TNGF
SELECTED
Queen Mary I
primary
A frail woman in her early forties, with a gaunt face and sunken eyes that still hold a regal intensity. Her once vibrant auburn hair is now streaked with grey and lies limp against the pillows. Her hands, clasped over her chest, are thin and veined, the fingers trembling slightly.
Lady Jane Dormer
secondary
A young woman in her late twenties, with a slender yet graceful build. Her fair complexion is framed by auburn hair neatly tucked under a French hood. Her delicate features and expressive green eyes reflect both intelligence and compassion.
Archbishop Reginald Pole
secondary
A gaunt, elderly man in his late 50s with deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and thin lips. His pale complexion is marked by the lines of age and the strain of his office. His hands are long-fingered and slightly tremulous, accustomed to holding sacred texts rather than weapons.
Physician
secondary
A middle-aged man of scholarly bearing, with a slightly stooped posture from years of bending over patients. His thinning grey hair is neatly trimmed, and his sharp eyes betray a keen intellect. His hands, though aged, are steady and clean—a testament to his profession.
Chambermaid
background
A young woman in her early twenties, slight of build with a pale complexion that contrasts with her dark brown hair, neatly tucked under a linen cap. Her hands are rough from work, and her eyes are red-rimmed from silent weeping.

Dialog

Queen Mary I Reginald... cousin... I feel the shadows lengthening upon my soul. Have my sins... been too great for God's mercy?
Archbishop Reginald Pole Nay, Your Grace. 'Per misericordiam Dei sumus salvati.' Through God's mercy we are saved. Receive this holy unction.
Lady Jane Dormer Your Majesty... shall I send again for Doctor Wendy? Or... or perhaps the Spanish ambassador?
Queen Mary I No more... physicians... nor ambassadors. Only... the comfort of Holy Church... and faithful hearts.
Archbishop Reginald Pole Let us recite the Pater Noster together, Your Grace. 'Pater noster, qui es in caelis...'
Queen Mary I Sancta Maria... Ora pro nobis... Elizabeth... tell her I...
Lady Jane Dormer Oh, sweet Jesu... she is gone. May the angels lead her into paradise.
