Porthos, seeing this, retwisted his mustache, elongated his imperial a second time, and began to make signals to a beautiful lady who was near the choir, and who not only was a beautiful lady, but still further, no doubt, a great lady--for she had behind her a Negro boy who had brought the cushion on which she knelt, and a female servant who held the emblazoned bag in which was placed the book from which she read the Mass.
Al verlo, Porthos se atusó de nuevo su mostacho, estiró una segunda vez su perilla y se puso a hacer señales a una bella dama que estaba junto al coro, y que no solamente era una bella dama, sino que sin duda se trataba de una gran dama, porque tenía tras ella un negrito que había llevado el cojín sobre el que estaba arrodillada, y una doncella que sostenía el bolso bordado con escudo de armas en que se guardaba el libro con que seguía la misa.
