14 Lord de Winter’s Revenge

CHAPTER 14 Lord de Winter's Revenge "At last!" D'Artagnan cried when he learned the news. "Thank you, Athos. It was a great idea to meet at the Bastion Saint- Gervais. The Cardinal even seems to like us more for the bravery we showed there. And I've come up with an idea for warning the Duke and the Queen. We will write letters to each of them." "I believe we should write to Lord de Winter, instead of the Duke," Aramis said. "With the Cardinal's spies everywhere, we

第十四章温特勋爵的复仇“终于！”达达尼昂得知这个消息后哭了。 “谢谢你，阿多斯。在圣热尔韦堡垒见面是个好主意。 枢机主教似乎更喜欢我们在那里表现出的勇敢。 我想到了一个办法去警告公爵和王后。 我们会给他们每个人写信。” “我认为我们应该写信给德温特勋爵，而不是公爵，”阿拉米斯说。 红衣主教的密探到处都是，我们

would never be able to get a letter to the Duke. And Lord de Winter may be able to stop Milady." The others agreed, and Aramis began to compose a letter. "If I am to warn Lord de Winter about his sister-in-law, I will need more information about her," he said. "What else do you know about Milady?" D'Artagnan looked at Athos, who thought for a while before finally telling the others about her. "She is a thief," he said. "She escaped from prison and married Lord de Winter's brother, who died shortly afterward. It is likely that she killed him to inherit his fortune." "How did you learn this?" Porthos asked. "I knew her before she met Lord de Winter's brother," Athos said. "She was my wife. When I discovered her secret, she tried to kill me."

就永远也得不到公爵的信了 温特伯爵也许能阻止夫人。” 其他人都同意了，于是阿拉米斯开始写信。 “如果我要提醒德温特伯爵提防他的嫂子，我需要更多关于她的信息。”他说。 “关于夫人，你还知道些什么？”达达尼昂看着阿托斯，阿托斯想了一会儿，最后把她的情况告诉了其他人。 “她是个小偷，”他说。 她从监狱里逃了出来，嫁给了德温特勋爵的哥哥，他不久就去世了。 她很可能为了继承他的财产而杀了他。” “你是怎么知道的？”Porthos问道。 “在她遇见德温特公爵的哥哥之前，我就认识她了。”阿托斯说。 “她是我的妻子。当我发现她的秘密时，她想杀了我。”

"It seems we Musketeers are not so lucky in love," Porthos said, and laughed bitterly. "How do we warn the Queen?" Athos asked. "If we go to her, the Cardinal will surely see us." "I can help," Aramis said. "The woman I love is one of the Queen's seamstresses. She has helped us in the past. The last time the Duke was in Paris, in fact." So Aramis wrote one letter to Lord de Winter, and one to his love, asking her to warn the Queen. The Musketeers sent Planchet to London with the letter for Lord de Winter, and asked Bazin to deliver the letter to the seamstress. Meanwhile, Milady was on a ship headed for London. She was furious with D'Artagnan for insulting her and with Athos for threatening her. She was anxious to complete her mission in London so she could return to France and take revenge.

“看来我们这些火枪手在爱情上就没那么幸运了。”波托斯苦笑着说。 “我们怎么警告王后？”阿多斯问道。 “如果我们去找她，红衣主教一定会看到我们的。” “我可以帮忙，”阿拉米斯说。 “我爱的女人是女王的一个女裁缝。 她过去曾帮助过我们。 事实上，那是公爵上次在巴黎的时候。” 于是阿拉米斯给德温特勋爵写了一封信，给他的爱人写了一封信，请她提醒王后。 火枪手派普朗歇带着给德温特勋爵的信去伦敦，并请巴赞把信交给女裁缝。 与此同时，米拉迪正在一艘开往伦敦的船上。 她对达达尼昂侮辱她，对阿多斯威胁她，感到非常愤怒。 她急于完成在伦敦的任务，这样她就可以回到法国进行报复。

After several days, her ship approached London's harbor. Before they landed, a smaller boat came out to meet them. A young man dressed in a naval officer's uniform boarded the ship and asked Milady to come with him. "But I'm Lady Clarik," Milady said with a perfect English accent. "Lord de Winter is my brother-in-law." "I'm sorry," the young officer said. "You must come with me. Those are my orders." When they reached the shore, the young officer took her to a castle far from London. He walked her to the tower and led her to a small room with a heavy door that locked from the outside. "I see I am a prisoner," Milady said. "Is this to be my cell?" "Please stay here," the officer said. "Someone will explain everything soon." Milady was even angrier than before. The

几天后，她的船靠近了伦敦港。 在他们上岸之前，一艘小船出来迎接他们。 一个穿着海军军官制服的年轻人登上了船，请夫人和他一起去。 “但我是克拉丽夫人，”夫人用一口纯正的英国口音说。 “温特大人是我姐夫。” “对不起，”年轻的军官说。 “你一定要跟我走。这是我的命令。” 当他们到达岸边时，年轻的军官把她带到一个远离伦敦的城堡。 他陪她走到塔楼，领她走进一间小房间，门很重，从外面锁着。 “我知道我是一个囚犯，”米拉迪说。 “这是我的牢房吗？”“请留在这里，”警官说。 “很快就会有人解释的。” 夫人比以前更生气了。 的

Musketeers must have warned the Duke of Buckingham, she thought. After a short time in her cell, Milady heard the door open and Lord de Winter entered. "Hello, sister-in-law," he said. "Welcome to my castle." "You!" she said. "Then I am your prisoner? What is this about?" "You've decided to return to England," he said, ignoring her question. "I came to see you," Milady said.

火枪手一定警告过白金汉公爵，她想。 夫人在牢房里待了一会儿，听到门开了，德温特勋爵走了进来。 “你好，嫂子，”他说。 “欢迎来到我的城堡。”“你！”她说。 “那么我是你的囚犯了？”这是怎么回事？”“你已经决定回英国了，”他说，没有理会她的问题。 “我是来看你的，”夫人说。

"What's wrong with wanting to see my brother-in-law?" "Come, Milady," Lord de Winter said. "I know your secret. I received a letter from the Musketeers. I believe you know them. One of them used to be your husband. I know you and the Cardinal have some mischief in mind for the Duke of Buckingham. Well, none of that will happen. You will stay here for a time and then I shall have you sent far away. If you ever return to England, I will make sure you are sent back to prison." Lord de Winter left and Milady sat next to the window watching the sea. She tried to think of a way to escape. After a few days in her cell, Milady learned that the young officer who had brought her to the castle was named Felton. He came to see her several times a day, to deliver food and ask if she needed anything. This gave Milady an idea. She knew men found her

“想见我姐夫有什么不对吗？”“来吧，夫人。”温特伯爵说。 “我知道你的秘密。我收到一封火枪手的信。 我相信你认识他们。其中一个曾经是你的丈夫。 我知道你和红衣主教对白金汉公爵有所图谋。 好吧，这些都不会发生。 你在这里住上一段时间，然后我会派人把你送到很远的地方去。 如果你再回到英国，我一定会把你送回监狱。” 温特勋爵走了，夫人坐在窗边看海。 她努力想办法逃跑。 在牢房里呆了几天后，夫人得知把她带到城堡来的年轻军官名叫费尔顿。 他每天来看她几次，送食物，问她是否需要什么。 这给了夫人一个主意。她知道男人会找到她
