Note 605 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
“After the action at D’Arbre de Guise, Elizabeth (of England) sent to Henri IV. a scarf embroidered by her own hand. ‘Monsieur mon bon frère,’ wrote the queen, ‘its value is naught in comparison to the dignity of the personage for whom it is destined; but I supplicate you to hide its defects under the wings of your good charity, and to accept my little present in remembrance of me.’”—“Henri IV.,” by Miss Freer, p. 311.
