After breakfast, it was agreed that they should meet again in the evening at Athos''s lodging, and there finish their plans.
D''Artagnan pasd the day in exhibiting his Musketeer''s uniform in every street of the camp.
In the evening, at the appointed hour, the four friends met. There only remained three things to decide--what they should write to Milady''s brother; what they should write to the clever person at Tours; and whibsp;should be the lackeys to carry the letters.
Everyone offered his own. Athos talked of the discretion of Grimaud, who never spoke a word but when his master unlocked his mouth. Porthos boasted of the strength of Mousqueton, who was big enough to thrash four men of ordinary size. Aramis, fiding in the address of Bazin, made a pompous eulogium on his didate.

The four virtues disputed the prize for a length of time, and gave birth to magnifit speeches whibsp;we do not repeat here for fear they should be deemed too long.
