The Three Musketeers, Chapter 49 summary

Chapter 49 of 68 · 11 min to read the chapter

In Chapter 49, Milady abandons her plan to return to France for revenge and reaches Portsmouth, where an English officer takes her into custody under the cover of routine supervision. He brings her to an isolated castle, where she discovers that her captor is Lord de Winter, whom she addresses as her brother.

What happens

  1. Milady wants to return to France for revenge, but delays and fear of the cardinal’s anger persuade her to continue toward England.
  2. At Portsmouth, she sees Buckingham overseeing naval preparations and measures the strength she has orders to undermine.
  3. An officer boards her ship, examines its passengers, and escorts her ashore, claiming that government supervision applies to arrivals.
  4. The carriage leaves the city, and Milady’s demands, cries for help, and changing manner fail to move the officer.
  5. At an isolated coastal castle, barred windows and external bolts confirm that her assigned room is a prison.
  6. Lord de Winter appears, identifies the castle as his own, and dismisses the officer as Mr. Felton.
