The Evil One

In these chapters d'Artagnan finally finds the lady from Mueng. Her name is Clarice de Winter. She is an agent of the Cardinals. She is ruthless when she wants to get revenge on someone and sweet when she needs to be. D'Artagnan falls in love with her. What a surprise! But the twist is that her servant falls in love with him, and all along the lady from Mueng only wants revenge on d'Artagnan. For more than one reason. But he finds that out and uses the poor servant's (Kitty) love to help him plot against her. After he gets away with breaking de Winters heart he is so stupid and tells her the whole thing her did, all because she said she "loved" him. So then she gets very mad and somehow in the struggle to get away from d'Artagnan her robe comes down and he sees the mark of a criminal. Then she gets even more enraged and gets out a gold knife and starts chasing him around her room. He does get to Kitty's room and out but he had to put on a dress or go naked.

My reaction to this is that d'Artagnan is so very very very stupid! I cannot believe he actually told her about his plot and that he would think she loved him. And it was so mean to use Kitty like that, and not to head Athos's warning. Right now I don't even really want to finish the book because I don't think he could get in anymore trouble and I don't see how he will get himself out of this mess.
