"Moliere."
"Moliere, yes. 'And so,' went on M. Moliere, 'you want to draw your sword, monsieur, and you have your doublet on your back. What do you do?'
"'I take it off,' I answered.
"'Well, no,' he replied.
"'How no?'
"'I say that the dress should be so well made, that it will in no way enc.u.mber you, even in drawing your sword.'
"'Ah, ah!'
"'Throw yourself on guard,' pursued he.
"I did it with such wondrous firmness, that two panes of gla.s.s burst out of the window.
""Tis nothing, nothing,' said he. 'Keep your position.'
"I raised my left arm in the air, the forearm gracefully bent, the ruffle drooping, and my wrist curved, while my right arm, half extended, securely covered my wrist with the elbow, and my breast with the wrist."
"Yes," said D'Artagnan, "'tis the true guard--the academic guard."
"You have said the very word, dear friend. In the meanwhile, Voliere--"
"Moliere."
"Hold! I should certainly, after all, prefer to call him--what did you say his other name was?"
"Poquelin."
"I prefer to call him Poquelin."
"And how will you remember this name better than the other?"
"You understand, he calls himself Poquelin, does he not?"
"Yes."
"If I were to call to mind Madame Coquenard."
"Good."
"And change _Coc_ into _Poc_, _nard_ into _lin_; and instead of Coquenard I shall have Poquelin."
"'Tis wonderful," cried D'Artagnan, astounded. "Go on, my friend, I am listening to you with admiration."
"This Coquelin sketched my arm on the gla.s.s."
"I beg your pardon--Poquelin."
"What did I say, then?"
"You said Coquelin."
"Ah! true. This Poquelin, then, sketched my arm on the gla.s.s; but he took his time over it; he kept looking at me a good deal. The fact is, that I must have been looking particularly handsome."
"'Does it weary you?' he asked.
"'A little,' I replied, bending a little in my hands, 'but I could hold out for an hour or so longer.'
"'No, no, I will not allow it; the willing fellows will make it a duty to support your arms, as of old, men supported those of the prophet.'
"'Very good,' I answered.
"'That will not be humiliating to you?'
"'My friend,' said I, 'there is, I think, a great difference between being supported and being measured.'"
"The distinction is full of the soundest sense," interrupted D'Artagnan.
"Then," continued Porthos, "he made a sign: two lads approached; one supported my left arm, while the other, with infinite address, supported my right."
"'Another, my man,' cried he. A third approached. 'Support monsieur by the waist,' said he. The _garcon_ complied."
"So that you were at rest?" asked D'Artagnan.
"Perfectly; and Pocquenard drew me on the gla.s.s."
"Poquelin, my friend."
"Poquelin--you are right. Stay, decidedly I prefer calling him Voliere."
"Yes; and then it was over, wasn't it?"
"During that time Voliere drew me as I appeared in the mirror."
"'Twas delicate in him."
"I much like the plan; it is respectful, and keeps every one in his place."
"And there it ended?"
"Without a soul having touched me, my friend."
"Except the three _garcons_ who supported you."
"Doubtless; but I have, I think, already explained to you the difference there is between supporting and measuring."
