• D’un autre côté, comme l’avait prévu Athos, Milady, en retrouvant à la porte les hommes qui l’attendaient, ne fit aucune difficulté de les suivre; elle avait bien eu l’envie un instant de se faire reconduire devant le cardinal et de lui tout raconter, mais une révélation de sa part amenait une révélation de la part d’Athos: elle dirait bien qu’Athos l’avait pendue, mais Athos dirait qu’elle était marquée; elle pensa qu’il valait donc encore mieux garder le silence, partir discrètement, accomplir avec son habileté ordinaire la mission difficile dont elle s’était chargée, puis, toutes les choses accomplies à la satisfaction du cardinal, venir lui réclamer sa vengeance.On the other hand, as Athos had planned, Milady, when he found at the door the men who were waiting for him, did not make any difficulty in following them; she had been enticed for a moment to be taken back before the cardinal and to tell him everything, but a revelation on her part brought a revelation from Athos: she would say that Athos had hanged, but Athos would say that she was marked; she thought that it was therefore even better to keep silence, to leave discreetly, to carry out with her ordinary skill the difficult mission which she had entrusted herself with, then, all the things accomplished to the satisfaction of the cardinal, to come and demand her vengeance.B2Les Trois Mousquetaires
