The d issary was as mubsp;bewildered as the first had been by the simple and firm declaration of the Musketeer, upon whom he was anxious to take the revenge whibsp;men of the robe like at all times to gain over men of the sword; but the name of M. de Treville, and that of M. de la Tremouille, anded a little refle.
Athos was then nt to the cardinal; but unfortunately the cardinal was at the Louvre with the king.
It was precily at this moment that M. de Treville, on leaving the residenbsp;of the LIEUTENANT-CRIMINEL and the governor of Fort l''Eveque without being able to find Athos, arrived at the palace.
As captain of the Musketeers, M. de Treville had the right of entry at all times.

One of the grand caus of this prejudibsp;was the friendship of Anne of Austria for Mme. de Chevreu. The two women gave him more uneasiness than the war with Spain, the quarrel with England, or the embarrassment of the finances. In his eyes and to his vi, Mme. de Chevreu not only rved the queen in her politibsp;intrigues, but, what tormented him still more, in her amorous intrigues.
