(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1898. Being a continuation in what is known as The D Artagnan Romances, this is the third part of The Vicomte de Bragelonne. Believing D Artagnan occupied at Fontainebleau and Porthos safely tucked away at Paris, Aramis holds a funeral for the dead Franciscan, but in fact, Aramis is wrong in both suppositions. D Artagnan has left Fontainebleau, bored to tears by the fetes, retrieved Porthos, and is visiting the country-house of Planchet, his old lackey. This house happens to be right next door to the graveyard, and upon observing Aramis at this funeral, and his subsequent meeting with a mysterious hooded lady, D Artagnan, suspicions aroused, resolves to make a little trouble for the bishop. He presents Porthos to the king at the same time as Fouquet presents Aramis, thereby surprising the wily prelate. Aramis s professions of affection and innocence do only a little to allay D Artagnan s concerns, and he continues to regard Aramis s actions with a curious and wary eye. Meanwhile, much to his delight, Porthos is invited to dine with the king as a result of his presentation, and with D Artagnan s guidance, manages to behave in such a manner as to procure the king s marked favor. And, so the story begins. Another great read from Dumas. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
