The Three Musketeers, Chapter 36 summary

Chapter 36 of 68 · 9 min to read the chapter

In Chapter 36, D’Artagnan accepts Milady’s invitation and promises to avenge her against De Wardes, while both secretly intend to use the other. His renewed desire nearly exposes his knowledge of her secret, but an invented explanation preserves her trust and secures an appointment for eleven.

What happens

  1. After D’Artagnan stays away for two evenings, Milady sends him an invitation through Kitty.
  2. Despite Kitty’s fears and his promise to Athos, D’Artagnan agrees to visit and avoids sending a written reply.
  3. Milady encourages his renewed passion and offers affection in exchange for help against an enemy.
  4. D’Artagnan names De Wardes too soon, then claims the count displays a ring and identifies Milady as its giver.
  5. He promises revenge by tomorrow and asks for more than the hope of affection before risking death.
  6. Milady arranges his return at eleven through Kitty, and he leaves reminding himself to distrust her.
