but that's wonderful. you underestimate mary. yes. hen was it that people stopped thinking of ambition as a sin, and started thinking of it as a virtue? until i married you, thomas. and i was happy to give it up. what's to smile about? i'm a mother with one child on his wedding day looking like he's been condemned to death. another banished abroad, in disgrace. and a third whoring in public with an adulterer. but will she be happy when he leaves her? because you know that's how it will end. god? he turned his back on all this a long time ago. just be aware. these `gifts', this `favour' can go as swiftly as it comes. these rooms belonged to the duke of buckingham. once the king's closest friend. now his head rots on a spike. your majesty. mary? stop it! both of you. what shall we do about mary? and the child? or have we forgotten them already? i think you've earned that privilege.
