Whilst these projects were being formed by the Duc de Beaufort and Grimaud the Comte de la Fere and the Vicomte de Bragelonne were entering Paris by the Rue du Faubourg Saint Marcel. They stopped at the sign of the Fox in the Rue du Vieux Colombier a tavern known for many years by Athos and asked for two bedrooms. You must dress yourself Raoul said Athos I am going to present you to some one. To-day monsieur asked the young man. In half an hour. The young man bowed. Perhaps not being endowed with the endurance of Athos who seemed to be made of iron he would have preferred a bath in the river Seine of which he had heard so much and afterward his bed but the Comte de la Fere had spoken and he had no thought but to obey. By the way said Athos take some pains with your toilet Raoul I want you to be approved. I hope sir replied the youth smiling that there s no idea of a marriage for me you know of my engagement to Louise Athos in his turn smiled also. No don t be alarmed although it is to a lady that I am going to present you and I am anxious that you should love her ---- The young man looked at the count with a certain uneasiness but at a smile from Athos he was quickly reassured. How old is she inquired the Vicomte de Bragelonne. My dear Raoul learn once for all that that is a question which is never asked. When you can find out a woman s age by her face it is useless to ask it when you cannot do so it is indiscreet. Is she beautiful Sixteen years ago she was deemed not only the prettiest but the most graceful woman in France. This reply reassured the vicomte. A woman who had been a reigning beauty a year before he was born could not be the subject of any scheme for him. He retired to his toilet. When he reappeared Athos received him with the same paternal smile as that which he had often bestowed on D Artagnan but a more profound tenderness for Raoul was now visibly impressed upon .
