“It is some time since we heard from his mistress,” said Athos, in a low voice. “But take no notice; we know all about that.”

“You say she is in a convent?” replied Porthos.
“Yes.”
“Very well. As soon as the siege is over, we’ll carry her off from that convent.”
“But we must first learn what convent she is in.”
“That’s true,” said Porthos.
