On his way to the capital, however, he is robbed of his letter of introduction and has to convince Monsieur de Treville, the captain of the King’s musketeers. No sooner did he manage to get a meeting with Treville, however, D’Artagnan sees the man who robbed him out of a window, and dashes after him, barging into three of the King’s Musketeers—Athos, Porthos and Aramis, and mortally offending them.
