Unemployed Lady-in-waiting

Subject: Unemployed Lady-in-waiting Mon Oct 05, 2009 6:34 am

As all of you know, I was lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine of Aragon and my sister, Queen Anne Boleyn. But she sent me away and 100 pounds a year aren't enough.
I am willing to be part of the ladies of any queen or court!
I look forward to any job offer!

No one?

Well maybe I'll return to the country and skin chickens and stuff!

Perhaps you could ask Her Serene Majesty my wife, should she turn up again.

My good aunt, there is always a place for you at my court and I am sorely lacking in loyal female company.

Oh, dearest Marie! Come to my court! You could be my 5th Marie *squeals in delight*.

Oh I would be delighted Your Majesty! But I still have to think about it. Maybe you could tell her? *winks and smiles*

@Elizabeth Tudor
Your Majesty *curtsies* I would be delighted! My daughter is already at your servce, I don't think she would mind! Can I make it a season with you and then a season at Queen Marie's? That if it doesn't bother you my niece

@Marie Stuart
Your Majesty *curtsies* Your 5th Marie? Oooh! I would be glad yo join you too! But please just give me a few days to decide

If thou thinkest it possible to serve two Queens with impartiality then twud be a great joy to have thee in my service and share thine fine companianship with mine cousin.

My only condition would be a promise. That at the moment thou findest thineself pushed to choose betwixt Marie and myself in thine loyalties that thou inform me of this immediately. Then I may release thee to the sole service of my good cousin. I would not wish thee to be used as a pawn between us.

@Elizabeth Tudor
Oh no my dearest niece, I've been thinking about it! How foolish of me suggesting to go to the two courts! I might be charged with *hesitates* treason...!
I decided to go with you, that if you still want me!
You shall find I will be your most loyal lady *curtsies*

@Marie Stuart
I am sorry Your Majesty, I decided to go with my dear niece, we are kin after all!

Twud be dangerous indeed my lady, hence I didst make the suggestion that would allow me to help thee to remain safe.

I would be most pleased to have thee in mine service and I believe twud be a great joy to thine most beloved daughter Lady Knollys.

Mayhaps I canst suggest - it it please our good cousin - that thou cudst visit Her Majesty's royal court in Scotland on occasion. We do send ambassadors to each other's realms but as Queens and kinswomen mayhaps our more delicate and less political matters may be better served by a lady such as thineself.

Twud please me my lady to have thee attend us both during the present festivities and of course to enjoy the pageantry for thineself.

Of, course good Marie. If thou wisheth to serve my cousin, please do so. There is no finer Queen in Christendom!
