I doubt not that it seems, to all the Huguenots of France, that for me to marry Marguerite of Valois would be more than a great victory won for their cause; but I have my doubts.
However, in a matter like this I am not a free agent.
"The Huguenot lords are all delighted at the prospect.

My mother is still undecided.

You see, I am practically as much in a net, here, as I shall be at Paris, if this marriage is made.

I am rather glad the decision does not rest with me.

I shall simply go with the stream; some day, perhaps, I shall be strong enough to swim against it.
