Porthos was in bed, and was playing a game at LANSQUENET with Mousqueton, to keep his hand in; while a spit loaded with partridges was turning before the fire, and on each side of a large chimneypiece, over two chafing dishes, were boiling two stewpans, from which exhaled a double odor of rabbit and fish stews, rejoicing to the smell.
Porthos estaba acostado y jugaba una partida de sacanete con Mosquetón para entretener la mano, mientras un asador cargado con perdices giraba ante el fuego y en cada rincón de una gran chimenea hervían sobre dos hornillos dos cacerolas de las que salía doble olor a estofado de conejo y a caldereta de pescado que alegraba el olfato.
