loose , half-drunk , imposing , the queen 's musketeers , or rather m. de treville 's , spread themselves about in the cabarets , in the public walks , and the public sports , shouting , twisting their ringlets , clanking their swords , and taking great pleasure in annoying the guards of the cardinal whenever they could fall in with them ; then drawing in the open streets , as if it were the best of all possible sports ; sometimes killed , but sure in that case to be both wept and avenged ; often killing others , but then certain of not rotting in prison , m. de treville being there to claim them .
