The Court Of The Midnight King: A Dream Of Richard III - Plot & Excerpts
1483: Jane [Archbishop Rotherham took the Great Seal to the Queen]… about whom he found much heaviness and rumble, haste and business, carriage and conveyance of her stuff into sanctuary: chests, coffers, packs, fardels, trusses, all on men’s backs, some breaking down the walls to bring in the next way. The Queen sat alone, a-low on the rushes, all desolate and dismayed, whom the Archbishop comforted in the best manner he could, showing her he trusted the matter was nothing so sore as she took it for. Sir Thomas More Kate had forgotten the bustle of London, how beautiful it looked in the early morning swathed in vaporous fogs; how ugly it could feel underneath. The streets purred with gossip. The Duchess of Gloucester’s resplendent party caused a stir as they passed along the streets. Bystanders stared, bowed, even cheered. The cheering startled Kate. She had to chide Nan and Ursula for waving back. Crosby Place had high cathedral walls and an interior of bronze and gold leaf, black stone and blood-red walls embellished with golden motifs.
