Porthos and Aramis were so engaged with their game, and Athos was watching them with so much attention, that they did not even perceive their young companion go out, who, as he had told the Guardsman of his Eminence, stopped outside the door. An instant after, the Guardsman descended in his turn.
Porthos y Aramis estaban tan ocupados con su partido y Athos los miraba con tanta atención que no vieron siquiera salir a su joven compañero, que, como había dicho al guardia de Su Eminencia, se detuvo en la puerta; un momento después, éste bajaba a su vez.
