They found him up, less pale than when d’Artagnan left him after his first visit, and seated at a table on which, though he was alone, was spread enough for four persons. This dinner consisted of meats nicely dressed, choice wines, and superb fruit.
Lo encontraron de pie, menos pálido de lo que lo había visto D'Artagnan durante su primera visita, y sentado a una mesa en la que, aunque estuviese solo, había comida para cuatro personas; aquella comida se componía de viandas galanamente aderezadas, de vinos escogidos y de frutos soberbios.
