Louis
XIV
absorbed
all
the
smaller
stars
of
his
court
in
his
own
vast
radiance
;
but
his
father
,
a
sun
PLURIBUS
IMPAR
,
left
his
personal
splendor
to
each
of
his
favorites
,
his
individual
value
to
each
of
his
courtiers
.
In
addition
to
the
leeves
of
the
king
and
the
cardinal
,
there
might
be
reckoned
in
Paris
at
that
time
more
than
two
hundred
smaller
but
still
noteworthy
leeves
.
Among
these
two
hundred
leeves
,
that
of
Treville
was
one
of
the
most
sought
.
132
The
court
of
his
hotel
,
situated
in
the
Rue
du
Vieux-Colombier
,
resembled
a
camp
from
by
six
o'clock
in
the
morning
in
summer
and
eight
o'clock
in
winter
.
133
From
fifty
to
sixty
Musketeers
,
who
appeared
to
replace
one
another
in
order
always
to
present
an
imposing
number
,
paraded
constantly
,
armed
to
the
teeth
and
ready
for
anything
.
On
one
of
those
immense
staircases
,
upon
whose
space
modern
civilization
would
build
a
whole
house
,
ascended
and
descended
the
office
seekers
of
Paris
,
who
ran
after
any
sort
of
favor
--
gentlemen
from
the
provinces
anxious
to
be
enrolled
,
and
servants
in
all
sorts
of
liveries
,
bringing
and
carrying
messages
between
their
masters
and
M.
de
Treville
.
In
the
antechamber
,
upon
long
circular
benches
,
reposed
the
elect
;
that
is
to
say
,
those
who
were
called
.
In
this
apartment
a
continued
buzzing
prevailed
from
morning
till
night
,
while
M.
de
Treville
,
in
his
office
contiguous
to
this
antechamber
,
received
visits
,
listened
to
complaints
,
gave
his
orders
,
and
like
the
king
in
his
balcony
at
the
Louvre
,
had
only
to
place
himself
at
the
window
to
review
both
his
men
and
arms
.

The
day
on
which
d'Artagnan
presented
himself
the
assemblage
was
imposing
,
particularly
for
a
provincial
just
arriving
from
his
province
.
It
is
true
that
this
provincial
was
a
Gascon
;
and
that
,
particularly
at
this
period
,
the
compatriots
of
d'Artagnan
had
the
reputation
of
not
being
easily
intimidated
.
When
he
had
once
passed
the
massive
door
covered
with
long
square-headed
nails
,
he
fell
into
the
midst
of
a
troop
of
swordsmen
,
who
crossed
one
another
in
their
passage
,
calling
out
,
quarreling
,
and
playing
tricks
one
with
another
.
In
order
to
make
one
's
way
amid
these
turbulent
and
conflicting
waves
,
it
was
necessary
to
be
an
officer
,
a
great
noble
,
or
a
pretty
woman
.
135
It
was
,
then
,
into
the
midst
of
this
tumult
and
disorder
that
our
young
man
advanced
with
a
beating
heat
,
ranging
his
long
rapier
up
his
lanky
leg
,
and
keeping
one
hand
on
the
edge
of
his
cap
,
with
that
half-smile
of
the
embarrassed
a
provincial
who
wishes
to
put
on
a
good
face
.
When
he
had
passed
one
group
he
began
to
breathe
more
freely
;
but
he
could
not
help
observing
that
they
turned
round
to
look
at
him
,
and
for
the
first
time
in
his
life
d'Artagnan
,
who
had
till
that
day
entertained
a
very
good
opinion
of
himself
,
felt
ridiculous
.
136
Arrived
at
the
staircase
,
it
was
still
worse
.
There
were
four
Musketeers
on
the
bottom
steps
,
amusing
themselves
with
the
following
exercise
,
while
ten
or
twelve
of
their
comrades
waited
upon
the
landing
place
to
take
their
turn
in
the
sport
.
137
One
of
them
,
stationed
upon
the
top
stair
,
naked
sword
in
hand
,
prevented
,
or
at
least
endeavored
to
prevent
,
the
three
others
from
ascending
.

These
three
others
fenced
against
him
with
their
agile
swords
.
139
D'Artagnan
at
first
took
these
weapons
for
foils
,
and
believed
them
to
be
buttoned
;
but
he
soon
perceived
by
certain
scratches
that
every
weapon
was
pointed
and
sharpened
,
and
that
at
each
of
these
scratches
not
only
the
spectators
,
but
even
the
actors
themselves
,
laughed
like
so
many
madmen
.
140
He
who
at
the
moment
occupied
the
upper
step
kept
his
adversaries
marvelously
in
check
.
A
circle
was
formed
around
them
.
The
conditions
required
that
at
every
hit
the
man
touched
should
quit
the
game
,
yielding
his
turn
for
the
benefit
of
the
adversary
who
had
hit
him
.
