“You were doing so well. Getting along with Philip and the other Spaniards; and the Spanish ambassador, Feria, who’s done so much for us. What were you thinking of? What were you doing at St Paul’s anyway?” reproves Amy when Robert returns to Penshurst. “Kindly refrain from speaking to me like that, Amy. Remember that I’m your husband and what I do in the city is my own business.

He’s just like his father, always plotting and gambling on the future. It’s like a giant game of cards to him but with higher stakes.” That evening Henry Sidney calls us all together to talk about the future. He has to stay in favour with the Queen and therefore must distance himself from any suggestion of dissent. He’ll follow the official policy as far as religion and support for Prince Philip is concerned. There’s a snort of disapproval when he says this and it’s from Robert.
