The foggy lake

Victoria strolls along the path admiring the littlest things of Mother Nature's creation. She saw a lady by a tree and realized it was Lady Catherine. "Catherine, I am pleased you came. How do you fare?" she smiles as they take a walk

Victoria was a bit surprised at what she was hearing "My lady, I am a devoted woman and a faithful wife. she tries to stay calm"There was nothing too personal. I just had a little too much to drink and I got a taste of his lips by accident. she picks a flower alongside the path and twirls it between her fingers "A servant told me that Thomas has returned from his travels and is planning to see me soon

"He is very well. He is planning a dinner for us all to meet." she smiles sweetly "I wonder if he has told you?"

"I was wondering if you could come.My little Elizabeth would love to see you there." Victoria noticed the look in her eyes "Do not be sad Lady Catherine, eating hearty food and seeing a young child will cheer you up."

"She's starting to get little curls and yes i would like to have more children." she smiled when Lady Catherine starts to brighten up "I would like to have a son for a change. I sometimes feel men expect their wives to give them sons but,i'm glad I gave mine a child."

"That doesn't sound like a very bad idea." Victoria smiles brightly "I think it's best for the baby to live in the fresh air in the countryside for awhile until he/she is a little older. We all know what the conditions are."

Catherine smiled at victoria I was in hope's that your farther would come with me for awhile I mean I do not wish to separate him from court but you are married did you not find the alone time sacred when you first had your Elizabeth? Your advice and opinions are welcomed

"That's alright. He probably needs fresh air from the countryside anyway." she kicks a small rock as the strolled along "Father told me that you are with child. Is it true?

"There is nothing to frown about on children." she smiles as she placed her hand on Lady Catherine's belly "You're absolutely right. Did the physician say when the baby is due?"

Catherine removed victoria's hand from her stomach it was an invasion of her privacy only Charles could touch her. Next year of course! And my due date is between me and your farther. I find it hard that he has so many children they are not like you Victoria you can stand up for yourself they just demand his attention. I just need your farther to myself for awhile I hope you under this I need your farther more than any of you.

"I'm sorry to be a burden to you." she looks down and talks in a mellow voice "Ever since my father married a proper woman, It took me awhile to get used to you and I also respect your privacy. but, it would be nice to be informed about my step brother or sister once in awhile. I hope to see you at the dinner sometime." she quick curtsies and pardons herself to leave

Margaret was wrapped up in her light furs sitting with her legs swung over swinging in and out. She was trying to work more harder on her drawing when she saw a lady approaching

'Good day my lady'

Viola was looking outside of her window, she wanted to go outside and get some fresh air, she felt like she was trapped in the room. With her cloak wrapped around her, she stepped outside, smiling as she felt the wind flowing through her hair. She made her way to the lake and found someone already there. Good Day, my lady. She said and gave a curtsy. I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Margaret smiled and moved her chalks and gestured for her too join her

'Of course not I am trying to brush up on my art skills please do join me I am Margaret by the way daughter of Thomas More'

Exchanging her chalk free hand Margaret noticed she was a lady of pure beauty and was honoured she had stopped to speak with her.

She sat down next to lady, she looked out at the lake, and then back at lady. A pleasure to meet you, lady More. I'm Viola, Duchess of Lancaster. Viola said with a genuine smile. I couldn't help and not to notice your drawing. It's very beautiful. She said in amazement.

Margaret nodded

'So you are from York then what is it like up their I have heard many stories to do with the lancaster and Yorkist war I do hope you're family were not that affected some years ago. Oh and my drawing is a bit rusty I like to write stories aswell. '

What a remarkable lady Viola was she seemed very interesting and could probably open up Margaret mind to new horizans.

Viola smiled as she thought of York and her home. It's beautiful there. She said, as she dropped her hands into her lap. Everyone were affected by the war, even my family, but that was long ago. Her eyes get wider as Margaret spoke of writing. For me is perfect. You write too?
