Language School for Children and Adults Helper of the musketeers A halberd is a pole weapon that was used during the 14th and 15th centuries. In modern-day German, the weapon is called “Hellebarde”. The halberd consists of an axe blade with a spike on a long shaft. Among other tasks, the soldiers who used hal- berds, so-called pikemen, were needed to protect the musketeers in battle. Re-loading a musket was a very slow process so the musketeers needed protection from sudden attacks while they were defenseless. Colour the You may have seen a halberd in a museum or on a tour guide.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas
THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas THE AUTHOR Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was born in a small French village northeast of Paris. His father had been a general under Napoleon, and his paternal grandfather had lived in Haiti and had married a former slave woman there, thus making Dumas what was called a quadroon. Napoleon and his father had parted on bad terms, with Dumas’ father being owed a large sum of money; the failure to pay this debt left the family poor and struggling, though the younger Dumas remained an admirer of the French emperor. Young Dumas moved to Paris in 1823 and took a job as a clerk to the Duke of Orleans (later to become King Louis Philippe), but soon began writing plays. Though his plays were successful and he made quite a handsome living from them, his profligate lifestyle (both financially and sexually) kept him constantly on the edge of bankruptcy. He played an active role in the revolution of 1830, and then turned to writing novels. As was the case with Dickens in England, his books were published in cheap newspapers in serial form. Dumas proved able to crank out popular stories at an amazing rate, and soon became the most famous writer in France. Among his works are The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1845), and The Man in the Iron Mask (1850). Dumas’ novels tend to be long and full of flowery description (some cynics suggest that this is because he was paid by the word), and for this reason often appear today in the form of abridged translations (if you ever doubt the value of such an approach, take a look at the unabridged version of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables sometime).

MUSKETEERS Ep 1 by Adrian Hodges 12.09.12
THE MUSKETEERS Ep 1 by Adrian Hodges 12.09.12 1 EXT. COUNTRYSIDE. GASCONY. DAY. 1 OPEN on rolling countryside in the ancient province of Gascony, near the Spanish border. A small party of MUSKETEERS ride their horses at walking pace. Their uniforms are distinctive though dirty from the road. The men - five of them in all - look weary. At the head of them is ATHOS (30s), a handsome man of striking aristocratic features. We know a hero when we see one, but we also might sense a hidden melancholy he is too proud to show to the world at large. At his side rides CORNET. He is still young but has an air of authority. He leads a mule with a rope tied to his saddle; the patient creature is laden with heavy saddle bags. Athos reins in his horse and turns to him. ATHOS This is as far as I go. The road is safe enough from here. Cornet extends his hand. Athos shakes it. ATHOS Go on to Bayonne and wait. Cornet nods and glances at the saddle-bags. CORNET Athos? Don’t you wonder what’s in there? ATHOS We’re not paid to be curious. (Pause) When we’re paid at all. He smiles and spurs his horse, turning back in the direction they’ve come. Cornet’s smile fades. We sense a tension in the tight line of his mouth and the way his gaze flicks restlessly around the hills. He darts a glance at his men laughing and joking a few yards behind him.

The rest of the battalion, decimated, lie dead or wounded. Three SPANISH CANNON, each with three loaders, announce their presence on a raised edge of the battlefield. In front of them the SPANISH TERCIO of ONE HUNDRED MEN, pikes at the ready, muskets picking off their FRENCH ATTACKERS. The cannon booms! ATHOS Forward! The cannon booms again. The ground trembles. The impact behind the FRENCH ATTACKERS propels mud and debris into the air, which rains down onto the battlefield. ATHOS is thrown from his saddle amongst dead and dying MEN. He forces his head up, disoriented, bleeding. Sees TWO SPANISH PIKEMEN running straight at him. ATHOS takes the arm suddenly reaching down to him and is pulled up: D’ARTAGNAN.

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.
