Lord de Winter had announced her embarkation for the 23d, and it was now the morning of the 22d.
The supper was served; milady felt that she stood in need of all her strength; she did not know what might take place during this night, which approached so menacingly; for large masses of cloud rolled over the face of the heavens, and distant lightning announced a storm.
On her side, milady was going to endeavor to encourage Felton in his project; but at the first words that issued from her mouth, she plainly saw that the young fanatic stood more in need of being moderated than urged on.

De Winter points out Milady’s fury to Felton and again warns him, but this time, Milady notices that Felton seems to have a tiny bit of pity for her.
This show of spiritual earnestness deeply touches young Felton because his religion embraces repentent sinners and elevates martyrs, Milady asks Felton for a favor which he is quick to deny, but he continues to listen to her story, especially when she suggests that de Winter plans to plunge her into shame with Buckingham.
Milady explains that de Winter’s brother (her late husband) learned about her past, but married her and promised to kill Buckingham.

In his evil machinations, Richelieu is served by the ruthless Milady de Winter, who will stop at nothing to fulfil her mission: to humiliate the Queen and destroy her sworn enemy, d'Artagnan...

 The Four Musketeers (1974)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
A key player in 'the game' is Milady de Winter (Faye Dunaway, in one of her best roles), who agrees to eliminate Buckingham, if Richelieu will pardon 'in advance' her plans to murder D'Artagnan and his ladylove, Constance (Raquel Welch).
Milady is a calculating, insensitive monster, and as the depth of her potential for evil becomes known, the darkness that is introduced nearly overcomes the film.
Finally captured by the four Musketeers, her doom, while justified, is a jarring counterpoint to the earlier adventures of the happy-go-lucky quartet.

As soon as Lord de Winter saw Buckingham was dead, he ran to Felton, whom the soldiers still guarded on the terrace of the palace.

She may be beautiful, but that's the only requirement of this character that she fulfills well.

In this installment, D'Artagnan (Michael York) and his compatriots (Oliver Reed as Athos, Frank Finlay as Porthos and Richard Chamberlain as Aramis) are involved in the religious wars that engulfed France in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
Fighting for the Catholic Crown against the Hugenots of La Rochelle, they are involved again in the Queen's (Geraldine Chaplin) love affair with the British Prime Minister (Simon Ward) and the private attempts of Milady de Winter to revenge herself on D'Artagnan for his foiling of her plots and his discovery of her secret past.
The tone of this piece, however, is a good deal darker than the sunny first half of the story, predominantly because of the plotting by Dumas which the script by George MacDonald Fraser follows fairly closely.

Plotting to discredit Queen Anne (Mary McLaren) in the eyes of her husband King Louis XIII (Adolphe Menjou) Richelieu dispatches Milady de Winter (Barbara La Marr) to pilfer the diamond brooch given by Anne to her British lover, the Duke of Buckingham (Thomas Holding).
With the help of the lovely Constance (Marguerite de la Motte) D'Artagnan and the Musketeers race against time to retrieve the brooch and save their Queen.
The film ends with D'Artagnan emerging victorious, a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his lips; the actual, darker denouement of Dumas' original Three Musketeers would be dramatized in the opening reels of Douglas Fairbanks' valedictory silent film, The Iron Mask (1929).
