"Of park?" "Yes; we will reckon up the meadows presently, and the woods afterwards." "Whereabouts, monsieur?" "At your chateau." "Oh, monsieur le baron, I have neither chateau, nor park, nor meadows, nor woods." "What have you got, then?" inquired Porthos, "and why do you call it a country-seat?" "I did not call it a country-seat, monsieur le baron," replied Planchet, somewhat humiliated, "but a country-box." "Ah, ah! I understand. You are modest." "No, monsieur le baron, I speak the plain truth. I have rooms for a couple of friends, that's all." "But in that case, whereabouts do your friends walk?" "In the first place, they can walk about the king's forest, which is very beautiful." "Yes, I know the forest is very fine," said Porthos; "nearly as beautiful as my forest at Berry." |
