He was very dead
Darnley laughed.‘You are my wife, Mary—not David Ric-cio's!’he said.‘so why are you with him every evening?You never talk to me!’
‘I don't talk to you because you are never here!’I said.‘You are always drinking with your friends! You aren't a king, you're a stupid boy!’
He laughed again. It was not a nice laugh.‘Well,’he said.‘Perhaps I am a boy, but that is better than David Riccio,now.Do you want to go and see him?’
I did see him, five minutes after that. He was very dead,and there was blood all over the floor. Poor David Riccio. He sings to God now, not me.
I looked at Henry Darnley, my husband. He had a stupid smile on his face. But I think he was afraid of me.I looked at him a long time, and the smile went away.
