The King is coming. Give him what he wants and he shall be yours to command. Listen to
me girl. You can get married any time if that is what you want. For love. But you will never
have a king at your feet again. Lady Frances? You should know that Lady Castlemaine
is not your friend. She has always been most kind to me.
Her kindness is never without calculation. What advantage could she hope to gain from
someone in my position? Who knows what your position might be one
day. You mean...I must become your mistress?
Say the words and everything you've ever dreamed of will be yours. Everything.
Do you love me Sir? I have rarely felt such a need for a woman.
Perhaps that is love, I cannot say. Would you give me some time to think on what
you've said? Do not make me wait too long.
