In Their Own Words

"“Lord bless us! this is modesty indeed! Had I such a uniform as your eminence possesses, I protest I should be mightily content, and I would take an oath never to wear any other costume——”"
"“Amen!” exclaimed D’Artagnan, stopping the carriage."
"“A favorite! no, indeed!” cried D’Artagnan. “Ah, my poor friend! I am just as poor a Gascon as when I saw you at Meung, twenty-two years ago, you know; alas!”"
