The prince turned round at the moment when Raoul, in order to leave him alone with Athos, was shutting the door, and preparing to go with the other officers into an adjoining apartment. “Is that the young man I have heard M. le Prince speak so highly of?” asked M. de Beaufort. “It is, monseigneur.” “He is quite the soldier; let him stay, count, we cannot spare him.” “Remain, Raoul, since monseigneur permits it,” said Athos.
