"The people did not like me." she went on.

"They hate people to be in command if they are not of their blood. They

said Henry could not beget a child and that I was too friendly with

Suffolk.

They implied that Suffolk was the father of my child. The cruel lies!

They would say anything to discredit me. I hated them."

There was too much hatred." I said.

"Life is cruel. When I was with child I was so happy ... so certain

that everything would be all right. They did not hate Henry as they

hated me. He was so benign, so gentle, so patient, but, of course, he

loved learning more than power. He wanted to be a scholar. How happy

he would have been in a monastery ... or a church -although many men of

the Church seem to be as ambitious as all others. But Henry was doomed

from birth. And then, when we might have had a chance ... the madness

overtook him. Do you know he was not aware that he had a son? For

months after the birth he was unaware of it."
