England- 1553- Edward is dying of tuberculoisis; the throne keeps awaiting either for Elizabeth (20-year of age), Mary Tudor (38) or Jane Grey- Northumberland’s daughter- in-law;
In the court:
I Edward’s courtier: Have you heard the news, Elizabeth is coming to London soon!
II Edward’s courtier: The flowerish Eliza will definitely cause lots of troubles. Her beauty and wisdom will touch every courtier’s heart!!!
I- Are you sure ? My heart beats quicker when Jane Grey dusts the floor with her dress.
II- I see, you feel tempted by the view of her golden jewellery and hairstyle
I- Every courtier here will be amazed, not only me !
II- But think of Georgiana, her thoughts are so pure, her red hair covering olive complexion, her hands and her rosy cheeks of innocence....
I- Slow down... or you’ll fall in love with our future Queen!!!
II- Don’t even dream of it any more!!! Her Protestant way of thinking will lead her to the Tower of London where only ravens will admire her beauty!!!
I- Maybe you’re right!!! Her sister Mary will take out the crucifix to chase her protestant thoughts away!!!
II- Anyway is that any courtier who will pine for that blackish Mary???
I- Rather to England’s lands ... she isn’t able to move even the dogs’ hearts let about courtiers!!!
