Chapter 7 Chapter Six

About eleven o'clock the next morning, before he lost interest in "Ruby's Rose" and the indecent pleasure of reading novels, Marta sent a package whose fun was more worthwhile. Honorable—History recorded by the holy Sir Thomas. Accompanying the book was a note, on Marta's super-expensive notebook paper, in her big, scrawled handwriting: I can't bring it myself, I can only send you this book.Crazy busy.I asked Mimi to go to Blessington Street, and there wasn't a single bookstore that had Thomas.Moore, so I went to the public library to find it.Somehow no one wants to go to the library.Maybe it's because the books there are expected to be poorly read.But this one looks like new.You have fourteen days to watch.Sounds more like a sentence than a loan.Hopefully your interest in that hump means your prickles aren't so irritating anymore.Hope to see you soon Marta This book does look clean if a bit old.After watching "Ruby's Rose" for a while, he found that the printing of this book was no longer exciting, and the densely packed paragraphs were even more impatient.But he read it with gusto.And Moore's book, after all, is about Richard III, the protagonist he cares about.

An hour later he came out of the book, dazed, confused, and uncomfortable.It wasn't that the stories in the book surprised him, some historical events were already in his expectation, but he didn't expect Sir Thomas to write it like this. He slept very badly at night, lying awake for a long time, brooding; troubled and wary, alert, dozing rather than sleeping.His restless heart kept tossing and turning, and the dark impressions and strong memories of his heinous actions made him turmoil. That's all well and good, but when he goes on to say "it's a secret between him and his cabinet", the reader is immediately put off.An atmosphere of secret gossip and servants watching secretly disappeared from the title pages.The sympathy the reader had previously evoked for the guy lying in bed in agony also vanishes after the smug author reveals it.This murderer seems to be even bigger than the person who wrote him.

This is simply wrong. Grant was disturbed when he heard flaws in the perfect story told by witnesses, and he was feeling the same way now. And it's actually quite confusing.Like Thomas who is so respected for his integrity.Moore, the revered Thomas for four centuries.How could Moore go wrong? In Moore's Richard, Grant thought, it was much the same as Marton's. A very evil, but very painful person. "His heart can never be at peace, he can never feel safe. His eyes are rolling around, his body always seems to be guarding against others in secret, his hand is always holding his dagger, and his expression seems to be forever ready to strike again. "

Of course there's that dramatic, hysterical scene in the book that Grant remembers from his school days; probably every school kid remembers.At the council in front of the tower, Richard just before he proclaims himself king. Richard's raid on Hastings was exactly what a man who conspired to kill the Lord Protector deserved.He wildly claims that Edward's wife and mistress (Jane Sueur) used witchcraft to shrink his arms.Then he smacked the table furiously, which was to send his entourage rush in and arrest Lord Hastings, Lord Stanley, and John.Bishop Morton-Ely's cipher.Hastings hastily fled to the country, and was finally beheaded on a random piece of wood, leaving him only time to confess to the first priest he could come across.

It is natural for a person to do it first—anger, fear, wanting revenge—and then regret it. But it seems that he is more sophisticated.He arranged for Lord Meyer's younger brother, Mr. Shaw, to give a lecture on Paul Road on June 22. It was mentioned in the article: "Bad branches should not be planted." Mr. Shaw refers to Edward and George, both the Duchess of York and others Richard was the only legitimate son of the Duke and Duchess of York. How could this be possible? It was so absurd that Grant went back and read it again. But the book really says so.Richard's use of such infamy to openly discredit his mother was only for his own benefit.

But Thomas.Sir Moore said so.If anyone knew the truth of the matter, it must be Thomas.Moore.If anyone knew which famous people to include in a story, it was Thomas.Moore, Lord Chancellor of Great Britain.Sir Thomas said Richard's mother complained bitterly of her son's insults to her.But Grant thought that in general she should be able to understand. As for Scholar Xiao, he was so tormented with remorse that "after a few days he was shattered." Maybe it was a stroke, Grant thought.There is a little doubt.It takes some guts to stand in front of a London crowd and tell a story like that.

Sir Thomas's account of the Prince in the Tower is the same as that of the Amazons, only in more detail.Richard had hinted at Robert the tower guard.Brackenbury, saying that it would be a good thing if the princes disappeared, but Brackenbury was reluctant to join the action.After the coronation Richard set off on a tour of England, and when he arrived at Warwick he sent Terry to London to hold the keys to the Tower for the night.That very night two thugs, Dickton and Forrester, conspired to suffocate the two children. At this time, Dwarf Wintermelon just brought in lunch, so he took the book out of his hands.

As he forked a piece of hash brown into his mouth, he thought again of the face that belonged to the dock. The faithful and patient little brother has turned into a monster. When the melon came back to take his plate, he said: "Did you know that Richard III was a very popular man in those days? I mean before he was king." The short winter melon gave the portrait a hard look. "Just a snake in the grass, if you ask me. Fake, that's him: Fake waiting for his chance." What opportunity are you waiting for?he thought, as the sound of her footsteps faded down the corridor.He couldn't have known that his older brother Edward would die suddenly in his early forties.Nor could he have foreseen (even though they had had a very close childhood together) that George would eventually be confiscated and disinherited, and his two children would lose their claim to the throne.Therefore, the so-called "waiting for opportunities" does not seem to have any basis for argument.And the stunning beauty with gilded hair, besides being hopelessly useful, was a respectable queen, and she gave Edward a healthy group of children, including two boys.The whole family, including George and his son and daughter, stood between Richard and the throne.Of course, how could a person like this who was busy managing northern England and fighting against the Scots (and made great achievements) have time to "fake benevolence and righteousness".

What made him change his face in such a short period of time? Grant reached for "Ruby's Rose" to see Miss Penny-Alice vs. Cecily.What can be said about the unhappy metamorphosis of Navier's youngest son, but the cunning author avoids the subject. She hoped that this would be a pleasant book. If the original logic of the matter develops, it will inevitably become a tragedy.So she played the role of Elizabeth, Edward's eldest daughter, in the final scene of the book. This saves her from having to mention the tragedy of Elizabeth's two younger brothers, or describe how Richard died in battle.

So the last scene of the book is a ball in the palace.Cheerful and young, flushed, Elizabeth looked regal and beautiful in her new white gown and her first pearl necklace.She kept dancing in her dancing shoes, like princesses in fairy tales.Richard and Ann, with their feeble young son, had come from Midham to attend the event.But neither George nor Isabel made an appearance.When Isabel passed away in a silent and difficult birth years ago, George did not appear sad.And George himself died unknown, but George's sudden personality perversion made him extremely withdrawn and won him immortal popularity.

Stunning reversals of the soul continued to occur throughout George's life.Every time his family must have said: "This is really terrible, even George can't think of anything more ridiculous." But every time George surprised them, George's strange ability seemed to be infinite. exhaustive. This transformation seems to have started after he first flirted with his father-in-law.At that time Warwick wanted him to succeed poor mad king Henry VI.Warwick put Henry VI on the throne just to make things difficult for his cousin Edward.Both Dukes of Warwick had hoped to see their daughter queen, but George's insistence on the succession had come to naught the night Richard visited Lancaster's barracks.But for a candy-loving child, the first taste of power has become too much to stop, and in the years to come, the family will find a way to deal with George's unexpected whims, or to make him stop his new antics. folly. When Isabel died he was convinced that she had been poisoned by her maid and that his baby boy had been poisoned by another maid.Edward considered the matter so serious that a writ was issued requiring the case to be heard in public in the London courts.But George tried the pair summarily in a court before his magistrate, and then had them hanged.Outraged, Edward charged two members of George's family with treason in order to condemn him, but George not only did not take this incident as a warning, but instead slammed it as a judicial murder, and the anger of rebellion burned in his heart open. Then he decided to marry the richest heiress in Europe, Marguerite's stepdaughter, young Marie of Burgundy.Good Marguerite thought it better for her brother to remain in Burgundy, but Edward had arranged for him to return to Maximilian to stand trial in the Austrian case, leaving George still in embarrassment. When Burgundy's conspiracy failed, the whole family hoped for a period of peace. After all, George owns half of Neville's land and doesn't need to marry for wealth or to have children anymore.But George had a new idea, for which he married Margaret, sister of King James III of Scotland. At last his stupidity reached its peak.First in secret negotiations with foreign courts, and later in public with the Lancaster Parliament declaring him successor to Henry VI.This, inevitably, puts him on trial in another Congress, and makes it impossible for anyone else to save him. The trial turned out to be an exciting and fiery confrontation between brothers Edward and George, but it was put on hold after George was sentenced to death, as was widely expected.It's one thing to strip George of his status: it's something everyone wants to do and should do.But getting him guillotined was another matter. As the days passed and the judgment was delayed, the House of Commons questioned it.As a result, news of George's death came out the next day, and the Duke of Clarence died in the prison tower. "Drowned in barrels of sweet wine," said the Londoner.This is like a typical East Ender comment on drunkards, but it makes George, who has been depressed all his life, immortal. So George does not appear at the Westminster ball, and it is not Cecily that is emphasized in Miss Peneelles' final chapter.Naville is the mother of the sons, but Cecily.Navier is a grandmother who has bred fine offspring.Although George died disgraced and deserted, his son, young Warwick, was a healthy child, and little Margaret, at the tender age of ten, displayed traditional Neville beauty.Edmund died in battle at the age of seventeen. It may seem like he wasted a young life needlessly, but what is balanced enough is that his body was thin when he was young, so she didn't expect him to grow up; And he has a son who inherits cigarettes. In his twenties Richard looked as if he could be easily snapped in two, but he was as strong as a heather root, and perhaps his frail-looking son would grow up to be as strong as he was.As for Edward, her tall, blond Edward, his good looks may sometimes make him look empty-headed, his friendliness may sometimes make him seem a bit lazy, but his two young sons and five girls have inherited them. Beauty in ancestral lineage on both sides. As a grandmother she could look upon them with pride, and as a Princess of England she could see them as a guarantee.Guaranteed that the crown will be passed on in the York line for generations. If anyone watches the crystal ball at the ball, then tell Cecily.In four years, not only the line of York, but even the entire Blantagnet dynasty will disappear. She will definitely think that person is crazy or has rebellious intentions. But Miss Penny-Ellis did not try to hide it. The family gathering of Neville and Branta Gennet was full of people from the Woodville family. She looked around the room expecting to see her daughter-in-law Elizabeth envied or alienated.This Neville marriage turned out to be much better than everyone expected; Elizabeth was a respectable wife, but the by-products were not so good.This was perhaps inevitable, as custody of the two boys had to go to her eldest brother.Rebs, apart from being an upstart because he was too ostentatious and ambitious, was an educated and respectable man who could take care of them while they were studying at Laudero.But as for the others: four brothers, seven sisters, and her two sons by her first husband, it was too many to bring along with her into the marriage market. Cecily watched the frolicking crowd, from the blindfolded children playing hide-and-seek to the adults standing at the dinner table. install.Woodville married the heir to the Earl of Essex.Elena.Woodville married the heir to the Earl of Kent.Margaret.Woodville married the heir to the count of Aurondale.Catherine. Woodville married the Duke of Buckingham.Jackie.Woodville married Lord Stranger.Mary.Woodville married Lord Herbert's heir.And John.Woodville, disgracefully married to Doveig of Norfolk, old enough to be his grandmother.An infusion of new blood into an old family is a good thing. New blood always sneaks in -- but it's not good when it comes from the same source and overwhelms the sea.Like political lineage in a country, foreign intervention is extremely difficult to digest.Not only is it not smart, but it is also regrettable. However, there is still a long period of time before this new blood can be slowly absorbed.The power that has suddenly entered the old body polity will no longer be so concentrated, will be dispersed, will be static, will not be dangerous and frustrating.Edward, big as he was, knew it shrewdly; he had to keep the country he had governed peacefully for nearly thirty years stable.Never has anyone ruled England like her sharp, lazy, effeminate Edward, with the power of a tyrant and yet with benevolence. Everything will work out in the end. When her granddaughter Elizabeth, out of breath and grinning, ran away from the melee and rushed to sit in the chair next to her, she was about to get up and join them in discussing dessert before anyone thought she was fussy or fussy. indifferent. "I'm too old for this game," she said, panting, "and it ruins people's clothes. Do you like my clothes, grandma? I asked my father to make them for me. He said The old tawny satin I wore would do. The one I wore when Aunt Marguerite came to visit us from Burgundy. There's nothing worse than having a father who pays attention to what women wear .He knows all about people's wardrobes. Did you know the Dove dumped me? Dad was angry, but I couldn't be happier.I lighted ten candles in St. Catherine's Church.That cost all my pocket money left.I don't want to leave England, I hope never to leave England. can you help me grandma " Cecily smiled and said she would try it. "Old Ancaret told my fortune that I would be queen. But there is no prince to marry me, so I don't think it is possible." She paused, then continued softly: "She said England queen, but she seems A little bit drunk, she loves what's in her glass." It would be unfair, let alone lacking in skill, for Penny-Ellis to imply that Elizabeth would marry Henry VII in the future, if the writer is not prepared to deal with all the unpleasantness in between.Assuming her readers know that Elizabeth married the first Tudor king, it is also assumed that they know that her brothers were murdered.So the feasting scene she chooses to close the book will inevitably be shrouded in a dark shadow. But on the whole, Grant thought, her story was well written, so far as he had read it. He might even go back and read the parts he skipped.
