What I have noticed throughout this book is that, even though these great fighters, who are loyal and courageous, they never have any money. The only time they are rewarded for their works is in the beginning of the novel, in Chapter 6, when they take out the Cardinal's men. Besides that, they always struggled to equip themselves due to lack of money, and, even with such a challenge, they always managed to equip themselves, there were a few times where they didn't even have equipment.
What I got out of this is the value of our heroes. They do not fight for money, they fight because of their loyalty to the king. They do not live miserably, but they don't seem to have much money to spare.

Loyal and Brave. Yet Broke?

When it comes to heroes, I usually think of someone who supports and fight for nobler causes. Money is usually the last thing, a hero should expect in return for his or her hard work. Dumas might have intended for that to happen so it would give a more heroic like appearance to the three musketeers.
I notice that the blog is shorter this time, but still relates strongly to the topic. It was good that you made a mention of the reasons the musketeers are fighting for.
