The Great Hall

I danced with George and he glides across the floor. I can see everyone dancing and it is the most beautiful site.

Of course Gustav my brother is most definitely the next dance. Perhaps afterwards I can talk to your sister while others dance. I would not want her to be left alone at the celebration. Can she at least join in that way. But first my brother I turned to see Henry walk towards me and I smile.

I took Charles by the hand and whisper in his ear. Charles I want to talk to you about something. Maybe when there is a quiet moment we can talk.

Henry took me by the hand and lead me to the dancefloor. . Henry thank you for such a wonderful wedding day.  I must say that you look quite dashing in your suit.  I truly love you and I appreciate that you introduced me to your friend.  Thank you for everything. .

George you are a great dancer. Who will you dance with next when we change partners. I don't know who can I dance with I smile at my brother.

I smiled at Mary as she finished dancing with me.

"Mary, I may well ask Anne to dance with me next. Whom will you ask to dance Mary?

Henry I wanted to let you know that I appreciate all of your efforts to making this the happiest birthday gift ever.  My wedding is perfect and I have you to thank for that.  Gustav has made me feel special and I thank you for introducing him to me.  Plus you look amazing I am proud to call you brother

I smiled at Mary as I took her hand and we both began our dance.

"Mary, I am so glad that you are enjoying your day here. I wanted it to be a special birthday for you. I knew how unhappy you were and I could only hope that King Gustav would make you happy again. I can see now that I did make the right choice and that you are happy. What dance would you like to do?

I looked at my sister Mary then spoke.

"Indeed, maybe you should wait to be asked Mary. Might I suggest perhaps that maybe you have a talk with the Svensson family that are seated at the table and soon a man will come to you Mary.

I look at Katherine and then I whisper back to her.

"Katherine, we can talk now if you wish?

I smiled at Mary.

"Mary, I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed our dance. I am sure you will enjoy the dance with your brother Henry. I myself am to dance with his Queen before dancing with my family. I do think that Rebecca would very much like to talk with you when you can Mary.

I am glad that you enjoyed the dance as well. I see Henry.. Anne is doing well and I will say it. But Anne's sister, Mary, is also here, she would like to meet you. She is a kind person. Is there anyone who you wish that I would meet? I will talk to Rebecca after my dance with Henry. .

Well Charles I wanted to tell you that I am with child. You are going to be a father. I wanted to tell you secretly because I didn't want to take anything away from Queen Mary and King Gustav's day. So would you keep it between us just for now.

Yes quite right. Perhaps I should speak to them. Thank you George for the suggestion. After I left my brother I walked over to say hello to King Gustav's family but I stopped in my track and decided not to go until I was introduced. People my find that rude, instead I went to sit down.

My eyes lit up as Katherine told me that she was with child.

"Katherine, this is wonderful news. I am going to be a father. Thank you for telling me and do not worry it will stay between us for now.

Charles, I am so happy that you are excited about this. I know that you will be a wonderful father. When would you like to tell their Majesties our news. Perhaps after the coronation

I looked towards were George was pointing and there was the King and Queen of Sweden gesturing for me come to see them. I walked slowly over to them. I curtsey
Your Majesties.

As I was dancing with Henry I see that Gustav has asked for Mary Boleyn to come over to meet him. I looked back at Henry. Dear Henry let me go to introduce Mary Boleyn to Gustav. Come and walk with me. We walked towards Gustav as Mary Boleyn approached us. . Gustav I would like to present to you a friend of mine. This is Mary Boleyn. Queen Anne's sister. . I smiled gently to her.

Hello your Majesty. It is an honor to meet you I curtsey. I am happy to have been invited to witness your nuptials. Sweden is an amazing country and I wish that I could see the beautiful countryside here. Thank you for allowing me to celebrate with you here your Majesties. May you both enjoy much happiness I curtsey before them.

I am glad that you are here Mary now please excuse me darling but I wish to continue my dance with Henry. Mary I leave you for a short time Henry led me back to the dancefloor and we continue our dance. . I hope that she will be alright I know that she was nervous to meet Gustav.

"George does thee want to dance with thy sister?"

Hello dear Anne. I hope that you are enjoying the festivities. I just meet King Gustav Queen Mary introduced me to him. He seems to be very cordial.
