“I did not kill my husband，”I said．“And when l came to England， I did not want to kill your Queen． I asked her for help—I wanted to go back to Scotand!But，my lords，she put me in prison for twenty years! Twenty years， my lords!I want to be free—don't you understand that？ when men write to me and try to help me， then yes， sometimes I write back!Why not？ Is that wicked， do you think？”
