The union of physical pain with moral uneasiness had produced the effect so long desired. Aramis, suffering at once in body and mind, had at length fixed his eyes and his thoughts upon religion, and he had considered as a warning from heaven the double accident which had happened to him; that is to say, the sudden disappearance of his mistress and the wound in his shoulder.
La réunion de la douleur physique à la douleur morale avait produit l'effet si longtemps désiré: Aramis, souffrant à la fois du corps et de l'âme, avait enfin arrêté sur la religion ses yeux et sa pensée, et il avait regardé comme un avertissement du Ciel le double accident qui lui était arrivé, c'est-à-dire la disparition subite de sa maîtresse et sa blessure à l'épaule.
