D’Artagnan would have remonstrated at this; but Athos put his hand upon his shoulder, with a smile, and d’Artagnan understood that it was all very well for such a little Gascon gentleman as himself to drive a bargain, but not for a man who had the bearing of a prince.
D'Artagnan quería hacer entonces algunas observaciones, pero Athos le ponía la mano sobre el hombro sonriendo y D'Artagnan comprendía que era bueno para él, pequeño geltilhombre gascón, regatear, pero no para un hombre que tenía aires de príncipe.
