The show was a very fine one, and everything pleasant.
"There is a report that, in order to put an end to all further troubles, and to bind both parties in friendship, the king has proposed a marriage between his sister Marguerite and Henry of Navarre.

We all trust that it will take place, for it will indeed be a grand thing for us of the reformed faith.
"It is rumoured that Queen Jeanne is by no means eager for the match, fearing that Henry, once at Paris, will abandon the simple customs in which he has been brought up; and may even be led away, by the influence of Marguerite and the court, to abandon his faith.
Her first fear, I think, is likely enough to be realized; for it seems to me that he has been brought up somewhat too strictly, and being, I am sure, naturally fond of pleasure, he is likely enough to share in the gaieties of the court of Paris.

As to her other fear, I cannot think there is foundation for it.

Henry is certainly ambitious and very politic, and he has talked often and freely with me, when we have been alone together.

He has spoken, once or twice, of his chances of succeeding to the throne of France.
