Context

“at least that is what I should have done in your place. When any one opens a door for me I always avail myself of it.” “Yes, yes, and I thank you, for I have availed myself of it.” “And you have done perfectly right. Every man has his own peculiar secrets with which others have nothing to do. But let us return to Aramis, monseigneur.” “Well, then, I tell you, you could not have called loud enough, or Aramis would have heard you.” “However softly any one may call Aramis, monseigneur, Aramis always hears when he has an interest in hearing.” source
