Honestly i can say, oreos are the best brain food. typing a blog while eating oreos and listening to offensive web radio. so on to the book. well today after reading sneaky plot twists as well as mindless chatter, i finally got a taste of action! but i need to tell you all the stuff... that happened in between. so the real king is in jail, the lost king is free. so now after the king goes crazy after being in a jail cell. now D'Artagnan must attend to the matter of arresting monsieur Fouquet. so the chapter focuses on fouquets realization of his arrest and with all seriousness D'Artagnan tells him he is a light sleeper and will know if he picks up the keys or exits through a door or secret passage. morning comes and all night Fouqet can not sleep. then Aramis comes to his room to discuss matters. after D'Artagnan leaves he just spills his guts.. but not all at once he spins it in a way that requires him to think about what is happening and he eventually figures out the conspiracy. at first Fouqet is appalled by this realization then he goes of having concern over his honor and tells Aramis he needs to get out of the country because he is going to free the king and redeem his honor. this is where the action comes in. now Fouquet races to the Bastille and asks for entry. he is denied entry and totally gets pissed and grabs a pike and shanks the guard and then an officer rushes him and he shanks him too. now the prison is totally aware and the guard starts to converge on his location. then all is still the warden recognizes him and asks him whats up. he asks of Aramis doings in the prison and goes to free the king. he hears yells and thumps on the cell door and opens the door. well that's all I've read so far. i really enjoy that we finally get a glimpse of action. i kinda feel that it took a while,but i guess it was all leading up to it. i really did not see forquet betraying Aramis. it kinda just hit me with no warning. i thought he would join him with his conspiracy but i guess. not well still looking forward to this showdown i predicted, but now i think it will just be a showdown between the original musketeers and the kings forces. until next time. PEACE. here is a link i searched under musketeers in history these guys supposedly were real.http://www.leruepress.com/History %20of%20Musketeers.html
