I had much rather my dear little Nid de Merle were with you than left here, to become like all the others. She is a good little Liegling, how do you call it in French? She has told me all, and truly I would help you with all my heart, but it is not as if I were the Queen-mother. You must have recourse to the King, who loves you well, and at my request included you in the hunting-party.
