Speaking Tudor
Amazing News! Modern science has developed the ability to bring people from the past to our time. It's a huge secret, of course, but I have discovered the method and brought four characters from HER HIGHNESS' FIRST MURDER to 2010. In the coming weeks, you'll hear what they have to say about our time, their time, the best of times, and the worst of times.
First to speak is Simon Maldon, apprentice and part-time sleuth for Elizabeth Tudor.
"I am Simon, and there is so much to say about your time that I cannot think where to begin. So much wonder! So much that I would never have believed possible! Yet there are things that trouble me, too. I will write on both as things progress.
"For today, let me tell you of a wonder I enjoy very much: the shower. At first I was reluctant to try it. The little cage seemed confining, and the idea of taking off all my clothing was odd. But once I was assured that I would be alone and that the cage opens easily from the inside, I agreed to try it. What a wonderful feeling! Water of whatever temperature one likes cascades down, washing away dirt and even easing aches and pains.
"I confess that I smell like a woman right now, for the hair-cleaning stuff I was given is quite flowery. Still, it is a wonder to feel so refreshed. I'm not sure I like the feel of 'blue jeans', but the shirt I now wear is quite soft and comfortable. However, I think I will not be allowed to keep it, for it has someone else's name emblazoned on it, someone named Izod. He sounds like a wizard to me, so I will be careful to return it in good condition."
