The Queen From Provence
“His messenger brought back a letter from Margaret in which she said that they were preparing to set out at once.Gleefully he went to Eleanor.‘News from Scotland,’ he said carelessly.‘Margaret is well?’ she asked quickly.‘It seems she is very well.’‘Thank God.’‘And very eager to see her mother … and I believe she takes some pleasure in her father’s company.’‘What do you mean, Henry?’‘I mean, my love, that our Margaret is coming to see us. At this very moment she is on her way.’‘Oh, Henry!’‘I knew that would please you. That is why I arranged it.’‘And said nothing to me.’‘Because I feared it might not be possible. I could not bear that you should be disappointed.’‘Henry, you are so good to me.’‘No more than I should be, my love.’To go home! Margaret’s spirits leaped at the thought. To leave grim old Edinburgh for beloved Windsor, Westminster or even York. What mattered it as long as it was England. The South was better though because it was farther away from Scotland.To go home again!
