Teaser Tuesday #128

Ed ecco di nuovo la rubrica settimanale Teaser Tuesday, creata dal blog Should Be Reading, che si divide in poche, semplici fasi:
1_ prendi il libro che stai leggendo
2_ apri una pagina a caso
3_ scrivi un breve brano (stando attenti a non spoilerare)
4_ scrivi titolo e autore

"Jane," she said sternly, "you have been born into a family of the royal House. People in our position lead public lives. We have power, rank, and wealth, but we also have duty and obligations, and as women of this family, we must be above reproach. If a noblewoman or queen sins as Queen Katherine has done, she sets her husband's very inheritance, his titles, lands, and riches, at risk. In this case, the succession to the throne itself has been disparaged, for if the Queen had borne a child to one of those traitors she sinned with, she could easily have passed it off as the King's, and taht couldhave led to a bastard of base blood sitting on the throne of England. A wife must keep faithful to her husband, and adultery in an aristocratic woman is a vile crime and is rightly punishable with death."
I do not know what adultery means, but I know what death is. As soon as I was old enough to ask what the tombs in the chirch were for, it was explained to me. The chaplain told me that, when God decides that a person's time on earth has ended, He summons them before His dreadful judgement seat.
