The cardinal alighted; the three Musketeers did likewise. The cardinal threw the bridle of his horse to his esquire; the three Musketeers fastened the horses to the shutters.
Le cardinal mit pied à terre, les trois mousquetaires en firent autant; le cardinal jeta la bride de son cheval aux mains de son écuyer, les trois mousquetaires attachèrent les brides des leurs aux contrevents.
