Porthos forces Blaisois and Mousqueton into the sea to escape the felucca.(Chapter72)
- With: Porthos Mousqueton
- “‘Come along! I shall strangle you both if you don’t get out,’ said Porthos at last, seizing Mousqueton by the throat. ‘Forward, Blaisois!’ A groan, stifled by the grasp of Porthos, was all the reply of poor Blaisois, for the giant, taking him neck and heels, plunged him into the water headforemost, pushing him out of the window as if he had been a plank. ‘Now, Mousqueton,’ he said, ‘I hope you don’t mean to desert your master?’ ‘Ah, sir,’ replied Mousqueton, his eyes filling with tears, ‘why did you re-enter the army? We were all so happy in the Château de Pierrefonds!’ And without any other complaint, passive and obedient, either from true devotion to his master or from the example set by Blaisois, Mousqueton leaped into the sea headforemost.”
