Secrets Of The Tudor Court Boxed Set - Plot & Excerpts
Others were not as prudent. A screech of rage from the Duchess of Somerset sent all her ladies scurrying for cover. She prevented my escape by shouting my name just as I reached the door.Wary, I approached her, braced for a slap. She’d boxed more than one of her ladies’ ears in the past. I bobbed a curtsy. “Your Grace?”“Do you know what that jumped-up country housewife has done?”“No, madam.” Nor did I know who this “housewife” was.Lady Somerset’s nostrils flared. “The queen dowager has secretly married Tom Seymour.”I felt my jaw drop. I took a quick step back, but there was no blow aimed at my head. She was too busy cursing Will’s sister. Once the duchess had been Queen Kathryn’s devoted friend. Now she looked upon her as a bitter rival.Her displays of temper went on for days. She had convinced herself that her brother-in-law had married the king’s widow in a bid for power. She suspected Tom Seymour of conspiring to put himself in his brother’s place as lord protector.
