Anne-Elisabeth Devereux Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Room of Anne-Elizabeth It is a small, but comfortable room, a large walnut bed resting against the east wall. The bed is hung with teal velvet, the fabric trimmed with gold tassels. Across from the bed is a stone hearth whose crackling fire keeps the chill at bay. Small porcelain doves have been affixed to the edges of the mantel with silver bows and to the tie backs of the drapes and bed curtains. A window is set into the south wall, overlooking the Long Walk and Castle Hill. A small carved walnut table and chair set rests to the left of the window while a small door, hidden behind a teal curtain with thick tassels, beside the fireplace opens into a little closet. Candelabras rest on the table and mantel, casting long shadows over the polished wood of the floor. Anne-Elisabeth was looking forward to Lord Grey’s astronomy event. As she had not yet had time to set up her own telescope on the ramparts, she looked forward to looking through one of his. The last time she had viewed the heavens had been at her estate in Cornwall during recess. She had been away from the sky far too long. (Just a quick post to ensure she can attend the event if it happens.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
