Chapter IV.
THE SHOULDER OF ATHOS, THE BALDRIC OF PORTHOS AND THE HANDKERCHIEF OF
ARAMIS | At two o’clock I shall have the honor of expecting you at the hôtel of Monsieur de Tréville. | 4 |
Chapter IV.
THE SHOULDER OF ATHOS, THE BALDRIC OF PORTHOS AND THE HANDKERCHIEF OF
ARAMIS | There I will indicate to you the best place and time.” The two young men bowed and separated, Aramis ascending the street which led to the Luxembourg, while D’Artagnan, perceiving the appointed hour was approaching, took the road to the Carmes-Deschaux, saying to himself, “Decidedly I can’t draw back; but at least, if I am killed, I shall be killed by a Musketeer.” | 4 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | D’Artagnan was acquainted with nobody in Paris. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | He went therefore to his appointment with Athos without a second, determined to be satisfied with those his adversary should choose. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Besides, his intention was formed to make the brave Musketeer all suitable apologies, but without meanness or weakness, fearing that might result from this duel which generally results from an affair of this kind, when a young and vigorous man fights with an adversary who is wounded and weakened—if conquered, he doubles the triumph of his antagonist; if a conqueror, he is accused of foul play and want of courage. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Now, we must have badly painted the character of our adventure seeker, or our readers must have already perceived that D’Artagnan was not an ordinary man; therefore, while repeating to himself that his death was inevitable, he did not make up his mind to die quietly, as one less courageous and less restrained might have done in his place. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | He reflected upon the different characters of those with whom he was going to fight, and began to view his situation more clearly. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | He hoped, by means of loyal excuses, to make a friend of Athos, whose lordly air and austere bearing pleased him much. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | He flattered himself he should be able to frighten Porthos with the adventure of the baldric, which he might, if not killed upon the spot, relate to everybody a recital which, well managed, would cover Porthos with ridicule. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | As to the astute Aramis, he did not entertain much dread of him; and supposing he should be able to get so far, he determined to dispatch him in good style or at least, by hitting him in the face, as Cæsar recommended his soldiers do to those of Pompey, to damage forever the beauty of which he was so proud. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | In addition to this, D’Artagnan possessed that invincible stock of resolution which the counsels of his father had implanted in his heart: “Endure nothing from anyone but the king, the cardinal, and Monsieur de Tréville.” He flew, then, rather than walked, toward the convent of the Carmes Déchaussés, or rather Deschaux, as it was called at that period, a sort of building without a window, surrounded by barren fields—an accessory to the Preaux-Clercs, and which was generally employed as the place for the duels of men who had no time to lose. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | When D’Artagnan arrived in sight of the bare spot of ground which extended along the foot of the monastery, Athos had been waiting about five minutes, and twelve o’clock was striking. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | He was, then, as punctual as the Samaritan woman, and the most rigorous casuist with regard to duels could have nothing to say. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Athos, who still suffered grievously from his wound, though it had been dressed anew by M. de Tréville’s surgeon, was seated on a post and waiting for his adversary with hat in hand, his feather even touching the ground. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Monsieur,” said Athos, “I have engaged two of my friends as seconds; but these two friends are not yet come, at which I am astonished, as it is not at all their custom.” “I have no seconds on my part, monsieur,” said D’Artagnan; “for having only arrived yesterday in Paris, I as yet know no one but Monsieur de Tréville, to whom I was recommended by my father, who has the honor to be, in some degree, one of his friends.” Athos reflected for an instant. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “You know no one but Monsieur de Tréville?” he asked. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Yes, monsieur, I know only him.” “Well, but then,” continued Athos, speaking half to himself, “if I kill you, I shall have the air of a boy-slayer.” “Not too much so,” replied D’Artagnan, with a bow that was not deficient in dignity, “since you do me the honor to draw a sword with me while suffering from a wound which is very inconvenient.” “Very inconvenient, upon my word; and you hurt me devilishly, I can tell you. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | But I will take the left hand—it is my custom in such circumstances. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Do not fancy that I do you a favor; I use either hand easily. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | And it will be even a disadvantage to you; a left-handed man is very troublesome to people who are not prepared for it. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | I regret I did not inform you sooner of this circumstance.” “You have truly, monsieur,” said D’Artagnan, bowing again, “a courtesy, for which, I assure you, I am very grateful.” “You confuse me,” replied Athos, with his gentlemanly air; “let us talk of something else, if you please. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Ah, s’blood, how you have hurt me! | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | My shoulder quite burns.” “If you would permit me—” said D’Artagnan, with timidity. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “What, monsieur?” “I have a miraculous balsam for wounds—a balsam given to me by my mother and of which I have made a trial upon myself.” “Well?” “Well, I am sure that in less than three days this balsam would cure you; and at the end of three days, when you would be cured—well, sir, it would still do me a great honor to be your man.” D’Artagnan spoke these words with a simplicity that did honor to his courtesy, without throwing the least doubt upon his courage. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Pardieu, monsieur!” said Athos, “that’s a proposition that pleases me; not that I can accept it, but a league off it savors of the gentleman. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Thus spoke and acted the gallant knights of the time of Charlemagne, in whom every cavalier ought to seek his model. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Unfortunately, we do not live in the times of the great emperor, we live in the times of the cardinal; and three days hence, however well the secret might be guarded, it would be known, I say, that we were to fight, and our combat would be prevented. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | I think these fellows will never come.” “If you are in haste, monsieur,” said D’Artagnan, with the same simplicity with which a moment before he had proposed to him to put off the duel for three days, “and if it be your will to dispatch me at once, do not inconvenience yourself, I pray you.” “There is another word which pleases me,” cried Athos, with a gracious nod to D’Artagnan. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “That did not come from a man without a heart. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Monsieur, I love men of your kidney; and I foresee plainly that if we don’t kill each other, I shall hereafter have much pleasure in your conversation. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | We will wait for these gentlemen, so please you; I have plenty of time, and it will be more correct. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Ah, here is one of them, I believe.” In fact, at the end of the Rue Vaugirard the gigantic Porthos appeared. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “What!” cried D’Artagnan, “is your first witness Monsieur Porthos?” “Yes, that disturbs you?” “By no means.” “And here is the second.” D’Artagnan turned in the direction pointed to by Athos, and perceived Aramis. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “What!” cried he, in an accent of greater astonishment than before, “your second witness is Monsieur Aramis?” “Doubtless! | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Are you not aware that we are never seen one without the others, and that we are called among the Musketeers and the Guards, at court and in the city, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, or the Three Inseparables? | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | And yet, as you come from Dax or Pau—” “From Tarbes,” said D’Artagnan. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “It is probable you are ignorant of this little fact,” said Athos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “My faith!” replied D’Artagnan, “you are well named, gentlemen; and my adventure, if it should make any noise, will prove at least that your union is not founded upon contrasts.” In the meantime, Porthos had come up, waved his hand to Athos, and then turning toward D’Artagnan, stood quite astonished. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Let us say in passing that he had changed his baldric and relinquished his cloak. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Ah, ah!” said he, “what does this mean?” “This is the gentleman I am going to fight with,” said Athos, pointing to D’Artagnan with his hand and saluting him with the same gesture. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Why, it is with him I am also going to fight,” said Porthos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “But not before one o’clock,” replied D’Artagnan. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “And I also am to fight with this gentleman,” said Aramis, coming in his turn onto the place. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “But not until two o’clock,” said D’Artagnan, with the same calmness. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “But what are you going to fight about, Athos?” asked Aramis. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Faith! | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | I don’t very well know. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | He hurt my shoulder. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | And you, Porthos?” “Faith! | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | I am going to fight—because I am going to fight,” answered Porthos, reddening. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Athos, whose keen eye lost nothing, perceived a faintly sly smile pass over the lips of the young Gascon as he replied, “We had a short discussion upon dress.” “And you, Aramis?” asked Athos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Oh, ours is a theological quarrel,” replied Aramis, making a sign to D’Artagnan to keep secret the cause of their duel. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Athos indeed saw a second smile on the lips of D’Artagnan. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Indeed?” said Athos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Yes; a passage of St. Augustine, upon which we could not agree,” said the Gascon. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Decidedly, this is a clever fellow,” murmured Athos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “And now you are assembled, gentlemen,” said D’Artagnan, “permit me to offer you my apologies.” At this word apologies, a cloud passed over the brow of Athos, a haughty smile curled the lip of Porthos, and a negative sign was the reply of Aramis. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “You do not understand me, gentlemen,” said D’Artagnan, throwing up his head, the sharp and bold lines of which were at the moment gilded by a bright ray of the sun. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “I asked to be excused in case I should not be able to discharge my debt to all three; for Monsieur Athos has the right to kill me first, which must much diminish the face-value of your bill, Monsieur Porthos, and render yours almost null, Monsieur Aramis. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | And now, gentlemen, I repeat, excuse me, but on that account only, and—on guard!” At these words, with the most gallant air possible, D’Artagnan drew his sword. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | The blood had mounted to the head of D’Artagnan, and at that moment he would have drawn his sword against all the Musketeers in the kingdom as willingly as he now did against Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | It was a quarter past midday. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | The sun was in its zenith, and the spot chosen for the scene of the duel was exposed to its full ardor. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “It is very hot,” said Athos, drawing his sword in its turn, “and yet I cannot take off my doublet; for I just now felt my wound begin to bleed again, and I should not like to annoy Monsieur with the sight of blood which he has not drawn from me himself.” “That is true, Monsieur,” replied D’Artagnan, “and whether drawn by myself or another, I assure you I shall always view with regret the blood of so brave a gentleman. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | I will therefore fight in my doublet, like yourself.” “Come, come, enough of such compliments!” cried Porthos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Remember, we are waiting for our turns.” “Speak for yourself when you are inclined to utter such incongruities,” interrupted Aramis. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “For my part, I think what they say is very well said, and quite worthy of two gentlemen.” “When you please, monsieur,” said Athos, putting himself on guard. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “I waited your orders,” said D’Artagnan, crossing swords. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | But scarcely had the two rapiers clashed, when a company of the Guards of his Eminence, commanded by M. de Jussac, turned the corner of the convent. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “The cardinal’s Guards!” cried Aramis and Porthos at the same time. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Sheathe your swords, gentlemen, sheathe your swords!” But it was too late. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | The two combatants had been seen in a position which left no doubt of their intentions. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Halloo!” cried Jussac, advancing toward them and making a sign to his men to do so likewise, “halloo, Musketeers? | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Fighting here, are you? | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | And the edicts? | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | What is become of them?” “You are very generous, gentlemen of the Guards,” said Athos, full of rancor, for Jussac was one of the aggressors of the preceding day. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “If we were to see you fighting, I can assure you that we would make no effort to prevent you. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Leave us alone, then, and you will enjoy a little amusement without cost to yourselves.” “Gentlemen,” said Jussac, “it is with great regret that I pronounce the thing impossible. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Duty before everything. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Sheathe, then, if you please, and follow us.” “Monsieur,” said Aramis, parodying Jussac, “it would afford us great pleasure to obey your polite invitation if it depended upon ourselves; but unfortunately the thing is impossible—Monsieur de Tréville has forbidden it. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Pass on your way, then; it is the best thing to do.” This raillery exasperated Jussac. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “We will charge upon you, then,” said he, “if you disobey.” “There are five of them,” said Athos, half aloud, “and we are but three; we shall be beaten again, and must die on the spot, for, on my part, I declare I will never appear again before the captain as a conquered man.” Athos, Porthos, and Aramis instantly drew near one another, while Jussac drew up his soldiers. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | This short interval was sufficient to determine D’Artagnan on the part he was to take. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | It was one of those events which decide the life of a man; it was a choice between the king and the cardinal—the choice made, it must be persisted in. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | To fight, that was to disobey the law, that was to risk his head, that was to make at one blow an enemy of a minister more powerful than the king himself. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | All this the young man perceived, and yet, to his praise we speak it, he did not hesitate a second. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Turning towards Athos and his friends, “Gentlemen,” said he, “allow me to correct your words, if you please. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | You said you were but three, but it appears to me we are four.” “But you are not one of us,” said Porthos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “That’s true,” replied D’Artagnan; “I have not the uniform, but I have the spirit. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | My heart is that of a Musketeer; I feel it, monsieur, and that impels me on.” “Withdraw, young man,” cried Jussac, who doubtless, by his gestures and the expression of his countenance, had guessed D’Artagnan’s design. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “You may retire; we consent to that. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | Save your skin; begone quickly.” D’Artagnan did not budge. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Decidedly, you are a brave fellow,” said Athos, pressing the young man’s hand. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Come, come, choose your part,” replied Jussac. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Well,” said Porthos to Aramis, “we must do something.” “Monsieur is full of generosity,” said Athos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | But all three reflected upon the youth of D’Artagnan, and dreaded his inexperience. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “We should only be three, one of whom is wounded, with the addition of a boy,” resumed Athos; “and yet it will not be the less said we were four men.” “Yes, but to yield!” said Porthos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “That is difficult,” replied Athos. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | D’Artagnan comprehended their irresolution. | 5 |
Chapter V.
THE KING’S MUSKETEERS AND THE CARDINAL’S GUARDS | “Try me, gentlemen,” said he, “and I swear to you by my honor that I will not go hence if we are conquered.” “What is your name, my brave fellow?” said Athos. | 5 |
Subsets and Splits
