The story so far…
Week 34: Wreckage (II) (Part 1/2)
Bess Darrell asks him to come to the Pole house at L’Erber. He tells her he is sending her to the Courtenay house, as his spy. She reveals that she is not pregnant and perhaps never was. She shows him Margaret Pole’s sewing, the treasonous embroidery entwining the emblems of Lady Mary and the Poles.
Week 39: Vile Blood (Part 2/2)
He meets with Bess Darrell, who can provide no evidence against the Poles or Courtenays that would implicate them in rebellion. She wonders where Wyatt is but all he can say is ‘he does great deeds with his Kentish men’ against the rebels.
She darts a smile over her shoulder and melts into the darkness, as fleetly as she came. He rubs his fingers together, as if he had tried to catch at her linen and caught a spider’s web instead.
