ABSTRACT
The Princess of France (we’re never given a first name) is a very sharp, witty and straight-forward lady. Technically, she is on a diplomatic mission to the King of Navarre (now part in France and part in Spain) with her three attendant ladies. In this speech (her first of the play) she is responding to Boyet, an attendant Lord, who has just been very flattering to her. He (and the ladies) are very much her friends and she rarely pulls rank. She could be as young as late teens.
