About This Quote

This quote is from the famous novel "The Three Musketeers" by Alexandre Dumas. This book was super popular in the 18th century and inspired many films, television shows, and even video games. The story revolves around the character D'Artagnan who is friends with three famous musketeers. At one point, their leader, Athos, leaves them to go on a mission.

The other two musketeers are also very important characters in this work of fiction. When Athos leaves, they are forced to take on jobs that they don't want to do. D'Artagnan is no exception as he is forced to do a job as a spy.

He has no time to relax as he must do it all by himself, but at least he gets paid for his troubles.
