Porthos had his fits. On the days when he won he was insolent and ostentatious; if he lost, he disappeared completely for several days, after which he reappeared with a pale face and thinner person, but with money in his purse.
Porthos avait des fougues: ces jours-là, s'il gagnait, on le voyait insolent et splendide; s'il perdait, il disparaissait complètement pendant quelques jours, après lesquels il reparaissait le visage blême et la mine allongée, mais avec de l'argent dans ses poches.
