As Dogtanian continues his long journey to Paris he's soaked by a passing coach. He catches up to the coach and complains angrily to the driver when Julliette comes out and dries him off with her handkerchief. Juliette then tells Dogtanian he's on the outskirts of Paris...
Dogtanian is fighting his rival François LaVache, son of the Mayor, with wooden swords and beats him easily. A Musketeer from Paris watches on his way to meet the noblest man in Béarn and congratulates Dogtanian on his victory. François rushes home assuming he's there to meet his father, but Dogtanian sees the Musketeer arrive at his house. We find out that Dogtanian's father is friends with Monsieur de Treville, Captain of the Musketeers...
On the road to Meune, Dogtanian is insulted by a cavalier with a black moustache, who calls him a country bumpkin.
