Matthew Whitcombe's bedchamber

Yes she does care. Certainly has feelings buried in her. I laugh and pull her close, kissing her sweetly. You shall meet her at dinner tonight. I hope you will like her but I must warn you, she is hard headed, headstrong, outspoken, and can be a bit rude at times.

Giggles what like you I say kissing him oh I need to find a lady in waiting as well I know I hate people doing stuff for me but it might be handy

We shall find you a lady in waiting to suit you new position. I was thinking that we should travel to Wessex soon so you can see what we now share. What do you think of that? I await her answer.

i would love to I have not seen outside the palace for a while when do we go looking up at him

now I say looking at him or we could just stay in bed

I would love to do both but, I get out of bed, still naked. We must get dressed or the court will think something horrible has happened to us. I will have the carriage ready for us to leave after dinner tonight to leave for Wessex.

Smiles watches him from under the blanket

What are you giggling about? I look at her as my servants bring me my clothes.

Chucks the pillow at him mmmm nothing I say

Oh really? I throw the pillow back at her. Oh the love you shall get when we get to Wessex tonight....

Giggles as the pillow hits me ouch, oh really now I say looking at him as I get out off bed and go towards him and kiss him well now you got me out of bed I suppose I should dress and see what I can get upto might even go for a ride since its been two years

You can do whatever makes you happy my love. I am going to head to the Great Hall for a bite to eat. The last of my clothing is in place and I turn around and kiss her sweetly. I tell the staff to start preparing for our trip to Wessex in the evening after dinner.

Smiles kisses him then gets servants to dress me finding it hard as they do so

i sure hope so smiles [color=orange]might take time but if I end up like the duchess kill me [/color. I say chuckling

A servant deives this note:

Your Most Gracious Countess,

Please meet me int he Rose Garden. I want to meet the woman who makes my cousin happy.


Francesca

As the servant gives me the letter I smile at least I know what I be doing as am dressed I thank them

A note delivered:

My dearest cousins,

I have left England for my family's country home in Milan, Italy. I cannot stay here in England when Her Grace the Duchess of Lancaster threatens to have me executed over something that isnt true. Please come and visit me sometime.


Humble and alone,

Francesca

As I returned to my husband chamber I knock and enter as I see a letter on the floor I pick it up and sit in a chair as tears fill her eyes believing I done something wrong and she left because off me I stand and pace the room till Matthew comes back

What is wrong my love? I wipe the tears from her face.

I hand him the note to read from his cousin i think it's my fault I spoke with her yesterday as I look at him scared

Spoke with whom? I am curious....

your cousin she asked to meet her she in love with a married man, as I put my arms around him how she has left

No..No my love. She didnt leave because of you. The Duchess of Lancaster has threatened to have Francesca executed for even being near her husband. I am going to be speaking to Jasper about this once I see him again. I pull Elizabeth into my arms and attempt to calm her down...
