Activity 2.20 - Bernice

Here we have to write a short monologue for the mother character when s/he realises LRRH is missing.

Will he know not to harm her? Come on Maud! Pull yourself together. In a few minutes the announcement will be out that the Queen is dead and you'll be

Maud claps her hand over her mouth and looks around her. No one has noticed anything.

MAUD (quieter this time and visibly shaken): And you'll be safe. Yes. you'll be safe. And so will Rosie and she'll never know, and no one will ever know.
