Transcript: 1576 - We married in secret and I am sorely regretting it, for Thomas is now in grave danger. Upon discovering the truth, the queen was livid. I have been expelled from court, but Thomas, dear Thomas, has been thrown into a cell in the Tower of London. I pray fervently that the queen acts clemently, given I am no rival to her throne. That is one reason that our friendship has always been so strong.
