[The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas]@TWC D-Link bookThe Three Musketeers 38 HOW, WITHOUT INCOMMODING HIMSELF, ATHOS PROCURES HIS EQUIPMENT 3/13
We are going according to all probability to La Rochelle, and once gone--" "She will follow you to the end of the world, Athos, if she recognizes you.
Let her, then, exhaust her vengeance on me alone!" "My dear friend, of what consequence is it if she kills me ?" said Athos. "Do you, perchance, think I set any great store by life ?" "There is something horribly mysterious under all this, Athos; this woman is one of the cardinal's spies, I am sure of that." "In that case, take care! If the cardinal does not hold you in high admiration for the affair of London, he entertains a great hatred for you; but as, considering everything, he cannot accuse you openly, and as hatred must be satisfied, particularly when it's a cardinal's hatred, take care of yourself.
If you go out, do not go out alone; when you eat, use every precaution.
Mistrust everything, in short, even your own shadow." "Fortunately," said d'Artagnan, "all this will be only necessary till after tomorrow evening, for when once with the army, we shall have, I hope, only men to dread." "In the meantime," said Athos, "I renounce my plan of seclusion, and wherever you go, I will go with you.
You must return to the Rue des Fossoyeurs; I will accompany you." "But however near it may be," replied d'Artagnan, "I cannot go thither in this guise." "That's true," said Athos, and he rang the bell. Grimaud entered. Athos made him a sign to go to d'Artagnan's residence, and bring back some clothes.
