Rose Garden

I smiled and still held her hand. "Yes, I am from a town called Nottingham. Although, unfortunately, since I was called to join the King's army I have not seen my family in many years." I said still trying to smile realizing that I was not even sure if they were alive.

I looked at him softly squeezing his hand gently.

''I am so sorry...I can not imagine how hard is it for you to be away for so long from your family''

In that moment, I found true solace within her voice and her kind words. I smiled, "Thank you. I do pray that someday I can see them again. Especially my younger sister, Sara." I said knowing she was a fighter. "Tell me of you, where are you from?" I asked quickly changing the subject.

I smiled still squeezing his hand gently.

''I am sure that you will see your family again and your little sister Sara''

Then I noticed that he wants to change a topic ,so I didn't asked anything more about his family,knowing that it probably saddens him .

''I am from England but I grow up far from court in my family house Wulfhall... I have two brother's and sister but I am the youngest of them all''

I said with bright smile,looking at him.

"The youngest?! Do you like being apart of a big family?" I asked as I was curious to know what is was like to have a big family.

I smiled brightly at his questions.

''Yes...Oh I love my brothers and sister very much and we don't always get along very well,we are all different but I would do anything for them. I can't imagine what my life would have been like without them.''

I replied softly

As she spoke about her siblings, I could see the love and closeness she had with them, it made me smile.
"I'm glad you have a close bond with your siblings. They are your first friends and we can always count on them." I said with a smile. "...And your parents..are they still with you?" I asked hoping I wasn't getting to personal.

I nodded softly.

''Yes I can always count on them...Just my father but his not at court''

I said with small smile

i sit down on a warm day and smell the lovely rose that remind me off hever and how much i miss home

Margaret felt caged inside Whitehall and thought the fragrant Rose garden was the perfect place for her. She started walking in the garden when she saw her cousin, Lady Mary Boleyn, sitting on the ground and was so happy to see her. She approached her cousin to speak with her. "Cousin Mary, oh how I have missed you. Tis been a long while since we last saw eachother. How are you? How is your daughter, Catherine?" She asked, warmly.

hearing my voice i look up and see my cousin Madge, Dearest Cousin i have missed you it as been awhile since we have last spoken am very well thank you and so is Catherine. How are you? I didnt not realise you were here? When did you get here?

Margaret was happy to see Mary, one of her favorite cousins. "I am very happy, thank you. I arrived about three weeks ago to be a lady to your sister, my dear cousin, Anne. Court is a very exciting place and I am always watching how I act around everyone. I have met only two ladies here, Lady Catherine Willoughby and Lady Alice More. They are the only people I have spoken with. As for the men at court, I have not caught a single eye as of yet." She smiled, happy to talk about court life.

Margaret smiled. "Your sister is well and very happy with all things. Thoguh she does treat me more harsh than the other ladies and I do not understand why. I am happy that court is getting more enjoyable for you and hope I meet new people as well. Do you find it hard being here?" Margaret asked.

Margaret answered. "It pleases me that court is leaving your past behind you. I understand it must be hard seeing Anne the center of King's affections now!" Margaret looked at the ground, hoping she hadn't said anything offensive.

Margaret nodded. "I feel you could have made it that far, unless I am wrong. I haven't seen Anne in a long while. I do hope to see her soon."

Margaret nodded, sad she hadnt caught any mans eye yet. "Dearest cousin, no man has made me aware that he wishes to court me. It makes me sad seeing other ladies having men fall at their feet when none will pay any attention to me. Perhaps you can teach me ways to lure a man my way." Margaret said, hoping for the help.

yes i will help you perhaps we can both help each other as no man will touch me now looking down sadly my fathers much more concered with Ann snd George

Margaret smiled. "I am happy that you are going to help me. A man will touch you again, you will be compared to Anne now and we could use that to our advantage. How is George faring?" Margaret asked, wanting to know.

Margaret looked shocked. "He is to marry? I have heard rumors but thought them untrue. He is to marry the Parker girl I hear. I have not met her but from what I hear she is a good woman."

well i believe her to be a good women as well i have not met her yet smiles at least with father busy arranging marriages around here i can get on with the stuff i like
