Sovereign (Matthew Shardlake, #3) QUOTES

1 " Perhaps you may find work at court again.”
“When the Queen is dead? Perhaps to be a servant in the household of a new Queen, watching to see how long she will last, what secrets I may accidentally hear that could get me into trouble? No, I will never go back to work there, whatever they pay ... They say at Whitehall Lady Rochford has gone mad in the Tower, screams and raves and can make no sensible answer. The poor Queen is held at Hampton Court, Jesu knows what state she is in. Still, a woman must smile and be cheerful, must she not?” She twisted her face into a parody of a girlish smile, then turned and ran from the room. "
