[PW] Alexandre Dumas and Richelieu retry

[Barbara & George Grenier]

Hi all

This for me. I am doing the monthly trivia quiz and am completely stumped 
by this one and if you think it too trivial to answer, I understand. I 
usually have no trouble with this sort of question, just Google the phrase 
and if that doesn't work try various parts of the quote. Well, this hasn't 
worked.

I went here and searched the phrases and 
words    http://www.online-literature.com/dumas/

and here  http://www.online-literature.com/dumas/threemusketeers/ and waded 
through all the book looking for the word "cardinal". I figured that word 
should be there even if the quote was a little off. Someone told me she 
found it in chapter 26.  As far as I can tell, Aramis is described as 
wearing a calotte.  Now this may be the answer.  This is one of the many 
words I have written down on my scratch paper to check out.  Biretta is a 
square type hat, and zucchetto  means small gourd.

Twenty years after Richelieu is dead so probably not that one. Don't think 
Richelieu comes into the Count of Monte Cristo.  Perhaps the Man in the 
Iron Mask but a search didn't find it.

I did a quick search of the other books with out finding anything.

I thought of the son but don't think Richelieu comes into the Lady of the 
Camillias. I didn't find a complete copy of this book online.


111 SPELLING QUESTION! In one of his most famous novels, the French writer 
Alexandre Dumas describes Cardinal Richelieu as 'wearing a cap, as 
cardinal's do, similar to a _'. What word, derived from Italian meaning 
'cap' or 'small dome', completes that quotation and is a name applied to a 
type of skullcap as mainly worn by Roman Catholic clergy? (This word must 
be spelt correctly!)
