Life events

D’Artagnan discovers that Jupenet’s cart contains packages full of printing types.(Chapter67 · 📍 La Roche-Bernard)
- With: D’Artagnan
- “under which stood the poet’s little cart, and poked the point of his poniard into the stuff which enveloped one of the packages, which he found full of types, like those which the poet had in his pocket.”

with D’Artagnan (They become acquainted as dining companions; the comparison to brothers is not a kinship claim.) “D’Artagnan and his guest bowed, sat down opposite to each other, and, like two brothers, shared the bacon and the other dishes.”

with Fouquet (Jupenet belongs to Fouquet’s household and serves there as a printer.) “‘And now,’ said D’Artagnan, ‘that shabby-looking man, who accompanies M. Getard, is he also of the household of M. Fouquet?’ ‘Oh! yes,’ said Porthos, with contempt; ‘it is one M. Jupenet, or Juponet, a sort of poet.’ ‘Who is come to establish himself here?’ ‘I believe so.’ ‘I thought M. Fouquet had poets enough, yonder—Scudery, Loret, Pelisson, La Fontaine? If I must tell you the truth, Porthos, that poet disgraces you.’ ‘Eh!—my friend; but what saves us is that he is not here as a poet.’ ‘As what, then, is he?’ ‘As printer.’”
