Yes, but either way, shamed or not, I shall be Queen of England, and this is the last time you will sit in my presence.

It is no small thing, this, for a woman: freedom.

I have learned the power of surviving.

Wealth means nothing at all if you do not know, to the last penny, what your fortune is. You might as well be poor if you do not know what you have.

I turn around from the window and for the first time I see him... It is Richard, smiling at my surprise. I run to him, without thinking what I am doing. I run to the first friendly face that I have seen since Christmas, and in a moment I am in his arms and he is holding me tightly and kissing my face, my closed eyes, my smiling mouth, kissing me till I am breathless and have to pull away from him.

I would know you anywhere for my true love. Whoever I was and whoever you were, I would know you at once for my true love.

But I don't forget and I don't forgive.
