“ Happily Marie and a follower of hers named Kitty could disguise themselves admirably in men's clothes. The prince procured for Marie Michon the dress of a cavalier and for Kitty that of a lackey; he sent them two excellent horses, and the fugitives went out hastily from Tours, shaping their course toward Spain, trembling at the least noise, following unfrequented roads, and asking for hospitality when they found themselves where there was no inn. ”

Athos paused.
"Oh, continue!" said the duchess. "I have told you that I am prepared for anything."
"The two travelers knocked at the door. It was late; the priest, who had gone to bed, cried out to them to come in. They entered, for the door was not locked -- there is much confidence among villagers. A lamp burned in the chamber occupied by the priest. ”

"He has; he is an abbe."
"Ah, what a misfortune!" exclaimed the duchess, playing carelessly with her fan. "Indeed, sir, I thank you; you have recalled one of the most agreeable recollections of my youth."

"Relating to him?"
"Yes and no."

Athos bowed. "Aramis," he continued, "was intimate with a young needlewoman from Tours, a cousin of his, named Marie Michon."
"Ah, I knew her!" cried the duchess. ”

"You must dress yourself, Raoul," said Athos, "I am going to present you to some one." ”
