Chapter Thirty-Eight “And it’s time for an email!” said Clara. “Gertrude would like to know how long you’ve been going out. Thank you, Gertrude.” Anna Margaret received a nudge from Frederick’s knee. She supposed that meant the question was for her. “I think about five weeks. And we never went out. We only stayed home.” Frederick hid his face behind his hands. “What?” she inquired. “Nothiby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Thirty-Seven Joël, who had obtained her number from George, called her on Sunday morning. “Sorry to disturb you, madam, but I have a question.” He paused so she could give him permission to ask the question. Anna Margaret did him that favour, even if she had thought that since they had shopped for her dress together she had stopped being madam. He had not even called her madam then. “by Lise - A Novel Idea
I never go to Amsterdam, it's too far! ;-)by Lise - Tea Room
We could take the train for 1.5h to Amsterdam. They have flights to Heathrow. I'd prefer the train. There we could at least eat and walk. The boys will be 9 and 6 then.by Lise - Tea Room

But I'm already in Europe and would preferably be flying out of my local airport ;-) Eindhoven flies only on Stansted and then only really early or really late at that. We live less than 500m away from the direct bus line to the airport. So we could leave home at 6:30 and fly out at 8:00. Fly for an hour, half hour transit, hour and a half for cheap bus to Stratford. Total time 4.5 hours. Thereby Lise - Tea Room
There were other things he said out of frustration or excitement, in the beginning, that were later corrected as he settled more into being/becoming himself. She still believes some of them, though.by Lise - A Novel Idea
Oh, at least partly ;-) They will still need to discuss this subject in detail, since I don't think they really know what the other is thinking about it. ---- BTW, I think the next chapter may take a bit longer. I kept posting while I ran out of my buffer. And then this morning translation work came in after two months of drought, and we're off to a theme park tomorrow and an open water race onby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Thirty-Six Anna Margaret had gone to her office to pick up the tickets. Frederick stayed in the car. Of course there was a car following them, so he was not entirely alone. He was safe. She studied the tickets as she walked back, but there was no date on them, only that they were VIPs. “Damn, VIP,” she said as she got back into the car. They would probably be on display somewhere.

Next year May we'll be travelling to London for the European Championships and I've been looking into how to get there. Train and plane are about equally expensive, so it will come down to the extras. If we land at Stansted at 8:10am, how long will it take to collect luggage, get to train and board train? The train takes about 49 minutes to Stratford, but the transit time is what may decide what wby Lise - Tea Room
Chapter Thirty-Five “Are you not allowed to live at the Palace anymore?” her mother asked Frederick. It surprised Anna Margaret, who had thought she would not dare. She had been expecting more questions for herself, but perhaps her mother did not trust her to answer any questions properly anymore. “The things I am planning to do require me to have a real house,” he answered. There. It had beby Lise - A Novel Idea

And yes, she should get over herself and tell them, but everyone has some of those things....by Lise - A Novel Idea
But we don't know if she was keeping them away as much before she hooked up with Frederick. They didn't have her mobile number, but they had her landline and her work number. So it might just be temporary until they know her secret.by Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Thirty-Four After dinner he took his laptop and showed her a house. “I’ve been looking.” “At houses?” She could barely sit up straight, but he did not seem to mind that she leant against him. “Yes. The options. You could move in here if you like. It only takes about forty years to get used to everyone knowing everything, but the real disadvantage, in my opinion, that it’s difficultby Lise - A Novel Idea
It's going to happen. In story time soon, not in posting time ;-)by Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Thirty-Three It was a few days after the inauguration. There had been some interest at first – was it true she had not attended Queen Isabelle’s dinner and things like that – but nobody wanted to write about that after the first day when there was so much else, so Anna Margaret had got away with some vague answer and she had not bothered to check what anyone had written. Today was Fridby Lise - A Novel Idea
Speaking of trash, a week ago we were in a theme park and a guy in a queue ahead of me had 'king' tattooed in his neck. And his female partner had 'queen'. I was forced to look at it for twenty minutes.by Lise - A Novel Idea

Chapter Thirty-Two Anna Margaret had been hoisted into her blue dress. There had been a particular dress code for them, so they would not draw more attention to themselves than people of higher birth. Her hair and make-up had been done. She had had a sandwich too, so she was all set to go. There would be other people already at the cathedral; some would be sitting there for a long time. Notby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Thirty-One On Wednesday she had a meeting with the inauguration committee first. They had had two days to do things more openly since the speech and she was satisfied with the progress. A date had been set, too. Lists of guests had been prepared and representatives of the media had been informed they could apply for an invitation. After that André came to tell her she had gone up in tby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Thirty Anna Margaret had set her alarm for half an hour later, feeling she deserved to sleep a little longer. Last night’s disgruntled citizens had gone viral. She did not realise it until she got to her office building, however, having skipped her morning reading in favour of extra sleep. “Will you buy us a beer too?” asked one reporter jokingly. “Benny, I answered your question byby Lise - A Novel Idea
This was just the announcement of it. The ceremony is still to come. Or didn't you mean that?by Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Twenty-Nine Coming out of the meeting it was seven o’clock and Frederick’s speech had already taken place. Her group took two taxis to their hotel and had dinner there while they discussed the outcome of the meeting. Kristina checked the news. “The king held his speech.

Chapter Twenty-Eight On Saturday morning Anna Margaret received an email from one of her sisters. None of them had her mobile phone number, about which she had had many an argument, so emailing was the best they could do if they wanted to reach her and she was not answering her home phone.
