De Baisemeaux to return in time for dessert, and he kept his word.

Excerpt from The Romances of Alexandre Dumas, Vol. 1: Louise De La Valliere, Being Adventures of the Vicomte De Bragelonne All the vigilance of the musketeer was then, for the moment, devoted to watching Porthos. And let us hasten to say, Porthos did not deserve all this mistrust. Porthos had no thoughts of evil. Perhaps, on first seeing him, d'artagnan had inspired him with a little suspicion; but almost immediately d'artagnan had re conquered in that good and brave heart the place he had always occupied, and not the least cloud darkened the great eye of Porthos, fixed from time to time with fondness on his friend.

The Vicomte de Bragelonne Volume 1 By Alexandre Dumas It is now 1660, and although promised the captaincy of the musketeers at the close of Twenty Years After, D'Artagnan is still trailing his sword in the Louvre as a lowly lieutenant. Louis XIV is well past the age where he should rule, but the ailing Cardinal Mazarin refuses to relinquish the reins of power. Meanwhile, Charles II, a king without a country, travels Europe seeking aid from his fellow monarchs. Athos still resides at La Fère while his son, Raoul de Bragelonne, has entered into the service in the household of M. le Prince. As for Raoul, he has his eyes on an entirely different object than his father - his childhood companion, Louise de la Vallière, with whom he is hopelessly in love. Porthos, now a baron, is off on some mysterious mission along with Aramis, who is now the Bishop of Vannes.

Excerpt from Le Vicomte de Bragelonne, Vol. 1 Monsmm descendit de cheval sans dire un mot, passa dans son appartement, où son valet de chambre le changea d'habits, et comme Mamma n'avait pas encore envoyé prendre les ordres pour le déjeuner, Monsuzun s'étendit sur une chaise longue et s'en dormit d'aussi bon coeur que s'il eût été onze heures du soir. Les huit gardes qui comprenaient que leur service était fini pour le reste de la journée, se couchèrent sur des bancs de pierre au soleil les palefreniers disparurent avec leurs chevaux dans les écuries, et, à part quelques joyeux oiseaux s'efl'arouchant les uns les autres avec des pépitemens aigus, dans les touffes de giroflées on eût dit qu'au château tout dormait comme monseigneur. Tout à coup, au milieu de ce silence si doux, retentit un éclat de rire nerveux, éclatant, qui fit ouvrir un oeil à quelques-uns des hallebardiers en foncés dans leur sieste. Cet éclat de rire partait d'une croisée du château, visitée en ce moment par le soleil, qui l'englobait dans un de ces grands angles que dessinent avant midi, sur les murs, les profils des cheminées. Le petit balcon de fer ciselé qui s'avançait au delà de cette fenètre était meublé d'un pot de giroilées rouges, d'un autre pot de primevères et d'un rosier hâtif, dont le feuillage, d'un vert magnifique était diapré de plusieurs paillettes rouges annonçant des roses. Dans la chambre qn'é clairait cette fenètre, on voyait une table carrée revètue d'une vieille tapisserie à larges fleurs de Harlem; au milieu de cette table une fiole de grès a long cou, dans laquelle plongeaient des iris et du muguet; à chacune des extrémités de cette table une jeune fille. L'attitude de ces deux enfans était singuhere: on les eût prises pour deux pension naires échappées du couvent. L'une, les deux coudes appuyés sur la table, une plume a la main, traçait des caractères sur une feuille de beau papier de Hollande; l'autre. A genoux sur une chaise, ce qui lui permettait de s'avancer de la tète et. Du buste par dessus le dossier et jusqu'en pleine table, regardait sa compagne écrire ou plutôt hésiter à écrire. De là mille cris, mille railleries, mille rires, dont l'un, plus éclatant que les autres, avait effrayé les oiseaux des ravenelles et troublé le sommeil des gardes de Monsmun.
