DAVIDSON, M.A (Formerly Scholar of Keble College, Oxford) "Vastus animus immoderata, incredibilia, Nimis alta semper cupiebat." (Sallust, Catilina V) PHILADELPHIA J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY Ltd Westminster : ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO 1902 Butler & Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome, and London. ^l&'il^li — Preface IT may be—to be exact, it is—a somewhat presumptuous thing to write a book and call it Alexandre Dumas. There is no question here of introducing an unknown man or discovering an unrecognized genius. Dumas is, and has been for the better part of a century, the property of all the world : there can be little new to say about one of whom so much has already been said. Remembering also, as I do, a dictum by one of our best known men of letters to the effect that the adequate biographer of Dumas neither is nor is likely to be, I accept the saying at this moment with all the imfeigned humility which experience entitles me to claim. My own behef on this point is that, if we could conceive a writer who combined in himself the anecdotal facility of Suetonius or Saint Simon, with the loaded brevity of Tacitus and the judicial irony of Gibbon, such an one might essay the task with a reasonable prospect of success—though, after all, the probability is that he would be quite out of S5nnpathy with Dumas. -

The Three Musketeers and the Queen's Gambit Adventure
The Three Musketeers and the Queen’s Gambit A Fantasy Imperium Adventure By George Anderson For ORIGINS 2008 Adventure Synopsis In this adventure the Musketeers are charged to escort Constance Bonacieux, Lady in Waiting to the Queen while she delivers an important personal message on behalf of the Queen to Duke Jean Louis de Nogaret de la Valette. Naturally, the Musketeers are to be found drinking and wenching. While Constance is retrieving the Musketeers a tavern brawl fight breaks out. The Musketeers eventually begin the journey. The first stop is a small way station just as the Musketeers are getting thirsty. At the way station the Musketeers find bandits plying their trade and in the act of stealing a necklace from the beautiful daughter of the innkeeper. If they intervene she (and her father) will be ever so grateful. In either event, they enjoy a night of carousing (or rest) before departing the next day. As they are assembling to leave, a patrol of the Cardinal’s Men spots them and gives chase! Naturally if they aided the innkeeper’s daughter the day before, they will drag a cart across the road just in time to give the Musketeers a head start. The Musketeers continue their journey which takes them through a dark wood. In the wood they encounter a sizeable patrol, but they find a cave to hide in. If they explore the cave, the will find an ugly giant living there, though if they make the attempt they can befriend him. The Cardinal’s men will eventually begin to explore the cave. -
Alexandre Dumas, the Three Musketeers (Chapters 4 and 5)
Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers (Chapters 4 and 5) It is young D’Artagnan’s first day in Paris, having come there in hopes of becoming a Musketeer. While he is visiting the chief Musketeer, Treville, he looks out the window and notices a man who had insulted him a day or two before walking in the street. D’Artagnan bursts out, hoping to fight the man. D’Artagnan, in a state of fury, crossed the antechamber at three bounds, and was darting toward the stairs, which he reckoned upon descending four at a time, when, in his heedless course, he ran head foremost against a Musketeer who was coming out of one of M. de Treville’s private rooms, and striking his shoulder violently, made him utter a cry, or rather a howl. “Excuse me,” said d’Artagnan, endeavoring to resume his course, “excuse me, but I am in a hurry.” Scarcely had he descended the first stair, when a hand of iron seized him by the belt and stopped him. “You are in a hurry?” said the Musketeer, as pale as a sheet. “Under that pretense you run against me! You say, ‘Excuse me,’ and you believe that is sufficient? Not at all, my young man. Do you fancy because you have heard Monsieur de Treville speak to us a little cavalierly today that other people are to treat us as he speaks to us? Undeceive yourself, comrade, you are not Monsieur de Treville.” “My faith!” replied d’Artagnan, recognizing Athos, who, after the dressing performed by the doctor, was returning to his own apartment. -

4 ` Cicero' on the (Theatre) Stage
4 CI` CERO' ON THE(THEATRE) STAGE The earliest dramas in which ‘Cicero’ appears on stage as acharacter date from the last quarter of the sixteenth century: apiece in France, one in Germany and (at least) three in Britain were produced in fairly quick succession. In all of these ‘Cicero’ is not the protagonist after whom the plays are named; instead, he is a more or less important figure involved in the dramatic action. 4.1 Robert Garnier, Corne´ lie (1574) Context Robert Garnier ( c. 1545–1590) studied law and did legal work in Paris before becoming amagistrate in his native district of Maine (a region in France) and later amember of the Grand Conseil du Royaume in Paris. From his student days onwards Garnier wrote literary works, starting with lyric and later turning to dramatic poetry.Heisnow regarded as one of the most significant French dramatists of the sixteenth century. The majority of Garnier’splays dramatize stories from the ancient world: Porcie (1568), Corne´ lie (1574), Hippolyte (1574), Marc-Antoine (1578), La Troade (1579) and Antigone (1580). At the same time the themes have contemporary resonance: the pieces share an emphasis on civil war,are characterized by arepublican outlook and were published during the turbulent period of the French Wars of Religion.1 As for their form, Garnier’splays feature little dramatic action and rather consist of an alternation of rhetorically developed speeches and choruses; they are based on the model of Seneca’sLatin tragedies.2 28 R EVIVING C ICEROIN D RAMA Corne´ lie was first performed in 1573; it was first published in 1574 and then included in an edition of Garnier’stragedies in 1585. -

As Alexandre Dumas père’s four heroes are perpetuated by cinema, literature, theater, music, advertisement and any kind of fixed image, they are maintained in the cultural environment –they are known by all. However, the novel contains never ending passages, its dialogues are sometimes excessively stretched, and the characters’ defects are such that d’Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis should be perceived as anti-heroes. -
