I should like to speak a few words with you, Chevalier,” stammered the maid.
“Speak, my dear, speak,” said D’Artagnan; “I am all attention.”
“Here? That’s impossible. What I have to say is too long, and, still more, too secret.”
“Well, what is to be done?”
“If you will follow me?” said Kitty timidly.
“Wherever you please.”
“Come, then.”
And Kitty, who had not let go D’Artagnan’s hand, led him up a little dark, winding staircase, and, after ascending about fifteen steps, opened a door.Come in here, Chevalier,” said she; “here we shall be alone, and can talk.”
“And whose chamber is this, my pretty friend?”
“It is mine, Chevalier. It communicates with my mistress’s by that door. But you need not fear; she will not hear what we say; she never goes to bed before midnight.”
