Elizabeth's Chambers

I ask the servant to let me in to see my wife in her chambers.

"How are you my dear?"

Well my dear how are you?

I had ordered for her chambers to look nice on her return.

Do you like them Elizabeth?

*I entered my room to see Thomas* I am quite well dear husband. I like you for this I love it very much.

I am pleased and now I cannot wait to be promoted to a member of the royal family when my niece becomes queen.

Should we not talk about oyr family and what about finding Jenny and Anne Rose Howard husbands?

I smile at her a get out of my pocket a new box of jewels for her containing diamonds rubies pearls and her favourites sapphires, plus many more.

I look at her.

A gift for you mu dear wife hope you like them.

Thomas what if this does not come to pass. You want to be a part of the royal family so much. And what about Jenny and Anne Rose do you think that they will marry upstanding gentleman. Please don't pin all of your hope on this and this alone. If it does not happen then what. What would this do to you when you are not in the royal family the way you wish to be.

Trust me Elizabeth I believe it will haopen soon and then I shallraise us higher than we are already and will give my daughters great estates and wealth and wonderful marriages and why would you think it will not happen. Do you like the jewels.

I go to my wife's chambers to inform her that I would be departing for war representing England in Naples after she has called for help.

Thomas *hold on to his shoulders* why are so intent on being in the royal family especially as a queen. Stop this don't build your hopes up on these marriages. These jewels are wonderful and I thank you very much but are they for me to feel better about these marriages. Thomas I want you to be careful when you go to war in Naples. *she holds him tight and kiss him on his cheek* I truly love you

I will be careful my dear wife and look after the estate while I am away and Jenny has returned so why not speak with her.

Please dear Thomas don't relay on this. The chamber is so beautiful and I thank you for all that you do for me but this for us. Not for getting into the royal family. To see Jenny will be wonderful I have not seen her in a while. Be safe my love

I will and Jenny will see you soon you can always send for her.

Mary finally arrived at Whitehall and she didn't want to go to her room so she went straight to her mother's room instead then knocked softly on the door. "Mother, its Mary."

*She ask the servant to answer the door. She looks around and she sees her daughter Mary* Hello dear Mary how are you. *kisses her on her cheek* You look so beautiful. Your father would like to see him. So I am glad to go with you to see him.

Mary smiled and kissed her mother's cheek then stepped into the room as her mother spoke Mary looked at her in confusion. "Father is coming with to meet who? Mother, who are we meeting?"

I am glad that you are here and your father shall be here soon as will your sisters. Your father would like to discuss something with you both. Don't be nervous we just would like to talk to you. I have missed you both. *held and kissed you * You both are my love *smiled*

I arrive at my mother's chambers exhausted after a three day journey from were I was staying.

" I have arrived dear mother as I was summoned and am really tired after a long journey.

I turn and look at my sister: Hello Mary how are you?

Mother what did you want to talk to me about?

Your father sent me notice for us to meet him here with Jenny. So I thought that we can stay together and talk. I am sorry for being away from you all but I am happy to be with each other again. I love you all so much. You have both grown into such beautiful young women. *Gave them both a hug and a kiss*

Mary could not remember the last time she had seen Anne. "Anne you love so beautiful, you must show me how to do my hair like yours." Mary said as she smiled at her then she hugged their mother back.

I am happy to be here at last with my family.

My hair is fairly straight forward come and sit I shall do yours the same.

I hug my mother back and then start on my sisters hair.

*It was taking a very long to come here with Jenny as he he said that he would.

Darling Mary, and Jenny are with me at my chambers where are you. Where are you, we are worried.

I am outside my wife's chambers and I am in a mood and angry.

I come in and shout at the maid. "Girl get me some ale now hurry up"!.

I go into my mother's chambers as ordered by my father worried about his temper towards his sister.

"Dear mother I am here now how are you?
I turn to look at my sisters: It has been quite some time has it not sisters how are you both?
