"Well, then, since she has left Paris, and you are sure of it, d'Artagnan, nothing prevents me, and I am ready to follow you.
You say we are going--" "To see Athos now, and if you will come thither, I beg you to make haste, for we have lost much time already.

A PROPOS, inform Bazin." "Will Bazin go with us ?" asked Aramis.
"Perhaps so.

At all events, it is best that he should follow us to Athos's." Aramis called Bazin, and, after having ordered him to join them at Athos's residence, said "Let us go then," at the same time taking his cloak, sword, and three pistols, opening uselessly two or three drawers to see if he could not find stray coin.

When well assured this search was superfluous, he followed d'Artagnan, wondering to himself how this young Guardsman should know so well who the lady was to whom he had given hospitality, and that he should know better than himself what had become of her.
Only as they went out Aramis placed his hand upon the arm of d'Artagnan, and looking at him earnestly, "You have not spoken of this lady ?" said he.
"To nobody in the world." "Not even to Athos or Porthos ?" "I have not breathed a syllable to them." "Good enough!" Tranquil on this important point, Aramis continued his way with d'Artagnan, and both soon arrived at Athos's dwelling.

They found him holding his leave of absence in one hand, and M.de Treville's note in the other.
"Can you explain to me what signify this leave of absence and this letter, which I have just received ?" said the astonished Athos.
My dear Athos, I wish, as your health absolutely requires it, that you should rest for a fortnight.
