Oh, in about two hours; the King has been up all night.
DArtagnan took his hat again, bowed to M. de Gesvres, and returned to his own apartments. He came back at half-past nine, and was told that the King was at breakfast. That will just suit me, said dArtagnan; I will talk to the King while he is eating.
M. de Brienne reminded dArtagnan that the King would not receive any one during his repasts.
But, said dArtagnan, looking askant at De Brienne, you do not know, perhaps, Monsieur, that I have the privilege of entree anywhere and at any hour.
De Brienne took the hand of the captain kindly and said, Not at Nantes, dear M. dArtagnan; the King in this journey has changed everything.
DArtagnan, a little softened, asked about what oclock the King would have finished his breakfast.
