A True Recipe

Prince and King. There are things written in this book which may greatly serve the development of your garden at Chenonceaux; and when it pleases you to command me to serve you there, I shall not fail to apply myself to it. And if it were your pleasure to do so, I will create things that no other has yet done until now. This will be the place, Madame, where I shall pray to the Lord God to grant you a long and happy life in perfect health.
