Gentlemen, we are arrived; take the gate on the left.

The watchword is, 'King and Re.'" Saying these words, the cardinal saluted the three friends with an inclination of his head, and took the right hand, followed by his attendant--for that night he himself slept in the camp.
"Well!" said Porthos and Aramis together, as soon as the cardinal was out of hearing, "well, he signed the paper she required!" "I know it," said Athos, coolly, "since here it is." And the three friends did not exchange another word till they reached their quarters, except to give the watchword to the sentinels.

Only they sent Mousqueton to tell Planchet that his master was requested, the instant that he left the trenches, to come to the quarters of the Musketeers.
Milady, as Athos had foreseen, on finding the two men that awaited her, made no difficulty in following them.

She had had for an instant an inclination to be reconducted to the cardinal, and relate everything to him; but a revelation on her part would bring about a revelation on the part of Athos.

She might say that Athos had hanged her; but then Athos would tell that she was branded.
