* Though it was given short details in the original 3rd Chapter, Athos notes how they got Cosette the apprenticeship.

* It is confirmed in this that Treville did make the inseparables responsible for d'Artagnan's training and believes it will do all three of them good.

	+ It is also revealed that Treville hopes that if the three boys are responsible for Cosette, it will teach them responsibility and that having a cadet will influence them not to fight with the Cardinal's men and that they will teach Cosette not to engage with the Red Guards because whatever she does will reflect on the Inseparables.
* Athos says he'll make sure d'Artagnan stays out of trouble. He does this first act by making sure that Porthos doesn't con Cosette out of her money. Which is why Athos gives Cosette warning that Porthos likes to keep a King's card up his sleeve.
