To reach England"--Athos lowered his voice--"all France, covered with spies and creatures of the cardinal, must be crossed. A passport for embarkation must be obtained; and the party must be acquainted with English in order to ask the way to London.
Om naar _Engeland_ te gaan (Athos begon zachter te spreken) moet men geheel _Frankrijk_ door, dat wemelt van spionnen en aanhangers van den kardinaal; men moet Engelsch spreken, om in _Londen_ den weg te vragen.
