Most of them had heard of him, but very few had met him. It was known that he was a well-bred Englishman, a chivalrous and brave young man, and a very accomplished musician. Rumour had it that Cardinal Richelieu himself suspected Guy of various intrigues financed by the Duke of Buckingham, but everyone spoke of the young Englishman's keen sense of humour and his upright character. Ladies of the Royal Court of France formed a league in honour of Guy Varenne, and other enthusiasts were quick to take up the lead. Mambers of the league were pledged to find out more of the elusive Guy, and those successful in meeting him qualified for a badge marked G.V.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Illustrator: Eyles, D.C.
