“Without losing a minute.”
“Very well! and now summon M. d’Artagnan; I hope you are no longer afraid of him.”
“Oh, sire, from the very moment I am sure of your majesty’s kind disposition, I no longer fear anything!”
“Call him, then,” said the king.
Manicamp opened the door, and said, “Gentlemen, the king wishes you to return.”
D’Artagnan, Saint-Aignan, and Valot entered.
“Gentlemen,” said the king, “I summoned you for the purposes of saying that Monsieur de Manicamp’s explanation has entirely satisfied me.”
