For all true soldiers, gentlemen;

Over the hills and far away."

"D'Artagnan ... touched the earth, moistened
with the evening dew, with the ends of his fingers,
crossed himself as if at the holy-water vessel of a
church, and retook alone—ever alone—the road to
Paris."
—The Viscount of Bragelonne.
