Private correspondance between Lord James and Lady Catherine Lucie

La Ferdinandito, you say? I do hope not. I would like to acquaint myself in decent standing with the Marquis d'Pembroke ever so much! But ,if it is not to be, then of course. The Ferdinandito it must be.

The Marquis of Pembroke is likely to accept you if he should meet you... he has a particular... infatuation.... to the Scottish Queen and she for him... but he is willing to marry

Ferdinandito is a cute child.... he is the son of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Isabella of Portugal, who is here! Go and greet her, she is in the hapsburg lands in the topic called 'Hunting, Jousting, etc'

Go and giver her your regards, she may take you in as one of her ladies

Ah, a young child! I love children, brother mine. THis may prove happy, after all! Done and done.

*she goes to meet Her Highness Isabella, her blackwork gown tripping at her heels. And then, a swift catnap, as she feels empathy with her brother's newly fractured nature.*

Kathryn, do try not to offend Isabella, won't you?

Perhaps we could find a place for you in Isabella, Holy Roman Empress's household?

Hast we a place, then? I very much wish it. I have always wanted to play the sweet governess; but hen, it shall not be playing, shall it?

No, dear sister, it shall not. I hope you're good with babies. I will be able to help as Isabella, The Holy Roman Empress has took me in too!

Oh how wonderful! this is indeed a bit of joyous news. Shall we revel to-nite in our newfound goode fortune?

Whyever not, dear sister. Perhaps we can find you a husband in the process? I may ask Isabella, The Holy Roman Empress if I can marry one of her daughters

OH how delighted i shall be if thou succeedest in this thy fondest of endeavours! Shall I b a bridesmaid for thee, fair James?

Yes, of course. I do hope red and white go well with your skin complexion

I do believe it will, Brother Mine. Allow me a theoretical incursion... REd Velvet and Pearls?

red dress, white top part, red beeds

ah. i gathered as much. mehopes my bosom will not be cut too low... I do not fancy THOSE types of raiments... they disfavour my skin and shape.
WHAt kind of fabric., may one ask? will there be pearls? I suppose not, as I remember Isabella her highness to be fond of them...

Isabella, is likely to allow pearls. The tops will be cut to just above the bosoms.... and It is likely to be silk

Ah. One is heartened by this, then. I cannot but look forward to the dancing and the feating we shall partake of to-night, brother mine! I shall humbly await thee at the hour of appoint.

Oh yes. I will enjoy watching you dance, as I cannot dance myself
