Grrrr. If I buy you a Speedo "suit" will you put it on for me?

Ned, my love. We enjoyed most greatly reigning over the Dubuque Renaissance Faire with you as our consort. After the years of lonliness, it is a joyous experience, having such a man as you, at our side. We are blessed.

Margaret, my sweet, you have been rather silent about our upcoming nuptuals with the Duke of Somerset. Although we were the best wife we could be to your father Philip, (Lord rest his soul) he is gone now and a future without a mate seems most dismal, indeed. Rumors have reached our ears that you do not fully approve of the match. Think you your mother too old to love? Think on how merry the court will be again, with your Mother's happiness brimming over on to all around her.

(a copy of this message has also been delivered to the Duke of Somerset, so he is aware that all is not perfect between mother and daughter at the moment - i.e. the Duke's Renspace)

Good Morrow Sir Edward!!! How are you? Sorry i am still using to use more Ren. faire lingo!!! So how have you been? I can't wait until this summer!
