Dogtanian and Pip are returning to Paris but decide to stop enjoy the view and relax before returning. After Pip has made some remarks about Dogtanian's feelings about Juliette Dogtanian chases him and they run into a beautiful lady. After asking about the Dagger Dogtanian received from the Duke of Buckingham Dogtanian escorts her down to the river. "Little do Pip and Dogtanian realise that this beautiful and seductive female is none other than Milady, Cardinal Richelieu's cunning and ruthless spy."
Dogtanian is fighting his rival François LaVache, son of the Mayor, with wooden swords and beats him easily. A Musketeer from Paris watches on his way to meet the noblest man in Béarn and congratulates Dogtanian on his victory. François rushes home assuming he's there to meet his father, but Dogtanian sees the Musketeer arrive at his house. We find out that Dogtanian's father is friends with Monsieur de Treville, Captain of the Musketeers...
On the road to Meune, Dogtanian is insulted by a cavalier with a black moustache, who calls him a country bumpkin.
