A Marriage for Catherine Lucie

Could anyone suggest a marriage for the new lady, Catherine Lucie, who has come to court??

Oh my! So forward in thy search for my half, oh surrogate sibling mine!

A quickening upon thy works, I pray thee.

My dearest Catherine, I am being so forward in the search as no respectable woman is unmarried in this court
Except for Lady Josclyn, but that is because there are not enough unmarried men that she likes at court


It is nice to have thee at court, Catherine, I do hope thee will enjoy it here

I do believe I shall, little brother! Indeed, to such an extent! How go thy good and godly works?

So far, dear sister, not very well, I have not found a marriage for thou, but I will

There is nothing wrong with being unmarried my Lord James. Marriage is not a matter to jump into lightly.

As usual, Sir Nicholas is correct. I myself was engaged nearly 20 times before marrying my beloved Isabella. One must carefully consider one's actions, for marriage lasts for life.

Indeed, Your Highness, Nicholas. We have been discussing this, we were thinking... If Henry was in a good enough mood, as Catherine is young, fertile and her mother has provided many boys that she and Henry could be married

Henry ... *looks to see if he is about* Henry is not ... well he has not the best reputation as a loving husband ....

but I am quite sure if she is intrested in the match Henery would concider it

Oh, I know that.... but if she gives him sons, then he'll be happy

Henry? Happy ? .... I would not wish him on my sister

Henry, happy.... possibly.... if he gets a Duke of York.... One that isn't illegitimate.... then he will be happy

If I may... I would not wish him on my daughter, niece, aunt, or any other relation. She can surely do better.

Quite right, I think we can find her a better match

One of your nephews, Your Majesty?

Oh bother still! For I should like very much to amuse Sweet Nicholas. Ah well, such is the role of the wench in modern societye.

Although I daresay, if one is still looking, might this tidy rapture of royal boys find my humble self a sturdy youth with ribboned hair and poetic tongue? I wouldest grace in my gratefulness...

amuse me? Why wudlst thou suffer thineself with such a task? How wudst thou conceieve to amuse such a dark soul?
