Sách Twenty years after alexandre dumas

Thanks to what Aramis had told him, D'Artagnan, who knew already that
Porthos called himself Du Vallon, was now aware that he styled himself, from
his estate, De Bracieux; and that he was, on account of this estate, engaged in a
lawsuit with the Bishop of Noyon. It was, then, in the neighborhood of Noyon
that he must seek that estate. His itinerary was promptly determined: he would
go to Dammartin, from which place two roads diverge, one toward Soissons, the
other toward Compiegne; there he would inquire concerning the Bracieux estate
and go to the right or to the left according to the information obtained.
