River Medway

●Thomas had came to his family home in hopes to see his sister. The last time he had saw Margaret she told him that she was married. He had written to her en route here. He sat down, and started to skim the stones he hand in his hands.●

Margaret was told that her brother Thomas came back to Allington. She ran in the River Medway and she stopped. She turned her head around looking for him. Finally she saw him sitting on the grass, and she came closer running and opening her arms "Thomas! Oh brother..I missed you so much.." She exclaimed hugging him and giggling happily

● Thomas embraced his sister back happy to see her so happy for once. Margaret! You look so very happy. Tell me about your new found happiness. Thomas extended out his arm for his sister to take. He wanted to go for a walk around the walk for a proper catch up. ●

Margaret took her brother's arm and she started walking with him "Oh Thomas..I never thought to fall in love again and to be so happy. Anthony is a wonderful man, I am sure you'll like him. He is..the other side of me and I feel so blessed.." She sighed smiling happily "What about you, brother? Hope you're not still in pain for Anne Boleyn. You wrote me about a lady who caught your eyes. A certain..Elizabeth Darrell, right? Oh tell me..who is she?" She was very curious and impatient to know about Thomas's private life's recent events. They were very close, and she knew him better than anyone else

●Thomas still did feel pain over Anne. For awhile he actually thought that they would end up together, but Anne fell for the king. To have unrequited love is rather painful. My love life is rather a mess Margaret. I have my wife Elizabeth who I do love. Then the rumours started about Anne and it crumbled to pieces I still love my wife. Now I have another Elizabeth in my life it is all so very confusing. She keeps rejecting me so in the future I would like to reconcile with my wife. To reconcile with his wife would help incredibly. It was hard to live a life when eyes were always on you for any sign of jealousy against the king. I hope that you won't allow your husband a mistress Margaret. They cause so much trouble and hardships when tis simply not needed.

Margaret leaned her hand on his arm "I am sorry, brother. You deserve to be happy. I always told you that Anne couldn't make you happy. She belongs to the King, now. And..your wife is not better, in my opinion. She left you suddenly. Yes..your children deserve a family. But Annie and Tommy need that their parents are quiet and always available for them, even if they are with other persons. Maybe you should try with your new Elizabeth.." She took a deep breath "And about my husband, he promised me that he'll never take a mistress. You know what's happened with my previous marriage. It has been hard for me trusting in men again. and I am so in love with Anthony, that I couldn't stand the same story to happen again.."

●That was one thing Thomas forgot about his sister Judgemental. You don't know nothing about my wife. You never got to know her at all. And if I went back to her she would have me back without a shadow of a doubt. ●

Margaret rolled her eyes "I was not judging you, Thomas. You know I never liked that woman. But..if you have intention to come back with her..no one can prevent you from doing that.." She shrugged sighing deeply "I was just giving you an advice, because I care for you, brother. I don't want to see you heartbroken again.."

●You have no need to worry about me sister. I am staying away from court life and I would like to concentrate on my poetry. I am rather well known for my poetry I would like to be known for that and not the women in my life. Thomas rolled his eyes straight back at his sister. He could not understand why women were always complicated. You should concentrate on your own happiness Margaret. Put yourself first for once that is what I want to do.●

Margaret sighed deeply, knowing how stubborn her brother was. But she smiled "That's what I am doing, brother. Nothing is more important than my marriage, for me. Anthony and I are going to come back to court for Christmas. Will you be there too? I want you to meet him.." She said excitedly

●The king sent me on a journey I think Anne will be queen for Christmas. He asked for me to collect the state jewels that all the queens wear. I feel like a donkey whatever the king asks I must abide otherwise rumours will start again. What kind of life is this. Thomas whispered his last words with sorrowful meaning. His every move at court was watched.●

Margaret looked concerned at him and she placed her hand on his arm "Don't say so, Thomas. This means that the King trusts you, and being in King's graces is very important nowadays. And your life is simply beautiful, cause you are an artist, and I am so very proud of you. Even your troubles..or your torments, they help you to create your best poems. You taught me that.." She added smiling, hoping to see a smile on his face too. But suddenly she felt her head turning quickly and a pain at her stomach. Bringing one hand on her stomach, she had to stop leaning her other hand against a tree to avoid to fall. She closed her eyes trying to breath deeply
