This immediately recalled to D’Artagnan’s mind the handkerchief he had found at the feet of Madame Bonacieux, which had reminded him of the one he had dragged from under Aramis’s foot.
“What the devil could that handkerchief mean?”
Placed where he was, D’Artagnan could not see the face of Aramis. We say the face of Aramis, because the young man entertained no doubt that it was his friend who held this dialogue inside with the lady outside. Curiosity prevailed over prudence, and taking advantage of the preoccupation in which the sightMadame Bonacieux and the duke entered the Louvre without difficulty. Madame Bonacieux was known to belong to the queen; the duke wore the uniform of the musketeers of M. de TrĂ©ville, who, as we have said, were that evening on guard.
Buckingham, on being left alone, walked towards a mirror. His musketeer’s uniform became him wonderfully well.
