D'artagnan is portrayed tangling with count de rochefort or the "man from meung", whose name was unbeknown to young gascon:
"there are people who laugh at a horse that would not dare to laugh at its master," cried the young emulator of the terrible treville. "i do not often laugh, sir," replied the unknown, "as you may perceive by the air of my countenance; but i claim, nevertheless, the privilege of laughing when i please. " "and i," cried d'artagnan, "will allow no man to laugh when it displeases me!". Date: 19th century.
