30 D’ARTAGNAN AND THE ENGLISHMAND’Artagnan followed Milady without being perceived by her. He saw her get into her carriage, and heard her order the coachman to drive to St. Germain.
It was useless to try to keep pace on foot with a carriage drawn by two powerful horses. D’Artagnan therefore returned to the Rue Ferou.
In the Rue de Seine he met Planchet, who had stopped before the house of a pastry cook, and was contemplating with ecstasy a cake of the most appetizing appearance.
He ordered him to go and saddle two horses in M. de Treville’s stables--one for himself, d’Artagnan, and one for Planchet--and bring them to Athos’s place. Once for all, Treville had placed his stable at d’Artagnan’s service.
Planchet proceeded toward the Rue du Colombier, and d’Artagnan toward the Rue Ferou.
