with Raoul (Grimaud accompanies and supports Raoul on the expedition.) “‘No, Raoul shall not go alone; no, he shall not be left alone in a strange land without some friendly hand to support him, some friendly heart to recall to him all he loved!’ ‘I?’ said Grimaud. ‘You, yes, you!’ cried Raoul, touched to the inmost heart.”
employer: Raoul “Raoul’s baggage in the admiral’s vessel.”

friends with Athos “These two men who had lived so long together in a community of intelligence, and whose eyes, accustomed to economize expressions, knew how to say so many things silently--these two old friends, one as noble as the other in heart, if they were unequal in fortune and birth, remained tongue-tied whilst looking at each other.”
employer: Athos “But Grimaud, fatigued as he was, refused to leave the room. He sat himself down upon the threshold, watching his master with the vigilance of a sentinel, jealous to receive either his first waking look or his last dying sigh.”
