Jeanne Marine Quotes

Nicolette When the king returns, he will bury them in those new clothes. Scotland is in chaos. Your husband is secretly sending an army north.

Isabella How do you know this?

Nicolette Last night, I slept with a member of the War Council.

Isabella He shouldn't be telling secrets in bed!

Nicolette Englishmen don't know what a tongue is for.

Isabella This Scottish rebel, Wallace. He fights to avenge a woman?

Nicolette I nearly forgot. A magistrate wished to capture him and found he had a secret lover. So, he cut the girl's throat to tempt Wallace to fight, and fight he did. Knowing his passion for his lost love, they next plotted to take him by desecrating the graves of his father and brother and setting an ambush at the grave of his love. He fought his way through the trap and carried her body to a secret place. Now that's love, no?

Isabella Love? I wouldn't know.

Longshanks Scottish nobles have routed one of my garrisons, and murdered the noble lord.

Edward I heard. This Wallace is a brigand, nothing more.

Longshanks And how would you deal with this brigand?

Edward Like any common thief. Have the local magistrate arrest him and punish him accordingly.

Longshanks Leave us. Wallace has already killed the magistrate, and taken control of the town. Stand up. Stand up! In the morning, I depart for France to press our rights there, and I leave you here to quell this little rebellion. Understood? Is it? One day, you will be a king. At least try to act like one.

Edward Get away from me! Convene my military council!

Nicolette I hope your husband to Scotland and meets Wallace, and then you'll be a widow.
