“In that case I shall carry you off with me.”
“Exactly; and I will go and get my horse saddled.”
“You have horses here, then?”
“I have five.”
“You had them sent from Pierrefonds, I suppose?”
“No, M.
Fouquet gave them to me.”
“My dear Porthos, we shall not want five horses for two persons; besides, I have already three in Paris, which would make eight, and that will be too many.”
“It would not be too many if I had some of my servants here; but, alas! I have not got them.”
