Up to that period, the place which Aramis had held in the worthy governor’s estimation was that of a prelate whom he respected and a friend to whom he owed a debt of gratitude; but now he felt himself an inferior, and that Aramis was his master. He himself lighted a lantern, summoned a turnkey, and said, returning to Aramis, “I am at your orders, monseigneur.” Aramis merely nodded his head, as much as to say, “Very good”; and signed to him with his hand to lead the way. Baisemeaux advanced, and Aramis followed him. It was a calm and lovely starlit night; the steps of three men resounded on the flags of the terraces, and the clinking of the keys hanging from the jailer’s girdle made itself heard up to the stories of the towers, as if to remind the prisoners that the liberty of earth was a luxury beyond their reach.”This hardbound, durable copy will outlast any paperback and is a welcome gift for the bibliophiles and Dumas fans in your life.The minimalistic cover and classic interior design are a perfect fit for the collector's bookshelf.This original English translation without annotations is ideal for the classroom or homeschool library.Use in the study of 19th century literature, alongside 17th century French and European history.This edition is book 6 in the Musketeer Series linked on this page.
