THE grim courtyard of the Tower of London was flooded with morning light.

Men-at-arms, the Queen's Guard, and other troops were being marched into position to form a hollow square; in a corner, the headsman, abrutal-faced man with a shaven head, sat on the execution block whet- ting his axe and whistling "Lord Essex at Cadiz."

THE STORY THUS FAR: London, 1596. The 'Earl of Essex and his subordinates, Sir Walter Raleigh and Lord Howard, are just back from the storming of Cadiz, when the Queen-whose mad infatuation with Essex is notorious- summons them. Essex, enraged because Elizabeth elevatos Raleigh and Howard instead of himself, protests, is struck across the face by the Queen, and leaves London. armies defeated in Ireland, she sends Bacon to bring back Essex, who consents only when Bacon tells of the intrigues of Raleigh and the rest. The Queen tries to prevent Essex from Dared heading her army in Ireland, fearing he may be killed. by the Council, however, he vows to go. Receiving no news from Essex, because his letters have been purlained, she orders him back to England. He marches on Whitehall meaning to take the throne. Elizabeth meets him, all is forgiven, and the old love restored, until he tells her that he must share the throne with her, when, without further warning, she consigns him to the Tower,

"Yes, my lord," said one of the guards," she took residence in her apartments above, two nights ago."

"And... no word for me?" "No, my lord."
