Vivian Pickles: Mary, Queen of Scots

Quotes 

• Mary Queen Scots : Why, even at Tutbury,when I was grievous ill, even then you showed me no kindness.

  Sir Amyas Paulet : Your immediate needs were taken care of.

  Mary Queen Scots : My bed sheets were never changed!

  Sir Amyas Paulet : Indeed they were, madam.

  Mary Queen Scots : Only when I complained most vigorously!

  Sir Amyas Paulet : Then perhaps you would have been wiser to complain sooner.

  Mary Queen Scots : You did nothing for my comfort in that wretched house. Small wonder I fell ill. Every corner was a pissing place. The middens bred vermin, the damp knotted my bones,and the bad air mortified my spirits.

  Sir Amyas Paulet : That was at Tutbury, ma'am. Surely you are more content now that you have removed.

  Mary Queen Scots : How can I be content in a prison?
