"No, I should say not. Of course, we shall have to draw in a bit. It would not do to set the bells of Lisbon ringing." "I should think not, Dick. Still, I dare say we shall have plenty of fun, and at any rate we are likely, from what they say, to have plenty of fighting.
"But there are oubliettes!" replied Athos, smiling. "Oh! that's a different thing; yes, I know there are traditions of that sort," said Comminges.
