Embassy of the King of Arda. Political Influence Exercised by the Good Looks of Madame de Montespan. Gifts of the Envoys. What the Comte de Vegin Takes for a Horse. Madame de Montespan Entertains Them in Her Own House. Three Missionaries Recommend Her to Them.

I have already told how the envoys of the King of Arda, an African prince, gave to the Queen a nice little blackamoor, as a toy and pet. This Moor, aged about ten or twelve years, was only twenty-seven inches in height, and the King of Arda declared that, being quite unique, the boy would never grow to be taller than three feet. The Queen instantly took a great fancy to this black creature.

Through the interpreter, they replied that three travellers missionaries had stayed for a couple of months with their master, the King of Arda, and the good fathers had told them "that Madame de Montespan was the second spouse of the great King." These same missionaries had chosen the sort of presents which they were to give me. Comte de Vegin, Abbe of Saint Germain des Pres.

While these movements were taking place in the west, the siege of Adrianople was vigorously pushed. It was completely surrounded by Bulgarian troops by the 29th, and its commander formally summoned to surrender the city.
