This is my first FanFiction, so please be kind. I was inspired to write this by the books I read as a younger girl.
Chapter 1: An Introduction To A Peculiar Lady.
Versailles, France, Year 1774
My name is Coretta Aine Burr. I am a lady and friend of the new queen, Marie Antoinette. Her husband Louis XVI has asked me to be a hired hand to the lady queen, her majesty. She is a most gracious queen, and at times can be very humorous. The gossip here at court is always about the queen and what frivolous thing she has done next. But in all truth, I believe those rumors not to be so. Anyone with eyes could see the adoration the king has for his young queen. No one dared risk speaking against her in his presence.
Court always seems to be lacking in some thing, and to pass the time, it seems scandal is the only ease. As I have been a fine Frenchwoman sense my birth, it may surprise you that I take no pleasure in speaking out against my queen. She is such a lively spirit. It seems she cannot sit for more than a minute before she has us all dancing and singing away our cares. It really is such an honor to be in her presence.
Although gossip is much what is to pass the time, the latest fashions also find there way to our tongues. Neither lady, nor no man can deny the majesties exquisite taste for the most agreeable fashions. It seems as if court is alive with color and life again. It was as if the very walls had shaken off the caked dust to breathe and feel sunshine again.
So much comes to pass at Versailles, that one may notice changes. The biggest change would be the birth of Marie-Therese. She was the Princess of France, and my queens first born. The queen adored her daughter, and spent more time than most parents do with their children. If ever you need find the queen, all you need do is look in upon the nursery.
