From its place on the shelf of immortal romantic classics, we take down the three Musketeers. One spring morning in the year 1625, a young and hot tempered gentleman from the province of Gascony arrived in Paris to present himself and assured it for a visit. The captain of the king must appear to apply for permission to enter this famous regent. The name of this young man was, and he had only 10 crowns in his purse and a long sword this size. With these and an inborn courage and determination, he was resolved to conquer Paris. We find including his interview with me suited to be captain of the king's most feared.
It's a pity that you lost the letter your father gave you recommending you to me. Then it wouldn't be necessary for you to prove yourself as I told you it was stolen, sir. And if ever Providence allows me to catch up with a cowardly villain who took it, I shall What? It's me. There he goes now under your window. Excuse me, sir. Where the devil are you going to have a reckoning with the man who stole my letter? Not so fast, monsieur. Excuse me. I'm in a devil of a hurry. There's no need to be rude about it. My name is Assos. You may talk politely even if you do come from which you're deaf or evil. I don't care what your name is. I said excuse me and that should be quite enough. I also said to you that I'm in a haste, so put your hold on me. I only work in such a hurry. Gentlemen in a hurry, you can find me without running after me. Do you understand? Perfectly. Where shall we have our little discussion? Behind the Luxembourg at noon. I'll be there ten minutes before. Run, mister gentleman, as I shall soon have the pleasure of cutting your ears off.
Which way did he go? Who? The cold devil with a scar on his face. Oh, this blood clothe, let's call my cloak. His paw filter said so. Not how you add your devil's cloak. It's the cloak that has me. Monsieur, you stand a good chance of being chastised if you tangle yourself up in musketeers cloaked in a fashion. That size is a strong word, monsieur. It is indeed. And it is Portos, the musketeer who can stand behind the word. We shall see, mister Porto, if you're willing to stand behind it, say, at, 01:00 behind the Luxembourg. That suits me very well. I shall have the pleasure of killing you there. You talk almost as big as you are, monsieur.
Oh, dear. No. Mister, I'm sorry to interrupt, but did any of you see a tall gentleman with a scar on his face pass this way? No one came this way at all. No. No. Thank you, monsieur. Oh, I believe that monsieur dropped his handkerchiefs, and it's one you would be sorry to lose. You still deny that you know Madame de Bois Tracy? Look you. This handkerchief has the initials on it. You are mistaken, And so was this, gentleman. The handkerchief isn't mine. I don't know if you're a sly fox indeed. Well, I'll see you going to have a good day. Good day. Mister Adamus, I hope you will excuse me. I had no way of knowing. I suppose, monsieur, that you're not a fool and that you had a very good reason of knowing that people do not tread upon pocket handkerchiefs without a reason.
You know that, don't you? Yes, monsieur. But why did you let it fall so awkwardly out of your pocket? I have said, monsieur, that the handkerchief did not fall from my pocket. Now that we're alone, I can say that you've lied twice. Right. So it's Uh-huh. So you take it that way, do you, master Gaston? Very well. I shall teach you how to behave yourself. Unguard, monsieur. Not here. If you please. Can't you see that we're opposite the Hotel Dauguion, which is full of the cardinal's guard? Duelling is forbidden, and they'd like nothing better than an opportunity to arrest us. Very well.
They let us stay behind the Luxembourg at 02:00. That will suit me very well. Monsieur, you are punctual. As you see, I would not disappoint, monsieur. Are you expecting your seconds, Monsieur? I have none. I arrived in Paris only today. Oh, that is too bad. But I see one of mine approaching now. And what does this mean, I I thought? This is a gentleman with whom I'm going to fight. Why, but I am also going to fight with him. But not before 01:00. Wait. I am also going to fight with this gentleman, not until 02:00. En garde, Apple. That's just Fighting in the street? That's cut, gentlemen. You know it is forbidden.
I must ask you to follow us and be placed under arrest. Well, I thought, five of them and the three of us, but I shall never again report to mister De Castiglio as I conquered much. Excuse me, gentlemen. He said there were three of you, but it appears to me we are poor. Withdraw, young man. You're not a musketeer. Flee and tear your skin. Their feet do suck and I call them no guard. I do not wear the uniform, but my heart is that of a musketeer. I'll never withdraw. Let's charge them. Oh, dear, young man. I like your spirit. Sir. So have those, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, and dartagnians. Porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, porthos, and Dartos.

Paris in the seventeenth century an exciting and romantic place. But in the Louvre, there was an unhappy, lonely woman, the queen of France. An Austrian by birth, she found herself alone and friendless in the splendor of her court. Mistrusted by her husband, aided by the cardinal, surrounded by spies of his eminence who had succeeded in driving all those who would be loyal to her away from her side, she sits unhappily in her waiting room with the one friend she has left, her maid, Constance. Constance,
[00:07:01] Unknown:
Constance, you've been tricked again by the cardinal Charles and I. But your majesty didn't, he must think we learned. Would I write a letter asking the Duke of Buckingham to visit me? Why, it's worth his life and mine too as the cardinal discovered him in Paris. No. No. Depend upon it. The cardinal wrote that letter to Charles and signed my name to Your majesty? Yes. If it is here, I must see him and send him back to England and to safety forever.
[00:07:36] Unknown:
Your majesty, I have seen you only four times in my life. To each time, you are more beautiful. No, Constance. Don't go.
[00:07:46] Unknown:
I want you to escort to Duke safely out of town. Out of town. Why, your majesty? Alon,
[00:07:53] Unknown:
you must know by this time that it was not I who wrote to you. Yes. Yes. I know that I must have been mad senseless to believe that letter, but it was solely for my love of you that I dare to hope. Alon,
[00:08:06] Unknown:
let us realize that the word love can never pass our list. We are divided not only by a love can never pass our lips. We are divided not only by an ocean, but also by my husband, by two thrones, and the jealousy of two kingdoms. I beg you, my lord, to forgive
[00:08:23] Unknown:
me. If only you give me a remembrance, a keepsake so that I might always have something that would remind me of you.
[00:08:32] Unknown:
Here, my lord. Here is a pin of 12 diamonds. He doesn't know the memory of me.
[00:08:40] Unknown:
Your hand, madam. Your hand. Goodbye, dear heart. Goodbye. Goodbye. My love. You say the bustiers are outside today? Yes, sir. I trust, your majesty, that this pardon will punish these men as they deserve. Rest assured, mister the cardinal, it is not for nothing that I am called Louis the Just. Your majesty, there were three Musketeers and the fourth who is also outside is a young lad, almost a boy, an apprentice musketeer. Now, Seville, would you have me believe the three of my musketeers and a young lad who was only an apprentice put to Ralph five of the cardinal's guard and killed the great swordsman Dusak's fire.
You may see for yourself. Here they are. Oh, see this here, the cardinal. You can see for yourself. Mister Tarnion's bit but a ute. I see. And they say put to route five of the terrible guards of Monsieur the cardinal. Why do you reveal this as a victory? A complete victory. I can see your majesty that you have, as usual, prejudged the case. I can only ask that you accept my resignation Oh, my dear, miss Judith. Excuse me. I perhaps used the wrong word. And I certainly haven't made up my mind. Not made it up at all. Thank you, sire. We haven't even heard the stories yet, have we, mister Vitruvius? Your majesty, Ethos Porthos and Aramis had met this young cadet from Gascoyne, Dard Canyon, whom I'm putting into my brother in law's regiment. Thank you, sir. And they decided on an afternoon of pleasure when they were accosted by five of the cardinal's guards, all armed.
And I put it to you, sir. What would five armed men be doing behind the Luxembourg unless it were for the purpose of duel and written the edict. You are perfectly right to live. You see that too, don't you, Richard? Yes, sir. I see very well. Now all that remains is for you to reward these gallant musketeers for their bravery. I dislike sarcasm, Richelieu. Oh, I ask you mentally pardon. And as for you three musketeers of miss Jackson Rickeries, I wish to warn you gentlemen that I will not tolerate brawling. You have disabled five of the cardinal's guards, and that is quite enough, quite enough.
And now you may retire, gentlemen. Go with him, travail. Mister the cardinal and I have affairs of state with which to concern our Thank you, your majesty. Good night, your eminence. Your majesty, I offered my resignation a little earlier. You can't immediately hear it. My health is sinking under these never ending labors for France. I say that I no longer can undergo a constant struggle against those who would conspire against France and against you, sir. Oh, if you are going to start about the queen Oh, heaven forbid that the Queen should suffer the least uneasiness on my account. In a matter of fact, sir, it it wasn't to amend it at all that I was referring.
And to prove it, you know how the Queen likes dancing. Why shouldn't we have a ball in her honor? Oh, that's a capital idea, mister Gilles. Thanks, Josiah. And I hope it shows that I have no animosity towards the queen. Then it has a ball and it will give the lovely queen an opportunity to wear those beautiful diamonds that you had made into a pin for her. The ball by all means, Richardette. And we shall all be friends, your majesty, of two kind. And and and you won't forget about the diamond here. I assure you this year, the queen shall wear it. Excellent.
I should like to see how those diamonds become her majesty. The curtain rises on act two of the three Musketeers. D'Artagnan, the young Gaston, who has come to Paris to join the king's Musketeers and make his fortune, has succeeded in neither, but he has progressed. He's been admitted as a cadet in the company of Monsieur de Chevalier de Sezar, a brother-in-law of the captain of the king's musketeers. He's made firm friends with the three musketeers, Athos, Athos, and Arabi, and he's incurred the enmity of the all powerful cardinal, the duke of Richeda. The cardinal has laid a plot to sully the reputation of the queen by having the king prepare a magnificent ball in her honor and having made sure that the king will request the queen to wear a diamond pin, which the cardinal knows very well, the queen has given as a keepsake to the duke of Buckingham.
Now for act two of the three Musketeers starring Louis van Rouching as D'Artagnan. A few days later, we find D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, the firmest of friends, marching down the street with their arms linked together so that no one may pass without their connection. What do we hear? A pretty enough maid, I swear. Oh, let me pass, gentlemen.
[00:14:40] Unknown:
Please let me pass out of bed.
[00:14:43] Unknown:
Not until you tell us your name, you pretty bitch.
[00:14:47] Unknown:
My name is Constance. Do not let me pass. Not until you have played cold with a kiss.
[00:14:53] Unknown:
Our basketball gadget is picking up the habits of the musketeers very quickly. Please, please, please let me pass. What's this? What's this? Oh, a love letter from your mistress, no doubt. Please give me that, sir. Oh, not so past that, miss.
[00:15:10] Unknown:
Now you've seen the woman's footsteps and may God save the queen.
[00:15:15] Unknown:
God save me. Come, come, my girl. We're all loyal subjects to the queen. No word of this will drop from our lips. Our dad's confrenders hid upon a secret I see. If you'll all go to my lockings and wait for me, I'll have news for you. I'm sure. I will wait for you and I'll tell you. Here for me. Now my girl,
[00:15:32] Unknown:
we both serve the queen out with it. Oh, mister, can I trust you? Can she trust you? We're about wit then. We need help so badly and we know not where to turn. So long as the queen doesn't wish me to be played, Fran, you can trust me. Oh, no, mister. France isn't involved. It's the queen alone and and it's imminent.
[00:15:54] Unknown:
The cardinal? Like, tell me. I have no love for the cardinal nor his guards.
[00:15:59] Unknown:
You know the ball that his majesty is preparing for the queen most personally. It's a week from today. I know. I know. And his majesty has requested very specially that the queen wear the diamond pin he gave her. But her majesty cannot wear it because he's given it to the Duke of Buckingham is a memento on his condition that he should never see her again. To Carmel knows, he must know. And this is his way to disgrace the queen. Oh, you will? You you must help us, monsieur. Yes. But how? By taking this letter to the duke in London. We dare not trust it to the post.
Once you reach the duke, he shall find a way with you. Oh, will you, mister?
[00:16:43] Unknown:
Will you serve your queen? Give me the letter. What? Back so soon from the conversation with the pretty maid that Tanya? Get ready. Get ready. We haven't a moment to lose. Why? Are we going somewhere? To London. And how about money? Here's the bag with 300 crowns. We'll divide it equally. One for all and all for one. Agree. One for all and all for one. Agree. One for all and all for one. Agree. One for all and all for one. For four hungry men. For that's your service, gentlemen. You know I'm only an incable. I wish to drink your help. And we, yours, my lord. And now toast to the health of his eminence, the cardinal.
Gladly. If you will also drink a toast with me to his majesty, I acknowledge no other king but his eminence, and any man who does is a fool. Say you're so, landlord, dog? Then you're drunk. There can be but one reply to that. You are most certainly a fool, Porto. And gentlemen, we're leading. What? You're not going to support your comrade and you have no stomach for a fight. Aye. I'm a stupid enough knave. Go on ahead. I'll join you. Bartenia, We can gallop these poor beasts no more. They're worn out so long as they carry us. We're fortunate. What's that?
Now a few laborers repairing the roads. This morning, we sail for England, sir. Barb, this is the first dance left until night. The pin was not bad, d'Artagnan. You go and settle the horses while I pay the bill. Done. Well, landlord, what is the bill? Messenger from France to see the Duke of Buckingham. Hello, sir. Where is she? Did anything happen to others, her majesty? Here's a letter, sir. I believe she's in some great spell whom so great alone can save her. Oh, a town over here. A clever, clever town over. For he should be thwarted.
Here, Patrick, place me in the casket. Tasket in the Lord. Hurry, man. There's not a moment to lose the casket with the diamond pin. Here it is, sir. Here, m'lord. Here are the precious scones which I'd given orders to be buried with me. The queen gave them to me. The queen required them back again. Take them, m'lord. Thank you, m'lord. Now listen carefully. I will arrange for your sailing to Saint Valery, a little fishing village. When you land there, you will go to the first inn you come to. Say one word, forward.
You will be given the best horses in the country and the direction to take and the next thing to stop at. Now remember the password. Forward.
[00:21:09] Unknown:
Constance, we're lost. Lost? Not yet, your majesty. The ball hasn't started. Once piece, I'm afraid that we were betrayed by the messenger you're saying. He would never betray us, your majesty. I'm sure of that. Then the cardinal has had him killed. Oh, who is there? Your friend is I.
[00:21:29] Unknown:
Would you have to listen to it? I cannot see you. I merely came to inquire of your majesty's health. But,
[00:21:37] Unknown:
I'm not too well.
[00:21:39] Unknown:
I should not advise your majesty to plead him in this position. I should particularly like to see your majesty at the ball tonight.
[00:21:47] Unknown:
I understand your eminence. Yes.
[00:21:50] Unknown:
Oh, why your highness? Until later.
[00:22:04] Unknown:
I must go, Constance. Please, your majesty. Your messenger fails. Please, then then then just say that that you didn't wear the pin because you were afraid it might be stolen. No. That would only make matters worse. Open, my dear Constance. Oh, you're not just Open.

You will excuse me. Nay, madam. We will do better. We will accept the new exactly what I was about to suggest, your majesty. Anyway. Doctor. Vadis, you here and a recruit, d'Artagnan? Yes, sir.

Well, sire, do I have your permission to make d'Artagnan a musketeer? Of course, do as you persevere. Her majesty and I want to dance Oh, well, just a moment, mister Buckingham. You're I, I I feel that in some ways, I also should give you something as a reward for your outstanding service on that, little trip. But to your eminence, I feel that I should be most unworthy to accept it. Oh, nonsense, monsieur.
I'm offering you a captaincy. My god. I, I beg leave to refuse. Oh, do you do you then hate me so much? Not at all, your enemies. It's simply that if I accept your thought to a generous offer, I will no longer have you as my opponent. Good night, Jeremy.

Now, Seville, would you have me believe the three of my musketeers and a young lad who was only an apprentice put to Ralph five of the cardinal's guard and killed the great swordsman Dusak's fire.
You may see for yourself. Here they are. Oh, see this here, the cardinal. You can see for yourself. Mister Tarnion's bit but a ute. I see. And they say put to route five of the terrible guards of Monsieur the cardinal. Why do you reveal this as a victory? A complete victory. I can see your majesty that you have, as usual, prejudged the case. I can only ask that you accept my resignation Oh, my dear, miss Judith. Excuse me. I perhaps used the wrong word. And I certainly haven't made up my mind. Not made it up at all. Thank you, sire. We haven't even heard the stories yet, have we, mister Vitruvius? Your majesty, Ethos Porthos and Aramis had met this young cadet from Gascoyne, Dard Canyon, whom I'm putting into my brother in law's regiment. Thank you, sir. And they decided on an afternoon of pleasure when they were accosted by five of the cardinal's guards, all armed.
And I put it to you, sir. What would five armed men be doing behind the Luxembourg unless it were for the purpose of duel and written the edict. You are perfectly right to live. You see that too, don't you, Richard? Yes, sir. I see very well. Now all that remains is for you to reward these gallant musketeers for their bravery. I dislike sarcasm, Richelieu. Oh, I ask you mentally pardon. And as for you three musketeers of miss Jackson Rickeries, I wish to warn you gentlemen that I will not tolerate brawling. You have disabled five of the cardinal's guards, and that is quite enough, quite enough.
And now you may retire, gentlemen. Go with him, travail. Mister the cardinal and I have affairs of state with which to concern our Thank you, your majesty. Good night, your eminence. Your majesty, I offered my resignation a little earlier. You can't immediately hear it. My health is sinking under these never ending labors for France. I say that I no longer can undergo a constant struggle against those who would conspire against France and against you, sir. Oh, if you are going to start about the queen Oh, heaven forbid that the Queen should suffer the least uneasiness on my account. In a matter of fact, sir, it it wasn't to amend it at all that I was referring.
And to prove it, you know how the Queen likes dancing. Why shouldn't we have a ball in her honor? Oh, that's a capital idea, mister Gilles. Thanks, Josiah. And I hope it shows that I have no animosity towards the queen. Then it has a ball and it will give the lovely queen an opportunity to wear those beautiful diamonds that you had made into a pin for her. The ball by all means, Richardette. And we shall all be friends, your majesty, of two kind. And and and you won't forget about the diamond here. I assure you this year, the queen shall wear it. Excellent.
I should like to see how those diamonds become her majesty. The curtain rises on act two of the three Musketeers. D'Artagnan, the young Gaston, who has come to Paris to join the king's Musketeers and make his fortune, has succeeded in neither, but he has progressed. He's been admitted as a cadet in the company of Monsieur de Chevalier de Sezar, a brother-in-law of the captain of the king's musketeers. He's made firm friends with the three musketeers, Athos, Athos, and Arabi, and he's incurred the enmity of the all powerful cardinal, the duke of Richeda. The cardinal has laid a plot to sully the reputation of the queen by having the king prepare a magnificent ball in her honor and having made sure that the king will request the queen to wear a diamond pin, which the cardinal knows very well, the queen has given as a keepsake to the duke of Buckingham.
Now for act two of the three Musketeers starring Louis van Rouching as D'Artagnan. A few days later, we find D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, the firmest of friends, marching down the street with their arms linked together so that no one may pass without their connection. What do we hear? A pretty enough maid, I swear. Oh, let me pass, gentlemen.
[00:14:40] Unknown:
Please let me pass out of bed.
[00:14:43] Unknown:
Not until you tell us your name, you pretty bitch.
[00:14:47] Unknown:
My name is Constance. Do not let me pass. Not until you have played cold with a kiss.
[00:14:53] Unknown:
Our basketball gadget is picking up the habits of the musketeers very quickly. Please, please, please let me pass. What's this? What's this? Oh, a love letter from your mistress, no doubt. Please give me that, sir. Oh, not so past that, miss.
[00:15:10] Unknown:
Now you've seen the woman's footsteps and may God save the queen.
[00:15:15] Unknown:
God save me. Come, come, my girl. We're all loyal subjects to the queen. No word of this will drop from our lips. Our dad's confrenders hid upon a secret I see. If you'll all go to my lockings and wait for me, I'll have news for you. I'm sure. I will wait for you and I'll tell you. Here for me. Now my girl,
[00:15:32] Unknown:
we both serve the queen out with it. Oh, mister, can I trust you? Can she trust you? We're about wit then. We need help so badly and we know not where to turn. So long as the queen doesn't wish me to be played, Fran, you can trust me. Oh, no, mister. France isn't involved. It's the queen alone and and it's imminent.
[00:15:54] Unknown:
The cardinal? Like, tell me. I have no love for the cardinal nor his guards.
[00:15:59] Unknown:
You know the ball that his majesty is preparing for the queen most personally. It's a week from today. I know. I know. And his majesty has requested very specially that the queen wear the diamond pin he gave her. But her majesty cannot wear it because he's given it to the Duke of Buckingham is a memento on his condition that he should never see her again. To Carmel knows, he must know. And this is his way to disgrace the queen. Oh, you will? You you must help us, monsieur. Yes. But how? By taking this letter to the duke in London. We dare not trust it to the post.
Once you reach the duke, he shall find a way with you. Oh, will you, mister?
[00:16:43] Unknown:
Will you serve your queen? Give me the letter. What? Back so soon from the conversation with the pretty maid that Tanya? Get ready. Get ready. We haven't a moment to lose. Why? Are we going somewhere? To London. And how about money? Here's the bag with 300 crowns. We'll divide it equally. One for all and all for one. Agree. One for all and all for one. Agree. One for all and all for one. Agree. One for all and all for one. For four hungry men. For that's your service, gentlemen. You know I'm only an incable. I wish to drink your help. And we, yours, my lord. And now toast to the health of his eminence, the cardinal.
Gladly. If you will also drink a toast with me to his majesty, I acknowledge no other king but his eminence, and any man who does is a fool. Say you're so, landlord, dog? Then you're drunk. There can be but one reply to that. You are most certainly a fool, Porto. And gentlemen, we're leading. What? You're not going to support your comrade and you have no stomach for a fight. Aye. I'm a stupid enough knave. Go on ahead. I'll join you. Bartenia, We can gallop these poor beasts no more. They're worn out so long as they carry us. We're fortunate. What's that?
Now a few laborers repairing the roads. This morning, we sail for England, sir. Barb, this is the first dance left until night. The pin was not bad, d'Artagnan. You go and settle the horses while I pay the bill. Done. Well, landlord, what is the bill? Messenger from France to see the Duke of Buckingham. Hello, sir. Where is she? Did anything happen to others, her majesty? Here's a letter, sir. I believe she's in some great spell whom so great alone can save her. Oh, a town over here. A clever, clever town over. For he should be thwarted.
Here, Patrick, place me in the casket. Tasket in the Lord. Hurry, man. There's not a moment to lose the casket with the diamond pin. Here it is, sir. Here, m'lord. Here are the precious scones which I'd given orders to be buried with me. The queen gave them to me. The queen required them back again. Take them, m'lord. Thank you, m'lord. Now listen carefully. I will arrange for your sailing to Saint Valery, a little fishing village. When you land there, you will go to the first inn you come to. Say one word, forward.
You will be given the best horses in the country and the direction to take and the next thing to stop at. Now remember the password. Forward.
[00:21:09] Unknown:
Constance, we're lost. Lost? Not yet, your majesty. The ball hasn't started. Once piece, I'm afraid that we were betrayed by the messenger you're saying. He would never betray us, your majesty. I'm sure of that. Then the cardinal has had him killed. Oh, who is there? Your friend is I.
[00:21:29] Unknown:
Would you have to listen to it? I cannot see you. I merely came to inquire of your majesty's health. But,
[00:21:37] Unknown:
I'm not too well.
[00:21:39] Unknown:
I should not advise your majesty to plead him in this position. I should particularly like to see your majesty at the ball tonight.
[00:21:47] Unknown:
I understand your eminence. Yes.
[00:21:50] Unknown:
Oh, why your highness? Until later.
[00:22:04] Unknown:
I must go, Constance. Please, your majesty. Your messenger fails. Please, then then then just say that that you didn't wear the pin because you were afraid it might be stolen. No. That would only make matters worse. Open, my dear Constance. Oh, you're not just Open.
[00:22:22] Unknown:
These badges will be awake so high, miss.
[00:22:25] Unknown:
I am going, Constance.
[00:22:40] Unknown:
Who is this? Hi, Dottanian. Oh, Good evening, William. Good evening, Sire. Miss Germ, you are looking exceedingly well tonight. Thank you, Sire. Exactly so. I just remarked to his majesty that I've never seen you look so ravenishingly beautiful. But your majesty, where are the diamonds, the pin his majesty gave you? Your eminence and fire.
[00:23:22] Unknown:
I, would Your majesty. Your majesty. Excuse me. They I, would Your majesty. Your majesty. Excuse me. They exceed me, but her majesty forgot her diamond pin. Constance, yes, your majesty. It's in your chamber. The way in you I thought your majesty should like to have it. Yes. I I should like it very much.
[00:23:41] Unknown:
You will excuse me. Nay, madam. We will do better. We will accept the new exactly what I was about to suggest, your majesty. Anyway. Doctor. Vadis, you here and a recruit, d'Artagnan? Yes, sir. I came to tell you that with your permission, mister D'Artagnan is to be a recruit no longer. As of this evening, I would like your gracious permission to make him a full fled musketeer.
[00:24:17] Unknown:
Here, your majesty. Here is the pin. Thank you, Constance. Is it not beautiful, your eminence? Madame,
[00:24:28] Unknown:
I cannot admire it enough. It's indeed of surpassing William. And if it were not so, striking, I would say that it's almost miraculous. Well, sire, do I have your permission to make d'Artagnan a musketeer? Of course, do as you persevere. Her majesty and I want to dance Oh, well, just a moment, mister Buckingham. You're I, I I feel that in some ways, I also should give you something as a reward for your outstanding service on that, little trip. But to your eminence, I feel that I should be most unworthy to accept it. Oh, nonsense, monsieur.
I'm offering you a captaincy. My god. I, I beg leave to refuse. Oh, do you do you then hate me so much? Not at all, your enemies. It's simply that if I accept your thought to a generous offer, I will no longer have you as my opponent. Good night, Jeremy.
