Cozy and snug, the bedroom contains little more than a wooden bed covered in a worn quilt, a small dresser with two drawers to hold clothes, a lamp on top of the dresser, and a woven blue rug.
Bedroom, Inside Cottage
the groundskeeper of the castle
his wife
I don't love my husband. I've been cheating on him with the stableboy. I would do it again, too.
I am not your wife. Not until you help me get rid of my husband as you promised. Oh Susan, let's not speak about that tonight. Can't we just forget her for a while? How can we forget? My husband will return in the morning and he knows I've been most unfaithful. We must plan his demise and see it through tomorrow or all is lost! Fine, fine. I'm only a groundskeeper though, not a hired hand. How do you expect me to kill someone?! We will use the poison I got from the witch , as we planned you fool. That dirty witch, I don't trust the ole hag. I bet that's just water spiced with turmeric! It's not a matter of trust. She always delivers what is promised...for a price. A price which I gladly paid. Now, are you going to help me or not? Can't we just cuddle up and let this be for the night. It's just too much after all of the wall repairs I've done today. I'm absolutely wrecked dear! I promise we shall finalize our plan this Sunday. You idiot, there is no time for cuddling! Help me or you'll die too! Every night with this for two weeks, you're beginning to make me long for solitude my sweet. Now, I've got to wrangle a shark out of the moat tomorrow. I'm going to bed and that's that! If you walk out that door, we will both be dead within hours of my husband's return. Are you too stupid to grasp this? I told you yesterday! THE KING HAS SENT HIM TO BATTLE. We have time you anxious woman.
