"I can imagine that; but when you get thoroughly bored, by-and-by, what do you intend to do?"
"Oh! I shall not be here for any length of time. Aramis is waiting until the last bump on my head disappears, in order to present me to the king, who I am told cannot endure the sight of a bump."
"Aramis is still in Paris, then?"
"No."
"Whereabouts is he, then?"
"At Fontainebleau."
"Alone?"
"With M. Fouquet."
"Very good. But do you happen to know one thing?"
"No, tell it me, and then I shall know."
