Chapter XIII
TWO FRIENDS. We will now follow the two young men sent by the king. Scarcely on horseback, Ernanton and St. Maline, determined that one should not get before the other, nearly crushed each other in the gateway. The face of St. Maline became purple, and that of Ernanton pale. "You hurt me, monsieur," cried the former; "do you wish to crush me?"
