The Guards, under the command of M. Dessessart, took up their quarters at the Minimes; but, as we know, d’Artagnan, possessed with ambition to enter the Musketeers, had formed but few friendships among his comrades, and he felt himself isolated and given up to his own reflections.
Les gardes, sous le commandement de M. des Essarts, avaient leur logement aux Minimes. Mais nous le savons, d'Artagnan, préoccupé de l'ambition de passer aux mousquetaires, avait rarement fait amitié avec ses camarades; il se trouvait donc isolé et livré à ses propres réflexions.
