"It appears so."
"And do you know what has become of him?"
"No, I never saw him until that moment, and have not seen him since."
"Very well; I know all that I wish to know. Porthos's chamber is, you say, on the first story, Number One?"
"Yes, monsieur, the handsomest in the inn—a chamber that I could have let ten times over."
"Bah! Be satisfied," said d'Artagnan, laughing, "Porthos will pay you with the money of the Duchess Coquenard."
