I am here at the order of her majesty, the Queen of Navarre; who, I trust, has arrived here safely." "The queen arrived here three hours since, Monsieur Fletcher; and I may say that she did you the honour to inquire, at once, if a gentleman of your name had arrived." "I should have met her at the river near Tonneins, but the governor of Agen laid an embargo on me.

Yet, thanks to these three faithful fellows, I got safely out of his clutches." "We shall march in an hour, Monsieur Fletcher and, as soon as the queen is up, I will see that she is acquainted with your coming.
"Allow me to introduce myself, first--Gaston de Rebers.

Breakfast is ready in this cottage, and we were about to sit down when we saw you riding up.

I shall be glad if you will share it with us.

These are my comrades, Messieurs Duvivier, Harcourt, and Parolles." He then called a sergeant.
"Sergeant, see that Monsieur Fletcher's servant and men-at-arms have a good meal." "I think they must want it," Philip said.
