The Tudor Rose, Margaret Campbell Barnes
Frightened by her anguish and by the churchmen's solemn faces, Richard felt the budding manhood he had clung to so desperately deserting him. He turned his back on them and caught at her dress.
And because she wept Richard wept too, and they clung together so that the gentle Aboot had perforce to part them. The Queen turned away, covering her eyes with a dramatic gesture and leaving the boy sobbing alone in the midst of them. It was one of those devastating scenes which the Woodville Queen seemed almost involuntarily to create.
" Scarlet " by Stephen Lawhead.
ReplyDelete" In all these things, I was tested , in small ways , and never openly. Still, through a word or gesture , or a glance exchanged, I soon came to understand that, while they accepted my presence among them , they did not wholly trust me yet."
Sounds good to me!
