A name like yours must be as a buckler to me on my way. Judge if I should not put myself under its protection." Flattery was at that period very current, and M. de Treville loved incense as well as a king, or even a cardinal.
