six endless months on a ship long days

of travel by horse and rail London feels

a lifetime away and yet mother as I near

my new home I sense my journeys only

just begun

and now what they call a mem cell this

title elevates my status from a simple

school mistress to a foreign woman of

some authority yet it strips me of no

name names huh I'm trusting has not had

to wait

how will India and I discover one

another how has she come to know me and

maybe a memsaab but I am first your

daughter and my words and thoughts will

always find their way to you the world

away from this strange vibrant land

name's up we'll wait here I shall bring

your tonic

please just leave the tonic on the table

I keep my dearest possessions in this

room

indeed I wonder what she is thinking as

do i and I wait to like her strange the

frame it's not expected but it rather

completes the image a study in contrast

it was a wedding present from my wife

such a lovely gesture she must love you

dearly

more than anything my grace more than

everything ga

further on you would test my patience I

may have tried to enjoy the wedding I'm

sorry but I couldn't just vanish and

leave our home in at school mrs. Roberts

was helpful she didn't want to be she's

not the sort of mother that approves of

her daughter marrying a Rajah and

running off

you've always only heard each other

I shall rekt her tomorrow mm-hmm

she may visit one day when the canal is

ready your cherished school I almost

couldn't bear leaving the children they

are in good hands though not my hands I

am in your hands thank God for that

goodness what a long journey had I known

I hardly would have come

I must have withered away on that ship

giant Roger thought have I grown off

perfectly

prepared all this for me I wanted to do

so much more parades music flags dancing

wanted to show off my pride and I forced

you to smuggle me human mind

everyone should lead their Noorani

I would like that too soon

yes may wise what you don't want to

scare you away

thank you you always know me so well I

have known you forever

heaven bloody hell Vinnie darling I'm

sorry I know you sneak in like a thief

in the night what cunning and how

desperately romantic I think we've been

invaded and you not a word

I suppose this is Alan thanked for

opening the doors to your happiness my

dear I do not recall inviting you in

absolute evil my own blood oh heavens

where am I

I've known grace almost as long as I've

had the peculiar pleasure of knowing you

I'm so glad that you finally come my god

that was completely useless without you

and I was bored I hardly think that's

possible I'm miss London I've missed you

now sister not only are you here you've

come at my favorite time of year was it

too hard to leave the children

impossible nearly impossible an England

oh that was far easier now here you are

it's written in the stars patchouli the

Noorani of example would call this your

own they are all yours that must make

you a little happy come your first

lesson

mom sir please could I have a cup of hot

water

thank you tell the riders are hot that

is sister requests as present sakti the

people need a ruling class as much if

not more then rulers need the service

class the delicate dance of Therma is

that what you call it you love to dance

look there you are the tailor should

come today for Grace's fittings what

things you can't possibly dress like a

school mistress on your first trip to

town I don't think she's ready for such

an adventure that's the perfect first

adventure she has already proved as kill

a travelling in secret no one will know

who she is

unless we want them to and she must see

holy well my protest stop you no no

tell me down

they're still following us Dada's I have

no clue comes here hello khun is Hana

dul the medulla zone near the local

cable pursuit but she owned a car et

cetera

festival of springtime I always come

into town to spy on the fun

the queen of Begum would have this built

out of devotion 300 years ago but it

still trills did you know that such

passion can exist after all this is just

a will oh no it must be so much more it

breathes with life so you can see this

tomb inside i'm lakshmi and this is my

home but you said this was a well yes

and my home a temple and a school you

were teaching those girls to dance the

ones that want to learn it yes others to

read write anything how noble of you not

noble necessary their days are spent in

the service of someone or something else

only here have they any freedom and I'll

here for them it is life's greatest

pleasure to offer yourself to that which

brings you joy

Lakshmi may I call you my friend inside

that would be no no please grace grace

so I see you I've met the new Rani of

Begum poor miss placing a queen is

surely punishable by death

we must go Nia bye

right now what have you got tossing

around in that head of yours Vinny I

loved it there you cannot cannot won't

be seen there with an outcast who gave

up her home her position everything to

dance and play the common children she

doesn't appear to be all that unhappy

Laxmi has given up everything and she

did not have nearly as much at stake as

you the world in broad daylight during

Holi you knew we were going sightseeing

unnoticed

and I made a friend I look hard you are

radiant but Laxmi be here dancing just

look at us no just look tonight everyone

will see how India and Britain are

perfect partners Laxmi spoke wonderful

English word answer Laxmi she was not

born a dancer she was a princess darling

it's very dangerous to wander around

town making friends with outcasts

nonsense it was just a tour you are

never just a tourist and here no man is

without enemies and least of all

nobility it is simply the West meeting

the east for the first time how do you

do mmm darling I just worry enter under

our Raja Saab will prepare for the

evening now is quorum I'm coming

please darling no more surprises

ah huh

I look a vegan but I know you've invited

the entire East India Company I have

brought my gods I understood this was a

gathering of friends if you were further

delayed I may have declared war on you

come brother meet someone very special

tea

Jairaj quite lovely darling this is Raja

Kishore st. Tucker and our opponent in

of course I'm so pleased to know you

God names ABS

always look foolish in silence

my apologies your highness may I have

the pleasure and here's my surprise for

you wonderful to see you

aunt Agatha had mentioned it but I had

no idea where to begin looking for you

my transfer was approved one month ago

they saw fit to promote me in the body

I'm so glad for you Nelson I had hoped

to find you somewhere in this vast

country are you happy cousin Gracie Oh

incredibly tell me the truth why these

people here this isn't just the

reception is it he would do well to make

them your friends what are you about to

do the right thing

join me is it too strange even they have

known you for decades

life is different as possible from how

naturally but I've heard this melody

before your sweet smile is just as I

remembered it is quite like humming away

nonsense no other Raja believes the East

India Company's request to meet with us

in Bombay sincere we've discussed this

just think of what help they could be to

our cause what do you is our course

isn't it your own future your own land

of course my friend protect and advance

ourselves before all put this idea of

Bombay to rest for good My dear ease do

not worry for me I do have a handsome

officer to look after we don't know my

new position could place me at odds with

your husband's views really I should

think you have much in common you must

know what this could mean for me I hope

you're not being naive I am so pleased

for you be happy for me I have married

the man that I love it is really that

simple perhaps why just the hips will

have their daily brandy here rather than

in the library yes yes let's mix the old

traditions with the new today you have

met my lovely wife grace our union was

years in the making and shall be a

beacon of not only a love as two souls

but of our two countries we are now on

the threshold of a new age British and

Indian hands must join together to unite

our land as one people all Indians will

be fed educated free to pursue their own

destiny with the help of our British

friends our modern India shall be born

and so my cherished old friends esteem

new friends I raised my class the

promise of the future let's celebrate

the blossoming of New Hope's new

ventures a new spring Oliva Marek let's

celebrate

but I don't good tuning

more some people versus more some

that you

I know what you're doing I doubt that

very much

gee accordin Bombay these friendly

gestures the sham of a marriage I may

not be well-traveled like our hosts but

I have twice as cunning

beg your pardon I wonder what was your

role in this arrangement did you bargain

your cousin for your status with the

company if I were caught in your

position I would be very careful what I

bargained for my status we will see

about that

you will not lead me to the

slaughterhouse

we will never consent to coming to

Bombay whatever will you do with your

days my dear madam you somehow walk it

by the times than even I but grace is

not encumbered with the same

responsibilities you surely can aid her

in finding a past time collecting rubies

perhaps actually I'm a school mistress I

see no reason why my work cannot be

useful in this country that's a champion

idea

I can Commission a school the other

palace of course you can teach English

to the best of pupils I suspect that I

might better serve the local children

teaching them where they are so your

bride seems unable to control her

adventurous impulses I find her impulses

inspirational darling a proper school

will allow only the most privileged

children to receive an education who

teaches the rest teaches them what

they've got no time for books most

children who want knowledge cannot get

it

little girls least of all so why not go

to where I can really touch them perhaps

at that lovely well in fact on a visit I

met a wonderful woman who is the venn in

town a woman of your position cannot mix

with a lower class my position My dear

you've married into significant

positions then I can make best use of

that position by doing some good for

others simply being a queen can be

terribly consuming how lucky for you my

dear that I'm here to help

dearest mother I am filled with a sense

of peace and purpose in India the years

of love that Jai Vinny and I have shared

as children in England has bloomed into

a mature fellowship that unites us as

friends and now as one family

each day is a discovery and as my

husband tends to his beloved garden I

too desire to nurture my new life so

that it may bloom and bear fruit you

have taught me to always do good I can

only hope that the dear children here

will want to learn what I am anxious to

share I manage with the few novels I

have brought but mother might you send

some school books so that I may start

proper classes I wait for your reply

grace never get much of anything really

names up captain Roberts please

this is an unexpected visit it was

lovely seeing you at the reception

I thought to return the surprise what

brings you to make the journey here

today not a social visit you know me too

well cousin I have come for your help

what kind of help could you possibly

need I intend to start a school for

Indian girls you want to teach Native

children I taught at home I can teach

here fine why come to me

surely the Rogers and Abel benefactor he

is but the company has access to books

unlike any available here the British

would do well to help Indian children in

need I am in no position to offer you

the Queen's assistance if you were

always a poor liar cousin your esteemed

position surely affords you some

authority in this matter if you were to

champion such a noble cause then I feel

sure there's more at stake here than

noble causes imagine if you were to aid

these people if you the company were to

win their favor there my grace we need

their favor these people you would like

to help what do you know of them how can

you know which of them can be trusted

you are implying that I cannot trust my

own judgement you do not know harsh

reality these people you call your new

friends will hurt you they will betray

you and your husband the moment they can

my husband and I only seek to do what is

right no one can find that offensive you

bask in the glow of your lofty ideals

but this is harsh frontier territory why

do you think we are here for charity the

Queen's interests in the company are

growing rapidly future of independent

kingdoms is bleak you'd be better off

encouraging your husband to cooperate

with us instead of wasting precious time

as I'm silly school for natives

there is a new coldness in your voice

that saddens me it is not coldness

cousin it is the weight of truth you

cannot stop me I wish I could Gracie

listen to me I'm not mentioned the

reason for your visit to anyone I have

no desire to turn our good name into a

laughingstock but and listen carefully

you must never return there is nothing

that even I can do for you from here

heard like your friend your new run is

gonna be a meme sir Raj appears to have

lost his mind the gibberish of a speech

made that quite clear our good friend

has become a total stranger it's that

white woman she's poisoning him no no

it's the most common of creatures a

simple fool in love What nonsense by

attending the summit in Bombay to sign a

treaty he's surrendering himself to the

British and then the land and the people

of the most loved Raja in this area

under their control how soon before the

rest of us will fall my friends I share

your fears all of them but the memsaab

is no threat to us and I'm confident

that this treaty will not be signed the

new way your friendship against his

marriage the bond between our families

holds much weight if he does sign the

treaty

regardless then we must act to protect

the honour and legacy of what is ours

and will you take responsibility to

administer this protection yes

giant Raj can be easily handled one way

or the other by me

a story ech saddest particle it is

becoming difficult to tell the teacher

from the pupil either not running the

same mother

this country has seduced me with its

rhythm and its melodies my work grows

more rewarding with each passing day and

I see now the wisdom in marrying my

dearest friend his constant love and

support enables me to embrace my future

all the world seems to be changing

around us India redefines herself every

day and I am changing with her she is

the garden in which I am blooming into

the woman I am meant to be I am into

your mother and perhaps India is me I

thought we might go to the lake I've

just got to get up in it'll be cooler

there I'm convinced my friend our

princely states must act in unison if we

are to achieve progress then you'll not

go to Bombay Jennifer has been talked

that your marriage is weakened your

resolve to act in the best interest of

your people thank you for looking after

me brother

few words from me and all will know that

my interests lie only with my people we

will do what is best together

Jane trust this is no game

I assure you I can defend myself against

misbehaving children do not see the

world through a child's eye please it

will be the end of us all if you'll

excuse me my friend she's not up there

is she

such peculiar behavior for a queen the

Queen does as she pleases Vinita this is

not England if it appears you cannot

control your wife rumor and gossip could

ruin us still to see your happy

the women in the bride's family pray

that the newlyweds enjoy long lives and

fertility their consummating the holy

union before God exciting for kaya I was

frozen with celebration tomorrow she

will not be here I am did not dance

anymore she's a wife now her

extraordinary talents are sacrificed for

her role is devoted wife

in 1498 the queen of begumpet

commissioned this well after the death

of her husband it took many years every

day and night she would think of nothing

else she watched as it was built stone

by stone and gifted it to the

townspeople so they would always

remember the beneficence of that great

king from that time on is the news for

water gatherings worship theater refuge

during the heat and war and so much more

in this culture devotion knows no

boundaries such a beautiful story but

what of sacrifice when that was one of

his uses when the well was completed she

drowned herself in it so that she would

be by his side in depth and lives beyond

Goodin Jim himself Patra Ravana carry

out I'm a heavy Johnson surveying your

kingdom from above or just your most

loyal subject he sure seems anxious

about something

is it the Treaty in Bombay he thinks

it's a trap then it's foolish to go

perhaps you shouldn't can the company

really advance your people more than you

and I alone this has been too long since

we've been alone it seems I've lost you

to that blasted world have I what lost

you

I wish I were able to explain it the

happiness that being there brings me at

history involved the most tragic of love

stories do you love me that much

do I stay here let me build a proper

school for you and you could keep your

lovely eyes on me at all times would you

feel trapped at this moment I am

such tremendous beauty

let us not ever leave you stay as long

as you like

I'm starting to video without

civilization it may be time to take a

trip to Bombay but you can't go what

will I do without you you seem to be

thriving without me with all your stolen

trips to the well don't really you must

spend more time being a wife and less

being a teacher

please Vinnie some Rajas have several

wives to satisfy their very dreams

should have heard of the custom how do

you suppose they all keep busy today yes

my good friend here reminds me that

progress can only be made when All Hands

act in unison we were concerned that you

would not join us Cheers

it has taken the white man to bring all

of us together in the same room to the

common enemy you called those who aid

and allow us to devote resources to our

people as enemies

there will be no resources for the

people after that access oh do not

falter brother your loyalty to your

marriages every gentleman here knows

where my loyalties lie

gentlemen please we must arrive at a

cause of action that shall protect all

our yes there can be no unity amongst

leaders who have no interest in the

greater code Jay you surely do not

believe the Queen's interests line not

with her purse but the greater good

who has paved these roads that link us

together which one of us has built a

railroad that we may trade with nations

across the world have we begun schools

that our children will not live off

their lies illiterate your marriage must

be a great charity to all the poor of

the land she who controls the bed

controls the throne then a Maya to

understand yours are controlled by

servant girls sure we cannot stand

together with men whose only interest

lies in their own decadence

I will go to bong gay alone if I must it

will be by my example that you will see

how wrong you should not leave we've

never acted separately you and I know we

are not of the same flesh blood or mind

you are normal my brother

then they

it's an honor to have you as my guests

our husbands are as brothers please

think of me as your sister

Raja Saab is very generous to allow for

such extravagances men never have a say

in such matters

and they are far too easy to influence

isn't that so crease I should hope that

my marriage is not based on control

come dear everything is about control

let men wield their guns and armies in

public we women can cripple them at a

glance and destroy them but a caress

that is real power a woman hardly needs

to go to such extremes tell me dear have

you visited the containment as a matter

of fact I have they have no interest in

you of course they cannot marrying an

Indian is reviled by them which leaves

us and our ways my husband and I have

managed well and are living quite

happily but how can you satisfy him when

you spend your days and nights with

commoners such men have large appetites

I beg your pardon my dear surely you

cannot think that a Raja can be

satisfied with just one wife and which

is pale and simple like you I must warn

you trace is impatient with foolish

advice sisterly advice learn this well

memes I hope all creatures must adapt or

they will perish

please I could stay no I will be fine

thank God I desperately need to get away

smell the bomba city air just don't

forget we're homies never look after my

brother we will see you soon

mm-hmm who's these for me

your mother miss me I will miss you Joe

mother my heart cries to read your

letters they do not come and your

schoolbooks

have you forgotten to send them J and I

continue our work but I wonder if we

envisioned different futures I worry

that his good trusting heart is leading

him only towards miss her disappointment

and that I am helpless to stop him

does the Queen truly want to turn these

peace-loving people out of their homes

and into poverty I am torn in my own

path lead me away from those I love when

they give me the strength to follow it

No long ago I made a choice a choice to

unite our two journeys a choice I am

proud of I pray for the strength to

support him when I know he needs me

he will not lead us astray off the path

that we set on together

on behalf of the company I commend you

on your singular wisdom and foresight I

only wish my brothers were as interested

in progress and they shall bear witness

to a world that is changing around them

the future of your people is envy Abel

disgrace who has been my inspiration to

look after my people yes cousin we all

admire your good work darling I will

sign the accord with the company in

Bombay they have agreed to my requests

have they yes there's not a moment to

waste we shall leave in the morning so

you have decided to go we both shall go

this will be a great moment for us

Suraj her presence will add nothing to

the situation in fact it may be

detrimental my wife and I act together

on all things she's my most trusted

confidante Raja so by acting alone on

this you were in grave danger and I

cannot protect you until the accord is

signed I urge you not to put her in

harm's way we shall be well-protected I

assure you I would never let any harm

befall grace

cousin

darling I wish you would not go do you

know what you asked of me my cousin has

blinded you from the truth

Nelson is acting as an agent upon my

request do not trust him he shares my

commitment to progress it's our chance

to bring both countries together J this

will be the end of peace and prosperity

for us for the people we love so dearly

nonsense

to adult me darling I do not doubt your

desire for progress nor do I doubt that

the British have no interest in it they

need our support to thrive in this

country and we need theirs modernize it

but acting with the British in this way

will not do that my dear gray such good

will come of all this and we have a

golden opportunity to be the first to

witness a new era it's a trap J no this

is the victory that I've dreamt up for

ages you more than anyone know how much

this means to me yes you have not told

long and hard to hand the fate of your

people to those whose only motive is

greed I have seen at the well what their

true motives are not another word about

that well of yours how could you be so

dismissive grace the Accord will be

signed I need my wife by my side and as

your wife I beg you not to endanger your

life in this way do not do this please

this means everything to me

now will you or will you not come with

me you know act against my conscience

your conscience tells you to choose your

folly of your husband do you not ask me

to choose between who I love and what I

love grace there is only one question

which do you love more

do not ask me to choose between who I

love and what I love

one question with

I love you more I will come with you

anywhere

always

I had never imagined my pen would form

these words I write to you mother but it

does he is gone it came so simply

silently his death yet now it screams

inside me

you are alone grace I am alone where I

once felt fullness I now feel nothing I

am left only with the very thing that

took him away from me what was this

piece he dreamt of and suffered for

these treaties this cruel progress

I am NOT a member up nor Amaya Queen I

am just a woman struggling with her

sorrow

I search for the object of my devotion

in all things around me even without the

gardener the garden remains I stand

alone in it

he's worked left before me my life left

before me I am helpless against it

I am destiny Corps Jay Nelson I am glad

you came I was expecting a slightly

different reception as you know this is

a time of uncertainty for our state

precisely why I've come to take you back

with me my husband was an active

supporter of the East India Company now

wait just a moment your husband has been

murdered what on earth do you think is

going to happen to you Vinnie will rally

the aid of our allies it should not be

difficult as my husband was a much-loved

leader if the British were to provide

military protection in the interim I am

certain we could regain our security in

due time and thereby continue support of

the Queen this is madness you are a

widowed memsaab and at that alone

amongst dangerous strangers it is high

time you end this Sharad I can take you

to Bombay unnoticed I cannot leave my

home when it needs me most this is not a

land of order

Rogers behead each other for much less

than the promise of power laws and

customs change on vicious bloodthirsty

whim you will not frighten me with your

lies and if the Indians do not destroy

you what defenses do you have against

the crown

you have no heir to secure your position

Feeney has gone - she has gone and I

have written to mother she has friends

of position within the company surely

she can arrange something no

you foolish girl

no one is coming

your little experiment has failed

not even your grand love can change the

color of your skin come home grace

end this

grace if another Raja does not devour

you

the Queen will

Cartier fucking bother me some money

are you alone no it's not safe for you

to be here

not even with him but you know this you

will use them well I know come the

children will never forget you yes you

have changed me also really I have seen

you face your fire

each one of us has a soul and at the

heart of the soul is a fire for most

people it's a vague yearning or a

distant dream buried within themselves

they fear their fire will consume them

and it can but for those with the

courage to face it it illuminates the

truth

and we must be devoted to it regardless

of where it leads us

I have watched as you asked life

questions and marveled when it answered

you it will again

he was my truth my absolute gird hold on

to him

this is all there is for me he is all

there is

I see only him then trust and follow

your fire

na tad bhasayate suryo na

yet that one I never done that

am i evil souls evil okay Donna - such

tired even regarding recruiting

statically Sharia devotee

we played on he's saying

poor thing the horrible things they are

saying the monster that murdered your

husband is laughing and you have people

blacken your name they all think you

could murder him and for the British no

less those lies mean nothing to me but

your husband was so they loved the

people demand justice and can do

anything to get it

what will become of you our people know

that I could not be capable of such a

heinous crime that I lived for him

of course I know this a woman's husband

is her God and yet they demand to know

how Laden was put in his brandy and who

would know that jayaraj drinks brandy

every night at precisely the same time

in this room so it was you or Nadya

I love Jairaj as a brother a foolish

brother who made knife choices you

disgust me

and you they don't week alone you have

nothing left first soft protection of

your pure love never speak of it again

you know nothing of our love just like

your husband

silly doc love progress unity sister

heed this advice end the shame you

brought into your husband's name and

people nothing here belongs to you can't

you see that I am immune to all your

poisons your love him then summon the

strength to ensure his place in heaven a

wife's greatest honor

leave this place

you can never take what is ours

grace after tomorrow one way or another

I will never see your face again

but know this you will meet the end you

deserve

shush tardy arty means I've got you a

nickel mommy good

better take the Johnny Khojaly you got

anything over this noise

we just

yes

maybe almost there

ha this is wrong with the caretaker oh

this is great

I thought you might love it being here

will be good for you good for me so this

is all your families your stew for the

next couple of weeks it's not much but

it's quiet and you want to get rid of it

how much can one man maintain and now

there's the hospital to worry about you

are doing good work you know you should

be proud of yourself professor is the

only thing one can do that can bring

some honor to my family oh sure you will

be ok you've got me just don't tell

anyone in the class I'm just a crusty

old Asian Studies professor and my dear

friend you're right this is gonna be

good

waking up late watching you work napping

all day getting over it

ha

how dramatic I can't believe this all

belongs to you tell me about this palace

these places always have a horribly

violent and romantic history of course

it does this palace was one stone by a

benevolent Maharajah he was thought to

be kind with his people but he made one

big mistake he fell in love with a

British woman Candace and that's not the

half of it

my great-grandfather many times removed

was his closest friend he tried

everything to dissuade him from making

such a mistake she was a commoner and it

was obvious that she would harm him that

love is blind and she did her best

friends were beggars and which is and

she was turned away by her family so I

suppose she just went crazy and killed

her husband really whether she did it

for the British all the which we don't

know but she offed him what okay okay

that's fine not a problem you go in no I

can be there tomorrow

it's

is everything okay it sounded like bad

news I I didn't mean to startle you

well you did is this all your handiwork

I was just admiring it ah sure looks

like there's a change in plan what are

you doing here where else would I be

ah sure this is Vijay if you'll just

excuse us why you stay here I told you

to vacate the place big time I don't

care what you say you're not selling

this house well I am selling it and you

have no say in the matter

art but there's so much lovely work here

you won't be able to capture the spirit

of this house but I can at least take

years old it's always been preserved in

the same condition all these years it

never looked better than this it's

magnificent

so I came to India on a scholarship and

I how many years ago obviously I never

left silly to say with India really cool

to me

Brit named Asha has to end up here right

of course it could be destiny that

brought you to India you know I used to

believe in those things yes sure

my marriage was destined not to work out

no matter what Raj and I did tried we

felt apart anyway it does feel good to

talk like this what what about Neil my

professor my friend sweet man bad timing

I should be back soon I'll bring some

more film for you Neil

um it'll just be Vijay and I here would

you like to come with me I just thought

you might like to stay back no no no

it's just um well do you think I'll be

okay alone with him he and I have some

issues but he's harmless so tell me who

is he I don't know exactly what do you

mean he just arrived one day I was a

young boy my parents would spend winters

here I would be on holiday from school

my father would tell me stories in the

garden before bed

in one night you walked in Fiji the gods

didn't stop him thinking he was one of

the servants children but his parents

were never found God knows we search for

them they were raised almost as brothers

sharing everything except that he never

left the house so we moved without him I

left for England and university and VJs

stayed here

my mother always felt that he willed

himself to come to us and he's lived

that way since as per his will

yes very and he won't be a problem for

you he keeps to himself and the voices

in his head

aren't you just everywhere

fuck yeah he scared me

don't you think Raymond is genius I

don't really follow music just gardening

well not just stories I can tell you a

tragic story okay I'm listening

well in this palace 150 years ago the

real Raja and Ronny epic ampere were

brutally murdered they were both

murdered by the Raja of a nearby state

by his very own friend why their love

was renowned throughout the land a

strength was so pure that its its

goodness spread to the people other

Rogers were envious of this rare love

that they could not comprehend

is that why you don't want Neal to sell

the palace because you're romantic I

can't change his mind about that by the

way so don't ask me to try what's your

story simple I'm hurting and tired and a

friend has offered me a place to find

some peace

your marriage huh no I really don't know

why my marriage failed don't regret

something that wasn't meant to be don't

lose faith you might be a little late

for that

in this palace 150 years ago the real

Roger Iranian Big Apple were brutally

murdered shukriya thank you

flowers pretty lady no thanks

time I felt like this could be my home

strange

of them are over a hundred years old why

would you want to hide this from me

ballas after the Queen went insane this

is where their Archer was murdered

ancestor was the Roger's closest friend

so he's not right what is it mister what

would really care to touch you and hold

you and never let any harm come to you

it is with a contented heart that I take

these final steps

I expected to change the world around me

only to find myself to be the one that

had changed you have not read my letters

mother but I feel you have heard me

somehow I was foolish to hear loss I did

not lose J I have not lost you what I

now know is that all that I have loved

and learned in my life presents itself

to me still and it informs and guides me

towards my destiny
