Courtyard

Chuckles yes me too but at least they have stopped talking about me

Thomas saw Mary with a Soldier in speak.
He went to her with fast steps.

" Mary how are you? Who is this Men?"

Smiles and looks at my father father I am well as expected, this is William Stafford, William this is my father Lord Thomas Boleyn

Thomas look at this men and back to Mary.

" Mary you have write me that this men tell you that i send him to guard the Castle? Is this correct?"

Thomas saw of this men with contempt.

looks from one to the other father i do think it is a wonderful idea off yours what with Anne bound to become Queen we do need someone to protect our family home so that any uprising that could happen we know at least Hever be safe. Might be best to employ few more men smiles to her father

I bow deeply in respect. I am Sir William Stafford of Staffordshire. I feel awful for all this confusion. I stand there, my heart beating fast, waiting for his response.

" But i have not send this men? To guard our home."
Thomas saw at this men.

" Mister who have tell you that you must guard my home?"

Thomas look angry on the soldier.

That I do not know. The letter I recieved has no author, no seal. I am just as confused as you are My Lord. I stand still, head held high, still holding Mary's hand.

Thomas saw that this men hold the hand from Mary.

" You will tell me that my daughter have not write me ? Please let my daughters hand disengage."

" Mary have you write me a letter or not?"

Thomas is fierce.

father we do need people and he happens to be here so why not let him do the job, he is trained for it and also the Princess Cordelia is seeing a soldier why not ask the King for him to be sent here as well that there be two people to guard our house and Sir William would need company. hoping my plan would work as would hate to feel that someone as wasted there journey to come here as i let my hand drop blushing slughtly at my fathers temper. yes i wrote you the letter just making sure you were the one who invited him here

" I will talk alone with this men go please in the house Mary."

Thomas look grave.

as i heard my father who not listerning to what i say my heart skips a beat when he tells me to leave i curtsy before walking back the castle, as i look around at the both i go inside where i can spy on them very well father, good day Sir William, i do hope to see you again

Mary lets go of my hand but I can still feel her. Sir, I do not wish to cause trouble for you and you fsmily but if I may speak plainly....He nods. Mary does have a point. With Anne to become Queen, who knows what evil may come this way as not everyone agrees with the whole situation. I believe Anne should be the rightful Queen of England.

Thomas saw at William.

" From where you come,what you do till now?"

I smile, I hail from Staffordshire and I have been a soldier for His Majesty for quite some time. There is nothing I like to do more. I take a deep breath, I am so sorry for all this confusion. When I recieved the letter, Imust admit that I smiled for I thought this to be a wonderful opportunity and a learning experience. Your family has made many strides at court and to be on your side would mean the world to me.

" That is the ground i will be careful my family have a good position at court and i don`t allowed someone
to broken that.Sir my daughter is a young widow she is sometimes very naive and credent.But she have right she is here alone with her daughter it can not damage when a soldier is here at guard."

Thomas take a deep breath.

" I will allow that you stay here but when i hear that you come my daughter to near i swear i let you beheaded.
Have you understand me?"

I bow my head, Yes My Lord I completely understand. I promise to be a gentleman around Mary and treat her with the utmost respect. I stand up straight.

" Let us go in the house in the great Hall Sir William."

Thomas show with his hand in way to the house.

I follow Sir Thomas into the castle...

Thomas sit at his horse and ride back to Whitehall.

Arriving back I and the reins over and pat the horse before going for a walk

Agostino arrived at Hever Castle in the evening with his carriage. It stopped in the courtyard and he got off from carriage. He looked around, holding his medical bag, wondering if someone will come to receive him and bring him into Mary Boleyn's room

On the way back I see the physician I curtsy and smile Ursula please forgive me I have matters to attend to, turns to the man thank you we will go to the day room where we can talk more privately . As I lead the way
