You know that as a Queen, you put on an act. You can't always show what's in your heart. The same is true for being a wife. If Francis isn't sharing his heart with you, pretend you don't see. You'll withhold your own secrets from him soon enough. I'm sorry, but you must give up this dream and accept this distance between you. If you need solace, find it elsewhere, in a separate life, with your own work. And if you find that the crown weighs too heavily, well then line it with velvet. That's what I do.

Reign Season 2 Episode 6 Quotes

Mary: But peasants? You have never cared about them.
Catherine: Oh! I may not care about peasants individually, but in general, I care a great deal. And so should you. Our gowns, our crowns, our chateaus - they all depend on the good will of the commoner for a very good reason. There are 20 million of them and one small family of royals. We must have their love. Thank heavens I can buy it.

Mary: Francis, I don't want to play a part with you. I don't want to pretend that I am happy when I am not.
Francis: Mary...
Mary: I know that I insisted you tell me what was wrong, but it was harsh to hear just the same. I didn't realize how disappointed you were for not giving you a child, but I am glad that you were honest with me. That's what we need the most from each other. Give me time. I'll come to terms with it.
