"Bah!" replied Aramis, "it is nothing, since I am here; the principal thing was that I should get here, and here I am." "Speak quickly," said Fouquet, closing the door of the cabinet behind Aramis and himself. "Are we alone?" "Yes, perfectly." "No one observes us? no one can hear us?" "Be satisfied; nobody." "Is M. du Vallon arrived?" "Yes." "And you have received my letter?" "Yes.
