Tis a beautiful day and it is time old friends reminissed and family got together.
So please come and join the dancing & drinking

Elizabeth my beautiful Daughter, I kiss her cheek and tell her how wonderful it is to see her. Where are Thomas & Edward?

Well my dear for one thing you should not speak to me like that I am your father. Secondly i know nothing about this man maybe if you behave i may be willing to meet him. You will do as your told my girl!

Come Child let us be reasonable. Tell me about this Count from Russia what is his name?

 Child you are no fool. Maybe you could invite the count to Wufhall so i may meet him and get to know him better. Elizabeth I love you from the depths of my heart and my very being.

I passed my mother as I entered the garden, giving her a quick hug before she went back to the house. Then I saw Father and Elizabeth and joined them. "Father, sister. I.. do hope everything is well." I had come in on a tender moment and hoped it wasn't a sensitive one.

I pursed my lips in thought. "You met a Russian count? Well, tell me about him." I led her to a small bench beneath an apple tree.

Dorothy walks through the vine decorated gateway "Hello my dearest family. I hope I'm not too late for this wonderful occasion." she said with a smile as she approached Edward and Elizabeth

Dorothy smiles in relief " I have missed you guys very much she hugs her brother and sister " I have been wanting to come back home in the garden."

I got up and embraced Dorothy, though what Lizzie said still rang in my ears. I felt very protective of her, and hoped she hadn't given more to this count than she should have. "Welcome back, Dorothy. Have you seen Jane or Thomas around yet?"

"I think i saw them somwhere but, i can't put a finger on it." she smiles at Edward "How is the future Mrs. Seymour?

I smiled at Lizzie. "Currently the happenings at court have kept me busy but I think I can manage to keep away from there for a few days. As for my fiancee, she is very well thank you Dorothy. She is very eager to be wed to me." I felt hot and knew I was blushing. I cleared my throat nervously.

Thomas joined his family at Wolf hall for the festivities. "Forgive for my tardiness, my carriage lost a wheel on the way over and we were stuck waiting for hours. Nonetheless i'm here now" He said and greeted all his family.

Wearing a tight smile I looked at Thomas and waited for a reply.
