“Has either the one or the other confided anything to you by word of mouth?”
On the evening of the day after the arrest of poor Bonacieux, as Athos had just left D’Artagnan to go to M. de Tréville, as nine o’clock had just struck, and as Planchet, who had not yet made the bed, was beginning his task, a knocking was heard at the street door. The door was instantly opened and shut: some one was caught in the mouse-trap.
D’Artagnan flew to his peek-hole, and laid himself down on the floor at full length to listen.
Cries were soon heard, and then moans, which some one was endeavouring to stifle. There were no questionings.
“The devil!” said D’Artagnan to himself; “it’s a woman—they are searching her—she resists—they use force—the scoundrels!”
In spite of all his prudence, D’Artagnan had as much as he could do not to take part in the scene that was going on below.
