"Yes, monsieur," said d’Artagnan, bowing, "we have had that honor. We even have, as you may have heard, introduced a barrel of powder under one of the angles, which in blowing up made a very pretty breach. Without reckoning that as the bastion was not built yesterday all the rest of the building was badly shaken."
Sí, señor respondió D'Artagnan inclinándose , hemos tenido ese honor; incluso hemos metido, como habéis podido oír, bajo uno de los ángulos, un barril de pólvora que al estallar ha hecho una hermosa brecha; sin contar con que, como el bastión no era de ayer, todo el resto de la obra ha quedado tambaleándose.
