I have alfo brought my daughter with me, whom I de-liver up to your charge, and appoint you her guardian, to inftruct and defend her; for I well know that, from our relationfhip, you will not difappoint me ; and I have the greateft confidence in the care you will take of my daughter Joan* c It was with much difficulty I could get her from her father's hands, and out of the country JJ but as I know the Armagnacs, your adverfarieg as well as mine, are capable of carrying her ofi^ being the true heirefs of Comminges, I de-liver her to you ; therefore do not fail me in this, bufinefs, Ï entreat of you ; for I firmly believe, that when nyr hufband fhall know I left her un-der your care, he will be pleafed, having fre-quently faid, that this girl would give him much trouble/ r The count de Foix was delighted to hear his confit 185
