It was not by mistake that Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, had, for this somber pronouncement of Henry the Eighth's passing, brought together perhaps the only two individuals in Britain who would have cause to fall into the sincere and copious weeping that young Elizabeth and Edward Tudor now commenced.
Despite a turmoil far greater than Edward's -- for her place in the scheme of things was, and had always been, convoluted in the extreme -- the thirteen-year-old Elizabeth emerged as comforter to her half brother's hysterical grieving.
Elizabeth was steadily regaining her composure, as much owing to her genuine concern for the miserable little boy who lay, perhaps for the last time, on his nursery cot as to the knowledge that seeing her father never again would be only slightly less often than when he was living.
