〃e my brother; go with me;〃 added D'Artagnan; 〃and I will see that you are made a duke!〃
〃No;〃 answered Porthos; 〃Mouston has no desire to fight; besides; they have erected a triumphal arch for me to enter my barony; which will kill my neighbors with envy。〃
〃To that I can say nothing;〃 returned D'Artagnan; who knew the vanity of the new baron。 〃Then; here's to our next merry meeting!〃
〃Adieu; dear captain;〃 said Porthos; 〃I shall always be happy to wele you to my barony。〃
〃Yes; yes; when the campaign is over;〃 replied the Gascon。
〃His honor's equipage is waiting;〃 said Musqueton。
The two friends; after a cordial pressure of the hands; separated。 D'Artagnan was standing at the door looking after Porthos with a mournful gaze; when the baron; after walking scarcely more than twenty paces; returned stood still struck his forehead with his finger and exclaimed:
〃I recollect!〃
〃What?〃 inquired D'Artagnan。
〃Who the beggar was that I killed。〃
〃Ah! indeed! and who was he?〃
〃'Twas that low fellow; Bonancieux。〃
And Porthos; enchanted at having relieved his mind; rejoined Musqueton and they disappeared around an angle of the street。 D'Artagnan stood for an instant; mute; pensive and motionless; then; as he went in; he saw the fair Madeleine; his hostess; standing on the threshold。
〃Madeleine;〃 said the Gascon; 〃give me your apartment on the first floor; now that I am a captain in the royal musketeers I must make an appearance; nevertheless; reserve my old room on the fifth story for me; one never knows what may happen。〃
