 * Dear Diary,

What a good and comfortable friend you are. I have to be so careful as to what I say and who I say it to in the king's court. It weighs heavily on my heart - what a burden. I am so indebted to my dear friend Gertrude. She has saved me from a number of embarrassing situations. Oh my, the time I walked in on her and Claudius in the maid's closet going at it like rabbits - what a terrible shock! It was only her that saw me, thanks be to God or I surely would have been banished from the court - even the country - so secret was their liaison.Her secret was safe with me, but I do wish that they would be more discrete. I can see them flirting a mile away - he filling her glass with wine, dancing holding her much too tightly, oh what scandal!! And now this, the king dead and gone and she and Claudius married. I couldn't speak my disapproval- that would mean death for sure. I am her ever loyal lady friend, her confidant and supporter. Who would she confide in if not me? She is so naive. That Claudius is so devious - a beautiful new wife and the throne to boot. I must keep my wits about me or I too shall be "gone" Keep well till next time, my faithful diary. ||
