Il faisait tailler à Mousqueton des pourpoints dans ses vieux habits et dans ses manteaux de rechange, et, grâce à un tailleur fort intelligent qui lui remettait ses hardes à neuf en les retournant, et dont la femme était soupçonnée de vouloir faire descendre Porthos de ses habitudes aristocratiques, Mousqueton faisait à la suite de son maître fort bonne figure.
