:26:00
He shall be recalled.
:26:03
I don't know how to thank Your Majesty.
:26:07
But it's doubtful if he'll come.
:26:09
I shall command it.
:26:15
And when he takes you
in his arms again...
:26:17
...thank heaven you're not a queen.
:26:21
But I thought to be a queen...
:26:24
To be a queen is to be less than human.
:26:28
To put pride before desire...
:26:31
...to search men's hearts for tenderness...
:26:34
...and find only ambition...
:26:37
...to cry out in the dark
for one unselfish voice...
:26:41
...hear only the dry rustle
of papers of state.
:26:46
To turn to one's beloved
with stars for eyes...
:26:51
...and have him see behind them
only the shadow of the executioner's block.
:26:58
A queen has no hour for love.
:27:01
Time presses, events crowd upon her.
:27:05
And for a shell...
:27:08
...an empty, glittering husk...
:27:11
...she must give up all
that a woman holds most dear.
:27:18
And now...
:27:21
...fetch me Master Francis Bacon.
:27:23
- Master Bacon?
- At once.
:27:25
Yes, Your Majesty.
