We find him at Saintorge; at Nerac, the residence of the Queen of Navarre; at Angoulême, with his friend Louis du Tillet; then for a brief while at Paris again.
"Jeanne d'Albret knew what she was about when she declared herself protectress of the Huguenots! She has a battering-ram in the Reformation, and she knows how to use it," said the duke, who fathomed the deep designs of the Queen of Navarre, one of the great minds of the century. "Theodore de Beze is now at Nerac," remarked the cardinal, "after first going to Geneva to take Calvin's orders."
The oldest tree existing in France at the time of the publication of Loudon's great work, was one in the Jardin des Plantes, which in 1831 was about 60 feet high. "There is, however, a much larger Zelkowa on an estate of M. le Comte de Dijon, an enthusiastic planter of exotic trees, at Podenas, near Nerac, in the department of the Lot et Garonne.
"I should not think she could raise an army," Philip said carelessly; "and if she is wise, she will stop quietly down in Bearn." "There is a rumour here," the landlord said, "that she is at Nerac, with only a small party of gentlemen; and that she is on her way to Paris, to assure the king that she has no part in these troubles.
Before my brother set off he was desirous to bring about a reconciliation betwixt the King my husband and Mareohal de Biron, provided the latter should make his apologies to me for his conduct at Nerac.
This happiness I had the good fortune to enjoy during the four or five years that I remained with him in Gascony. Our residence, for the most part of the time I have mentioned, was at Nerac, where our Court was so brilliant that we had no cause to regret our absence from the Court of France.
I answered his message by the trumpeter, saying that I well knew what he had done was strictly agreeable to the convention made and the orders he had received, but that a gallant officer like him would know how to do his duty without giving his friends cause of offence; that he might have permitted me the enjoyment of the King my husband's company in Nerac for three days, adding, that he could not attack him, in my presence, without attacking me; and concluding that, certainly, I was greatly offended by his conduct, and would take the first opportunity of making my complaint to the King my brother.
The tidings of the attack on Pont de Dronne had caused the Duke to make a forced march to its relief, in which the King had insisted on joining him; and they now intended to wait at Pont de Dronne till the rest of the troops came up, and to continue their march through Guyenne to Nerac, the capital of Henry's county of Foix.
The queen of Navarre awaits an opportunity to reward the Sieur Christophe, and will not fail to take advantage of it. Upon which, Monsieur le syndic, we pray God to have you in His keeping. Pibrac, At Nerac. Chancellor of Navarre." "Nerac, Pibrac, crack!" cried Babette. "There's no confidence to be placed in Gascons; they think only of themselves."
This annoyed him, and he said so to the king. "Diable!" said Henri, "it is your own fault; you tried to run away from Nerac, and I am afraid you will try it again." "Sire, if I give my word as a gentleman not to do so?" "That will do." "Besides, I should be wrong to do so." "How so?" "Yes; for if I stay, I believe I shall see curious things." "I am of your opinion, my dear Chicot."
