D’Artagnan threw down a yet-smoking pistol which he held in his hand, and fell on his knees before his mistress. Athos replaced his in his belt; Porthos and Aramis, who held their drawn swords in their hands, returned them to their scabbards.
D’Artagnan wierp een nog rookend pistool van zich af, dat hij, binnenkomende, in de hand hield, en viel voor zijn minnares op de knieën; Athos stak het zijne in zijn gordel, en Porthos en Aramis staken hun degens weder in de scheede.
