"I- have gone too far this time. I know it! I will be lucky to escape with my life! I do not think I will -
I feel I will not be long here. Edward will either release me soon or have me executed - and something tells me it will be the latter.
Will Richard persuade the king to let me live? I think the king will be adamant. He is afraid of me, you see, afraid of what he suspects I know!
He will do this because I have a secret about him that I found out by accident! If revealed, it would blow his world apart and that of his vicious queen - who is no queen in truth - and that of his children!
The whole succession would be put in jeopardy! He is terrified that I will open my mouth and tell what I know!
So he cannot let me live, fearing what I could do with this knowledge!
I am to die, not for my many indiscretions, my jealousy of him, or my past treachery - he forgave me that - but because of what I know and could reveal at any time! I could destroy them all!"
