After only a short time in Paris, our young Gascon has evolved, as did Monsieur de Treville, from being a country boy to being a power to be reckoned with in the King’s Musketeers. He is now a friend of the cardinal and also a defender of the queen. The other musketeers are happy and living their own individual lives. Here, as in most nineteenth-century novels, all’s well that ends well.
