Traitor's Chase Quotes

“Milady fixed him with a hard stare. “We’re not dead weight, you know. We can contribute as much to this mission as you do.” “Two girls?” Athos snorted. “Not a chance.” “Do any of you speak Spanish?” Milady asked. An uncomfortable silence fell over the Musketeers. “Do you?” Aramis asked. “I wasn’t given the job of handmaiden to the future queen simply for my charming personality,” Milady said curtly. “Anne doesn’t speak a word of French. Pero hablo bien el español.” “What’s that mean?” Athos asked. “That I’m going to be able to get along much better in Spain by knowing the language than you are by wielding a sword,” Milady replied. “What did you think you were going to do, barge around the country waving your weapons until everyone suddenly learned to speak French?” Even Aramis reddened at the insult to their plan. “We felt we could get by,” he explained. “I can speak Latin.

There were four falconers, a squadron of soldiers, two dozen servants, and a coterie of distant relatives and other hangers-on. Despite all the attendants, King Louis was the only one allowed to participate in any of the actual falconry—although in truth, Louis really just sat on his horse and had other people do everything for him. The falconers brought him the birds. A stable boy held the reins of his horse. There were even servants armed with parasols to shade the king from the sun. And for what? At the far end of the field, a gamekeeper would release a previously captured dove. Then, with great fanfare, Louis would remove the blindfold from his falcon, which would take off—and kill the dove. That was it. To make it all worse, even if Greg had wanted to watch one bird kill another, the attack generally happened very far away, often quite high up in the sky, so that it merely looked like one dot flying into a slightly smaller dot. While Greg found the whole process mind-numbing, everyone else seemed absolutely enthralled. Even Aramis, who Greg wouldn’t have expected to root for the death of anything, was beside”
