"I was pretty drunk yesterday, d’Artagnan," said he, "I can tell that by my tongue, which was swollen and hot this morning, and by my pulse, which was very tremulous. I wager that I uttered a thousand extravagances."
«J'étais bien ivre hier, mon cher d'Artagnan, dit-il, j'ai senti cela ce matin à ma langue, qui était encore fort épaisse, et à mon pouls qui était encore fort agité; je parie que j'ai dit mille extravagances.»
