first valet handed the nightshirt to the
most highly qualified person, to one of
the princes Of the blood If any were
present. This was right and not a
favor. When the person was one with
whom he was on familiar terms the
king would often play tricks while
putting 1t on, stepping on one side to
make the holder run after him, accom-
panying these charming jokes with
loud outlaws, which greatly vexed
those who were sincerely attached to
him. When his shirt was on he put
on his dressing gown, while three val
cts unfastened his waist belt and knee
breeches, which fell to his ankles, and
