Today's Excerpt:

Jane remained in her bow because the queen had not given her leave to rise. Emma reached for Anne’s hand, but Anne threw it aside and surged to her feet. She marched forward and grabbed the necklace, ripping it from Jane’s neck and almost yanking the girl off her feet.

The ladies, enjoying this entertaining spectacle, gasped. Anne threw the necklace to the floor and spat, “Get from my sight!”

Jane bobbed lower, her face even paler than usual, and scurried backward toward the door. Anne watched her go, bright hectic patches of color on her cheeks, her black eyes flashing.
