3. Send It Away

From my bedroom window, I can see Henry and Baby Nathaniel talking to a nun outside. I switch my attention between them and Elizabeth who is a pain to dress. I notice

the nun getting into a carriage with my son. Henry doesn't try to stop her. I hand Elizabeth off to a maid so that I may get my son back. "I love my son. Let me keep him"

I plead with my husband outside. Aggressively, he holds me back from the carriage. "Send it away" Henry instructs the nun and driver of the carriage. My spirit dies within

me.
