“I will now take you to see his majesty my lady”, “but first I think you should be dressed appropriately”. “If you think I’m going to wear one of those heavy gowns with a stiff girdle underneath your mistaken,” I wear jeans and track suits at home, no wonder the women can’t conceive they are so tightly bonded in.”I do not know what you say, jeans what are they? Some sort of flower”?

I give up, “well it better not hurt putting it on, I’m not used to heavy clothes “.

I ended up wearing a long satin dress with no bodice underneath it was still heavy but i flatly refused.

We walked out the door into a very dark smelly corridor, I suddenly realised were I was? Hampton court, “oh I love coming here in the summer I said”, Maddy as I now called her looked at me as if I was really stupid, and you cannot have been here before.

I couldn’t really explain so I told her I must be mistaken. After several turns of the corridor we arrived at a massive hallway, and just ahead was two very large doors, Maddy patted my dress and knocked on the door and scuttled away leaving me in view of a larger than life man who was warming himself at a fire.

I didn’t know where to look, he still kept the same way not moving, so I went up and tapped him on the shoulder he whizzed around so quickly I fell on the floor, as he proceeded to laugh, and laugh.

I rose very quickly and shouted at him to stop laughing, who did he think he was?
He immediately stopped laughing and a stormy look came over him. “Who do you think you are talking to”?

Well not someone very well mannered i thought.

“I am your king and you would be well advised to remember it”.

“You are not my king we don’t even have a king, you have had me brought here to give you baby boys I have been told”?

“Ah you are the lady from the future”?

“Is that all you have to say”? I have just fallen on the floor and you are laughing at me, what a horrible man you are?

“My lady you are indeed a person from the future your manners are terrible towards your superior man”? This man, was going to hear a very sharp tempered women from the future in am minute, he was really annoying me.

“Listen let’s get a few things straight you are not my superior and my manners are fine thank you”, “I did not want to come here and if you think I’m giving you a baby you have another thing coming”.

His face twisted and went very red he was about to open his mouth, when I interrupted him and said if you lay a finger on me I swear I will do something I regret.” His face fell then guess what he put his hands on his waist and laughed. Ten minutes later he wiped away tears and said that I was very amusing, and wanted to know about my life. He changed from laughter to temper very easily.

I told him to sit down as my story was much longer than his and maybe then he would realise that I couldn’t help him out if you know what I mean. This was going to be a long day.
