““Well, go down to her, then, to make your request. I feel my head a little confused; I will take a turn in the garden.” “Go; and where shall I find you?” “Here, in an hour.” “Here, in an hour. Oh, you are so kind, and I am so grateful!” “How can I avoid interesting myself for one who is so beautiful and so amiable? Are you not the beloved of one of my best friends?” “Dear d’Artagnan! Oh, how he will thank you!” “I hope so. Now, then, all is agreed; let us go down.” “You are going into the garden?” “Yes.” “Go along this corridor, down a little staircase, and you are in it.”” source
