world as you do, the better one, and the only way to field it is together. We do greater things when we act as one, when we trust each other as equals. This is not a coronation for a King. It is for a King and Queen.
The choice of a god parent for a royal offspring, even an illegitimate one, is more than an honor. We are speaking about who would raise my grandson in the event that neither Francis nor Lola could. I've offered. And been denied.
Catherine
Francis: You aren't.
Mary: I am! It's been some weeks now but I wanted to be sure and I am sure. I am with child, our child, at last!
I don't think I've ever been this happy in my entire life.
Francis
Your figure's gonna go to hell anyway so you might as well eat up. You are feeding the future King of France!
Catherine
Greer: I can't be ruled by desire. It's nothing to build a life on.
Kenna: Isn't it?
Greer: You and Bash? If I have to hear one more tale of the two of you knocking your bed though the floor...
Kenna: Well, the floor is made of stone, mercifully, although we have nearly cracked the bed in two. You can't overlook passion! It's what brought us together.
Lola: And now I fear your happiness has come to undermine your compassion.
Mary: My compassion is for you! As it is yours that rules you in this moment. Your cage is invisible but it rules you just the same.

Lola: Is there something I left out, your Majesty?
Mary: You were right. It would be better if you were housed elsewhere. The better to keep you out of my sight.
This ball is as enjoyable as a clergyman's eulogy. Why aren't the young people dancing? Not you, of course, in your condition. Louis, saves of this dirge, and take Greer with you. I feel more kindly toward her as we get closer to her marriage with that spectacularly rich Castleroy.
Catherine
Mary: Can you please stop feeling guilty and stay with the people who love you? Stay as my friend, as one of my ladies so that our children can grow up to be as close as we are.
Lola: Nothing would make me happier. Well there is one thing. No decision has been made on a godmother. I want it to be you. I know it puts you in an awkward position, but there is no one I trust more with my child than you.
Mary: I would be honored.
Narcisse: You've heard the rumors, the damning rumors of the treatment of my past wives.
Lola: Do you deny them?
Narcisse: Contrary to the reputation I enjoy, I am not a soulless animal.
Love is irrelevant to people like us.
Francis
