Ubaldini replied that those best informed considered the Princess of Conde as the principal subject of hostilities; they thought that he meant to have her back.

"I do mean to have her back," cried Henry, with a mighty oath, and foaming with rage, "and I shall have her back.

No one shall prevent it, not even the Lieutenant of God on earth." But the imputation of this terrible treason weighed upon his mind and embittered every hour.
The commissioners assured Sully that they had no knowledge of any coolness or change such as Anhalt had reported on the part of their principals, and the Duke took his leave.
It will be remembered that Villeroy had, it was thought, been making mischief between Anhalt and the States by reporting and misreporting private conversations between that Prince and the Dutch ambassador.
As soon as Sully had gone, van der Myle waited upon Villeroy to ask, in name of himself and colleagues, for audience of leave-taking, the object of their mission having been accomplished.

The Secretary of State, too, like Sully, urged the importance of making the most of the occasion.

The affair of Cleve, he said, did not very much concern the King, but his Majesty had taken it to heart chiefly on account of the States and for their security.
