The noble carriage of this gentleman, for whom he believed himself to be engaged, had won Planchet--that was the name of the Picard. He felt a slight disappointment, however, when he saw that this place was already taken by a compeer named Mousqueton, and when Porthos signified to him that the state of his household, though great, would not support two servants, and that he must enter into the service of d’Artagnan.
La gran cara de aquel gentilhombre, a cuya cuenta se creyó contratado, había seducido a Planchet tal era el nombre del picardo ; hubo en él una ligera decepción cuando vio que el puesto estaba ya ocupado por un cofrade llamado Mosquetón y cuando Porthos le hubo manifestado que la situación de su casa, aunque grande, no soportaba dos criados, y que tenía que entrar al servicio de D'Artagnan.
