Meudon, and Rosny to his lodging
at the foot of the castle. Whilst Rosny was at supper, his secretary
came and said to him, "Sir, the King of Navarre, peradventure the King of
France, wants you. M. d'Orthoman writes to him to make haste and come to
St. Cloud if he would see the king alive." The King of Navarre at once
departed. Just as he arrived at St. Cloud, he heard in the street cries
of "Ah! my God, we are lost!" He was told that the king was dead. Henry
III., in fact, expired on the 2d of August, 1589, between two and three
in the morning. The first persons Henry of Navarre encountered as he
entered the Hotel de Retz were the officers of the Scottish guard, who
threw themselves at his feet, saying, "Ah! sir, you are now our king and
our master."
