Elizabeth More's Bedchamber

Elizabeth hated packing and unpacking. It was chores in her opinion and chores aren't fun. Boring is not in Elizabeth More's vocabulary. But she has no choice. Servants only really bring her bags and sets them up so she has to do it herself. She sets her daughter Jane and sets up a couple of toys.

Jane giggles and starts playing with them as Elizabeth puts her dresses in the dresser. She then lays a few books out messily on the bed.

"We are going to have a new life sweetheart"

Jane bites on the stuffed doll Alice had made for her. She didn't think she would apperciate it but Jane was happy so it doesn't matter.

"And maybe we'll have a handsome new father for you too."

Finally Jane throws a doll at Elizabeth. She cannot help but sit down on the floor and play with her.

"Ma tante? Ma tante m'a envoyé ici? Pour quoi? Jean! Jean, dis-moi pourquoi je suis ici," Pierre shouted. Jean, his servant, would not tell him. Because he could not tell him. 'Non, non, mon seigneur. Je ne peux pas vous dire quoi que ce soit. Votre tante m'a donné des instructions strictes pour vous offrir à l'Angleterre, et d'attendre son arrivée. C'est tout, 'répondit Jean. With that Jean left, and Pierre turned away. "Is this my chambers," he asked, himself. He fiddled with the door knob, and stepped back as the door opened. And, he slowly stepped into the room, and saw these weren't his rooms. "I'm sorry, my lady," he said, looking at the mother and child.

(First Translation: "My Aunt? My Aunt sent me here? For what? Jean! Jean, tell me why I am here,")
(Second Translation: 'No, no, my lord. I cannot tell you anything. Your Aunt gave me strict instructions to bring you to England, and wait for her arrival. That is all,' Jean replied.)

The door opens quickly. She almost expects it to be her dad since he had a habit of entering his kids rooms without even knocking. But it isn't Elizabeth finds herself staring at a man....a rather handsome one. Normal women would scream...but Elizabeth wasn't exactly your average girl. She gives him a deep smile.

"Oh it's fine," She says grinning as Jane crawls over to the man "I don't mind surprise visitors coming into my room. I'm Elizabeth...it seems my daughter likes you."

Thomas heard that his daughter Elizabeth came to court. So he decided to to pay her a visit. She must have been grown after all this time. He knocked at her door

Elizabeth...are you there, sweetheart? It's your dad...

Pierre grinned. But, he felt so embarrassed. He was not in his own chambers. Pierre had entered some beautiful woman's chambers.....on accident! "Oh, erm, Hi," he said, as he looked at the infant. Pierre was not good with children. "I'm Pierre. Pierre Du Bois," he said, to her.

"It's nice to meet you Pierre I'm Elizabeth More," She says with a grin. Suddenly the door knocks and her father's voice rings through the room. "Do you mind Pierre? It's my father I cannot ignore him." She points over to the couch "you can have a seat."

She picks up Jane and walks over to the door.

"Hello father," She says before looking at Jane, "Look who's here it's Grandfather! We also have a visitor. This is Pierre"

Thomas entered in the room and smiled warmly as he saw Elizabeth. Little Jane ran towards him and he took her in his arms

Jane...my sweetheart! Have you missed your old grandfather?

He kissed Jane's cheek and came closer to Elizabeth, hugging her

Elizabeth, my darling...how are you? Your mother and I missed you greatly. I find you happy and in good spirit. Oh...I see you have company. My lord...

He bowed at the man, noticing she already had a visit. Jane kept wrapping her arms around his neck

Well it is a good thing her father was being civil towards Pierre. Behaving a bit more properly after both becoming a mother and becoming a widow. While she still had her taste for good men she had to set a good example for her young daughter.

Father had often said having children changed his life and he couldn't be more...accurate about that statement.

"I've been enjoying court very much." she says with a smile at the sight of Jane being so happy with her grandfather. "I've been spending a lot of time with the Princess Cordelia, she's very kind"

Thomas smiled and nodded approvingly

Ohh...Princess Cordelia, yes. Indeed she is, darling. Your mother became her governess. And, as you probably heard, the King just appointed me Lord Chancellor. Oh...but talk me about you, dear. Is there something new since last time I saw you?

He asked smiling, still holding Jane in his arms
