The foggy lake

I'm so sorry. She said genuinely, then smiled. Even if I do like your proposal I think your father already have too much children, and anyway I've cousins and I grown up with my aunt, whom I owe everything.

Margaret laughed

'Yes I suppose he does I would of love to come from a small family I don't think I have ever met any Aunties coming from a big family you can get overlooked'

Viola  looked at the lake wistfully. She always wanted to be a part of a big family, so she didn't understand why Margaret didn't like it. I always wanted to be part of a large family, and to have siblings. She confessed.

'Really! I have always wondered what it is like to be part of a small family and not having to share a room I just took to my books most of the time even more when my Farther remarried'

Margaret patted her hand

'When you marry you can have the family you always wanted'

It seams we always want the things we don't have. Viola said and shrugged slightly. Yes and you can have a small one as you want, when you marry.

Margaret laughed kindly

'Yes I would have a small family and I would write more books to help voice the opinions of women more and I would strive to make my Farther happy and proud'

Viola couldn't help and not to laughed as well. I think your father is already proud of you. She said with honesty.

'Viola may I confide in you even though you shall think me possibly evil'

Viola smiled kindly. Of course you can. Then she shook her head. No matter what is it I'll not think ill of you.

'I can't seem to bond with my Step mother Alice More Having lost my mother I only really crave for my biological mother. I should call myself lucky but I just can't seem to make it work'

Margaret smiled weakly she would gladly share Alice with Viola Gladly

Viola gave her a knowing look, her aunt never replaced that need for her mother. I know how you feel. My mother died when I was a little girl, and no one ever replaced her in my heart. She said with sadness in her voice. But you should try to bond to your stepmother. She maybe never be able to replace your biological mother in your heart and that is alright. But she can give you her love and protection.

Margaret felt comforted that Viola knew how she felt

'Well Alice has always been in our life even before my mother died she was a friend of the family. Their has been plenty of time for that bond to happen she has children too! So they all kind of moved in'

She listened carefully as Margaret spoke. You should try to move on too. I know you miss your mother but she's in better place now, and she'd always be in your heart. No one can take her away from there, even if you bond with your step mother.

'I don't think he even remembers my mother he married a month after she died '

Viola looked at her with tenderness and said, ''Maybe he married so soon because he wanted for you to have a mother by your side. But you should talk with him about it, and tell him how you feel.

'I am Viola thank you for listening'

Margaret stretched out her leg's that were turning numb

'Would you like to go for a walk or a horse ride if you are busy I understand and hope we can meet again'

She nodded as Margaret thanked her and smile. I'd love to go for a walk, if you'd like. She said.

'Great I would like that is their anywhere in particular you would like to go'

Margaret asked with eagerness

Viola smiled widely as Margaret accepted, then thought for a while. No... I don't know many places good for walk around here, so I'll let you choose. She answered honestly.

'Well their is the Bluebelle forest I like long walks but I need to do something first I shall send you a note when I am ready the truth is Viola I need to speak with my Farther and try to sort some things out I know you shall understand me in this matter'

Picking up her drawings Margaret reached out and hugged Viola she felt like she had just made a great friend.

The  Bluebelle forest sounds perfect. Viola said with a smile, then gave a nod. Oh, yes of course. You should go and make a peace with your father, and we shall have our walk any other day. She hugged Margaret back, happy she meet this lovely girl and hoping for them to be a great friends in future.

It was a day full of laziness the court was quite outside not a soul around they were all inside becoming excited about the King and Anne Boleyn courtiers and the public were waiting on a piece of thread as to the couples next move. I had never seen such fascination about two young lovers the thought made me smile.

I was not expecting anyone else to be down here to others this place could seem scary as the fog hung over the lake. I was wondering if the king would ever go to war with York it was hard to imagine that my Farther had once been a Prince I never liked to reveal my true identity as then the Farthers of young ladies would only want me for the title and dowry they would receive.

Good day my lady how are you this day please come and join me I always like to hear the life of others.

I gave her a smile in which it meant I shall not hurt you in my company.
