Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk and Catherine Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk in “Checkmate”

I'm going to have to attend on the king and that bitch of his at her coronation! What didWolsey used to call her? "The Black Crow".

Can you not plead some indisposition?

I could, even though the king has made me high constable for the day, but if I did, His Majesty would remove my head. And then, I should be genuinely indisposed!

[flirtingly] Very well. So keep your head. It's a pretty head in any case, and I don't want to lose it either. [serious] But store up your knowledge and your anger. Don't act impulsively; it's always a mistake. But one day, with others so disposed, use them both...and if you can, bring her down, and destroy her.
