"The plot thickens. Cardinal Richelieu, learning of the secret meeting between the Queen and Buckingham, and of the gift of the diamonds, persuades the King to hold a special birthday ball in the Queen's honor commanding that she wear the precious diamonds." |

"The Cardinal knows all. Though I am innocent and have ever been faithful to my Lord, I am lost! My God! My God! Have pity on me." |
|
|
|
"Who can I trust? A letter, were it to fall into the Cardinal's hands, would bring about my destruction." |

"Oh, madame, such a letter will never be taken from d'Artagnan before it reaches Milord Duke." |
|
|
"I am Kitty, monsieur, kitchen maid to the Queen. I have a letter from her Majesty." |
|
|
"The Queen can turn to no one but her true and devoted cavalier, d'Artagnan, for upon him depends her honor, and perhaps her life..." |

"You must go to London and deliver the sealed letter to Milord, Duke of Buckingham, and return to Paris with the diamonds before the birthday ball." |
|
|
|
"I place full confidence in you, my brave d'Artagnan." |
|
|
"Courage, but above all, prudence. Your life does not belong to you but is devoted to the one cause of Her Majesty!" |
|

|
|

|
"Be satisfied, my dear Constance! I shall return worthy of the Queen's gratitude and worthy of your love." |
|
|
"I must reveal the secret to Monsieur de Treville if I am to obtain a leave of absence." |
|
|
"Reveal the Queen's secret? Oh, no, monsieur. Oh, I have failed and the Queen shall be betrayed..." |

"Take heart, little one. This letter is as sacred as my life. Parole d'honneur! by my word as a nobleman, her Majesty will not be compromised." |
|
|
"Oh, may God protect our Queen...and you, monsieur." |
|
"God will protect us all. And I shall return with the diamonds!" |

|
"Never betray a secret given you in honorable faith, d'Artagnan, no not even to the worthiest of friends." |
|
"Be assured the Cardinal knows of your enterprise. You will be assassinated before you reach the gates of Paris. In order that one may arrive in London, four must set out." |
|
|
"We are sworn, once and forever as Musketeers, to fidelity against all proof. Be on your guard. If a woman should approach you by the name, Milady, beware. She is the most treacherous and evil of the Cardinal's spies." |
