I must immediately have audience
With the Duke de Bellegarde.
HALBERDIER (lowering his halberd, aside).
Ah, these gallants!
MUSKETEER.
Enter, madame.
[She enters with determined step.
HALBERDIER (aside, watching her from the corner of his eye).
Well, the old duke is not
As feeble as he looks. This rendezvous
Would have cost him a sojourn in the Louvre,
In former times.
MUSKETEER (making sign to Halberdier to keep still).
The door is open.
