QUEEN

Jenna, bring me my looking glass. It is in the chest, in my chamber.

MAIDSERVANT

Yes, Majesty.

QUEEN—INTIMATE

It was a simple thing, a silver-backed glass disk, which I kept wrapped in a doe-skin, safe in the dark.

MAIDSERVANT

Here, majesty.

LORD OF THE FAIR

Is that the one we bought you?

QUEEN

The same. Sometimes I can see things in it.

Sometimes it tells me things. Now, quiet.

SFX: MIRROR MUSIC, DISTANT AND STRANGE.

QUEEN—INTIMATE

She was twelve and she was no longer a little child. Her skin was still pale, her eyes and hair coal-black, her lips blood-red. She wore the clothes she had worn when she left the castle for the last time—the blouse, the skirt—although they were much let-out, much mended.

Over them she wore a leather cloak, and instead of boots she had leather bags, tied with thongs, over her tiny feet.
