This day I kept to my quarters it being quite cold and raw and my face being bandaged from my wound yesterday, likewise I have sent my man to take my burgonet to the armorer for some repair the cheek piece being broken along its edge from the bullet; after supper came M. du Lac to call upon me and brought gossip about the King and how he would have gone to Dieppe to make his devotions to some saint there and lay his sword upon her altar but that the Marshall saith that he would take his Gascons all off to home if he did so thus staying his hand for now; du Lac brought some wine the which is rather dear in the French camp just now and some tobacco as well the which has done well to relieve the pain from my wound.
Luke is rather a bit too bandaged up to do much today and that combined with the weather and the cold day kept him home. King Henri apparently was see some woman in Dieppe at this time who was not his “official” mistress Gabrielle d’Estree. During the siege of Paris he was carrying on with an abbess!
