Quotes:
From The Four Musketeers: Milady's Revenge (1974)
D'Artagnan: [reciting from memory the letter Richelieu wrote giving Milady de Winter permission to kill Buckingham, d'Artagnan and Constance, as Richelieu reads the actual note which D'Artagnan has handed him] "By my order and for the good of the state, the bearer has done what has been done."
Cardinal Richelieu: Hm. One should be careful what one writes...
[he tears up the note]
Cardinal Richelieu: and to whom one gives it. I must bear those rules in mind.
