Mary Queen of Scots Page #3

---

lam a prisoner now, dear cousin.

cannot believe this is happening to me.

The child of this traitor

is growing within me

and I do no'! know

how to bring it to safety.

How will I know

when I'm really in labour?

You will know.

You will know.

You will know.

- Should I call Lord Darnley?

- Certainly not.

How can I possibly maintain a pose

as serene and confident as you,

when inside I feel like screaming?

You cannot know what it feels like

to be a mother surrounded by vipers.

Maybe you are right' never to marry.

My dearest sister,

we must work together

since the birth of my son

is a chance for both of us.

It is truly our son,

since the future of our one day

united kingdoms rests on his shoulders.

I want you to know

that I love you.

You can be absolutely certain that

the future King will be in good hands.

I was hit by the the sudden realization

that he's always been right by my side.

I've wasted so much time,

but must it now be too late?

Oh, no, it must be stopped immediaiely,

that way spells disaster.

In my end will be my beginning.

This country is torn

between two faiths.

This will foster

yet more ill-will,

more misfortune and discord.

Idiot.

All the years I longed to touch your hands

and all l get is a lump of gold.

You look splendid, De Croc.

My apologies for these severe words

of disappointment my dear Elizabeth.

I find myself consumed

with an immense sadness,

though the Royal baptism should he

the occasion for great joy.

If you were here, you would see

l put on a good show.

I do not think anyone in Scotland

has seen anything like I'?!

Everything has turned out well.

I have a healthy son

and a secure future.

Yet the woman within me

is not satisfied.

I'm besieged by a new force

that I do not know how to meet.

Should I surrender or should I resist?

Can I count on my ancestors?

Much depends

on the gardeners you choose.

A poor choice can ruin your plantation.

Keep that in mind and your

young apple tree shall flourish.

Never has it been like this before.

I have found something

i never dared hope for.

I know everyone will turn

against me and condemn me.

Don't call it sin.

It is true I conceived

a child with my husband

but' nothing has prepared me for this,

a new realm,

where lam transformed

info something wondrous.

I've always had to make

my own decisions

and act on my own instincts.

You're not alone any more,

I dare say, Your Majesty.

I've been waiting all my life

for a man like you.

For him I have risked

dignity and conscience,

For his sake I have come to regard

my friends as less than nothing.

For his sake I would fain

renounce the world,

I would gladly die

that he might rise.
