“The Three Musketeers” is a mid-19th century novel by the author, and social commentator, Alexandre Dumas, who used the power of allegory to construct a fantasy world modeled after the Musketeers (and personal guard) of the 17th century French Throne. The number three refers to the three musketeers who befriended d'Artagnan, and helped him reach his goal of entering the coveted guard. While each of the musketeers is loosely based (very loosely based) on historical musketeers (Aramis from Henri d'Aramitz, Athos from Armand de Sillègue d'Athos d'Autevielle, Porthos from Isaac de Porthau), it should be emphasized that the fictional musketeers were allegorical representations of that which makes a true musketeer: Dedication, Love/Empathy for Life and the Passion for Life!

While Ava, Lee and Tony often play at who may be who, it's typically settled on Lee being the dedicated one, Ava being the adventurous one and Tony being the kind one.... or is Tony the dedicated one, and Lee the adventurous one with Ava being the kind one? Wait... could all three be d'Artagnan?! But, then, what would that make Chet?! We should settle this the same way they do – Rock, Paper, Scissors! Who's rock?! Wait, wait, don't tell me!
