Since the four friends had been each in search of his equipments, there had been no fixed meeting between them.

They dined apart from one another, wherever they might happen to be, or rather where they could.
Duty likewise on its part took a portion of that precious time which was gliding away so rapidly--only they had agreed to meet once a week, about one o'clock, at the residence of Athos, seeing that he, in agreement with the vow he had formed, did not pass over the threshold of his door.
This day of reunion was the same day as that on which Kitty came to find d'Artagnan.

He found Athos and Aramis philosophizing.

Aramis had some slight inclination to resume the cassock.

Athos, according to his system, neither encouraged nor dissuaded him.
