| [00:16.47] | Chapter 9 A death |
| [00:21.53] | Queen Mary stopped writing then. |
| [00:25.24] | Yesterday afternoon,7th February 1587, |
| [00:31.74] | we heard a horse outside our window. |
| [00:36.70] | Mary looked out. |
| [00:39.52] | There was a man there, on the road from London. |
| [00:44.50] | He had a letter from the Queen of England. |
| [00:49.74] | In the evening, an Englishman, |
| [00:53.76] | Lord Shrewsbury,came to see Mary, |
| [00:58.27] | 'I am sorry,my lady,'he said. |
| [01:01.69] | 'But I have a letter from my Queen. |
| [01:05.07] | You're going to die, tomorrow.' |
| [01:10.85] | Mary did not move. |
| [01:14.10] | 'When?'she asked quietly. |
| [01:18.65] | 'At half past eight in the morning,'he said. |
| [01:24.31] | 'I am very sorry, my lady.'He went away. |
| [01:31.76] | We did not sleep much that night. |
| [01:35.47] | We talked and prayed to God, |
| [01:38.89] | and she gave me her letter to her son, James. |
| [01:43.90] | 'Give it to him, Bess, please,' |
| [01:49.12] | she said.'And tell him how I died.' |
| [01:54.89] | 'Yes, my lady,'I said. |
| [01:59.17] | And so now I am going to tell you. |
| [02:02.42] | King James.This is how your mother died. |
| [02:08.63] | At six o'clock she got up,prayed, and dressed. |
| [02:15.78] | She put on a red petticoat first, |
| [02:19.52] | then a black dress, and a white veil over the dress. |
| [02:26.75] | The veil came from her head to her feet; |
| [02:32.02] | she could see out through it, |
| [02:34.53] | but we could not see her face. |
| [02:37.84] | She looked like a woman on her wedding day. |
| [02:43.09] | When the Englishmen came we went downstairs with her. |
| [02:48.96] | Her little dog walked beside her, under the veil, |
| [02:53.89] | but the Englishmen didn't see that. |
| [02:57.60] | Six of us went into a big room with her. |
| [03:02.20] | A hundred people stood and watched. |
| [03:06.51] | A Protestant churchman came to talk to her, |
| [03:10.76] | 'My lady,'he said.'Pray with me-' |
| [03:17.45] | 'No,'she said.'Thank you, but no. |
| [03:23.79] | I was born a Catholic and I'm going to die a Catholic. |
| [03:30.52] | I think God understands that. |
| [03:35.75] | 'she prayed for five minutes, and then stood up. |
| [03:41.79] | The executioner came towards her. |
| [03:45.69] | He was a big, strong man with an axe, |
| [03:49.78] | and something black over his face. |
| [03:55.21] | 'I am sorry, my lady,'he said. |
| [03:58.80] | 'I don't hate you, but this is my work. |
| [04:02.33] | Please forgive me.' |
| [04:05.85] | 'Of course I forgive you,'mary said. |
| [04:10.87] | 'I am old, and tired, |
| [04:14.31] | and you're going to open my prison doors for me. |
| [04:18.98] | I am going to see God.Do your work well.' |
| [04:26.55] | Then she looked at me and her friends. |
| [04:31.18] | 'Don't cry for me,ladies,'she said. |
| [04:36.51] | 'Please, don't cry now.' |
| [04:41.68] | She could not walk to the block, |
| [04:44.81] | so the executioner helped her. |
| [04:48.74] | He took off her white veil, |
| [04:51.51] | and then he took off her black dress, |
| [04:54.67] | and put it on the floor. |
| [04:57.75] | She stood there, in her red petticoat, |
| [05:01.65] | with a smile on her face. |
| [05:04.58] | Then the executioner put something over her eyes. |
| [05:10.26] | Very slowly, Mary put her head on the block. |
| [05:16.94] | 'The Lord my God is my one true friend,'she said. |
| [05:24.54] | 'I give my life,oh God,into your hands.' |
| [05:32.40] | Then the executioner lifted his axe, |
| [05:36.63] | once… twice… oh God!three times… |
| [05:44.84] | and her head-her poor,poor head,fell on the floor. |
| [05:52.49] | It was very quiet in the room after that. |
| [05:57.20] | It is a little thing,a head-a very little thing. |
| [06:03.90] | But there was so much blood-blood on her red petticoat, |
| [06:10.69] | blood on her black dress and her white veil, |
| [06:15.54] | blood on the executioner's shoes, |
| [06:18.73] | blood all over the floor. |
| [06:21.69] | Blood, blood everywhere. |
| [06:27.67] | We all looked, and said nothing. |
| [06:32.40] | The executioner put down his axe and stood quietly. |
| [06:38.31] | And then Mary's little dog came out from under her bloody dress and veil, |
| [06:46.69] | and walked slowly, unhappily, |
| [06:50.12] | through the blood towards her head. |
| [06:54.96] | My lord,the story of your poor mother's life finishes here. |
| [07:00.93] | We, her friends, cry for her, |
| [07:05.38] | but that is how your mother died. |
| [07:09.13] | She died like a Queen. |
| [07:12.62] | A good lady and a famous Queen. |
| [07:17.81] | Mary, Queen of Scots. |
