The Flawed Mistress (The Summerville Journals) - Plot & Excerpts
I had no one to talk to, but that was what I preferred. I had my books into which I could disappear, and even had there been anyone, I would not have had anything to say. What could someone like me say to anyone? My only experiences of life were not something I wanted to speak of. I had become a recluse and rarely left the house. The King’s marriage to Jane Seymour had produced a much wanted heir and it was the celebration of the prince’s birth that brought an invitation to court and it was not one I could refuse. I was very much afraid that now that I was older, I might once more attract the King’s attention should I show myself at court, even though it was said that he was much devoted to Queen Jane. I had no male protector to accompany me, either, which was not a normal state of affairs. I had no idea if I was supposed to go alone or bring one of the manservants with me. My uncle could not be presented, as he was a commoner, but I decided it was high time I paid him a visit anyway.
