The story so far…
Week 14: Devil's Spit / A Painter’s Eye
Jane’s sister Lizzie is at court with her husband, the Governor of Jersey, who is some connection of the new queen’s. Lizzie comes packaged into her velvet and lace, her outlines as firm as her sister’s are indefinite and blurred, her eyes bold and hazel and eloquent. Jane whispers in her wake; her eyes are the colour of water, where her thoughts slip past, like gilded fishes too small for hook or net.
Lady Rochford has her opinions: “Lizzie Seymour must have a lover… it cannot be her husband who puts that glow in her cheeks.”
Later Cromwell notices the way the king looks at her, his hand lingering on her waist.
