they didn't want to fight
But I was wrong． I understand that now． All the Scots lords were afraid of Bothwell， and many of them were his ene-mies． They had an army， and on 15th June，Bothwell and I rode out to fight them．
We met them at Carberry Hill． It was a hot day， and the two big armies stood， and looked， and waited． Their army had a big flag with a picture of your poor dead father，Darnley， on it． Under the picture， there were the words ‘Find my killers， oh God．’
‘Come on， my lord，’I said to Bothwell．‘Our army is bet－ter than theirs—let's fight them！’
Both well rode up and down， and talked to his men． But they didn't want to fight． They talked， and looked at the flag， and waited． Then some of them walked home．
At five o'clock that evening Lord Kirkcaldy rode
Concave Blade from his army to talk to us． He said to me，‘My lady， leave your hus-band， and come with us．We don't want men to die．’
