Do you not come in the king's name ?" "For Heaven's sake, monseigneur," replied the captain, "leave the king alone! The day on which I shall come on the part of the king, for the purpose you mean, take my word for it, I will not leave you long in doubt.

You will see me place my hand on my sword, according to the _ordonnance_, and you will hear my say at once, in ceremonial voice, 'Monseigneur, in the name of the king, I arrest you!'" "You promise me that frankness ?" said the superintendent.
"Upon my honor! But we have not come to that, believe me." "What makes you think that, M.d'Artagnan?
For my part, I think quite the contrary." "I have heard speak of nothing of the kind," replied D'Artagnan.
"Eh! eh!" said Fouquet.
"Indeed, no.

You are an agreeable man, in spite of your fever.

The king should not, cannot help loving you, at the bottom of his heart." Fouquet's expression implied doubt.

"But M.Colbert ?" said he; "does M.
Colbert love me as much as you say ?" "I am not speaking of M.Colbert," replied D'Artagnan.
