She gave it a day. She gave it a day, too, when Porthos vanished, she looked for him in every place she could think him to be, she thought maybe he had been kidnapped, but no.
But this is worse. This is Athos, this is like her father disappearing, going off to war and never coming home, this is (and she is ashamed to say it) someone she loves more than she loves the memory of her father, for that's dim where Athos is and has been right there for so long.
The house is so quiet, it seems. The dogs sleep in the barn.
Lucy knocks carefully on d'Artagnan's door. This is not proper. She's in her nightgown and her hair is tied back in a braid and she thinks (hopes) he will understand because she just wants a little comfort.
Athos is gone.
What is she supposed to do? They are likely to go to war and she knows d'Artagnan will go where he is called, and she will go where she is called, and that's that. But Athos is gone.]
