My Story: Lady Jane Grey (My Royal Story) - Plot & Excerpts
I have just bid my guardian farewell. I found him in the nursery when I went to see little Mary. It is the first time I have seen him there since the Queen died. He was bending over Mary’s cradle. A nurse was rocking it gently, crooning a lullaby. I stood by the door, not sure what to do. I was on the point of tiptoeing away when the nurse looked up. “The Lady Jane is here, my lord,” she told him. “Ah, Jane,” he said turning to me. “You are to go.” I curtsied and nodded. But he had already turned away, as if he had forgotten me. I felt my lips tremble. So, this was to be our parting. I could not bear it. Quite forgetting myself I began to sob. Suddenly I felt his arms come round me and we cried together. Elizabeth brought Rig to say farewell to me. “We have come to bid you God speed,” she said. I bent my head and Rig licked the tip of my nose. “Look after him,” I said anxiously. I stroked his soft ears.
