    Not that I've read it, but I'm watching The Corsican Brother's, starring Douglas Fairbanks jr. Dumas wrote that aswell, so maybe you could check it out!

His works simply excel.
    REALLY? You're right , I just, err, read it in the book...

    Thanks I'll have to check it out. I know there’re a lot of movies made from his books and that was something I was hoping to look into down the road.

    I love your handle, Nubian Queen! Very regal and welcome to the forum!

    My apologies, Musketeer! I totally skipped over your post! As far as Henriette’s concerned I recalled liking her but you’ll have to refresh my memory because it’s been awhile since I read the series. And there are no such things as stupid questions whatsoever! Even though that’s a cliché of type it’s so true so ask whatever you please! : )

    I’m not sure I know what you mean by kulp and three pages ago – help me out! Sorry.

    Tanks.
    when Henriette maries Philip (the young one) then she is talking so rude about de Cuiche, there stil love her.
    in 20 years, then it is her there is in love whith de cuiche.
    and she is also very mean to Louise.
    And I just wornderd if you ever made that klup that Aramis were talking about, i mean on the first page last mail ,from Aramis, som think about a little corner of the sky, making a klup to make people exided in Dumas.
    but eny way if you don´t now eny about it , then i´m sure it is becorse that they never made it.

    No problem, Musketeer and thank you for refreshing my memory! As far as a club none has been set up because those who enjoy Dumas don't really post very much so this is kind of it. Right now just you and me!

    You know Musketeer I felt the same way you did after finishing the Man in the Iron Mask. I think after some research I found somewhere that he fell to his death in an escape attempt but I'm not sure. I know much of it's made up but some people believe there really was a twin locked up. Oh well, whatcha gonna do, right?

    Right now I'm reading a biography on Edgar Allan Poe and I'm supposed to be reading the Return of the Native by Hardy with the book club on this forum but I haven't gotten past the first few pages yet. I'm giving my copy of HP6 to my sister this weekend. Also going to read Sleepy Hollow with the book club here on Halloween!

    But I would definitely recommend trying some of Dumas' other works once you finish Potter. Do let me know how you like Potter won't you?

    You know, I read in the newspaper the other day that someone's done a load of research, and he's got a theory that the man in the iron mask was actually D'Artagnan! He's got some evidence and stuff, but it all sounds a bit far-fetched to me.
    All about but cannot be seen,
    Can be captured, cannot be held,
    No throat, but can be heard.

    Far-fetched indeed! They actually have some facts about the real D'Artagnan and they know when he died so yep - far-fetched!

    Yeah. According to this expert guy, D'Artagnan's death was faked by Louis XIV's minister so that he could lock D'Artagnan up in the Bastille, and he was really only wounded when he fell on the battlefield. I don't believe a word of it, personally.

    How did you like it? I'm going away for the weekend and I'm planning on reading it during the flight.
