Philippa Gregory Quotes

I Knew Now What My Earlier Passion For Harry Had Hidden From Me. That Although I Had Bedded Him As A Free Woman I Was As Bound As If I Were The Slave. For It Was Not A Free Choice. I Had Wanted Him Because He Was The Squire, Not For Himself ... And It Was No Free Choice, Because I Could Not Choose To Say "No." My Safety And Security On The Land Meant I Had To Keep My Special, Costly Hold On Its Owner. I Paid Him Rent As Surely As The Tenants Who Came To My Round Rent Table With Their Coins Tied Up In A Scrap Of Cloth. When I Lay On My Back, Or Strode Round The Room Threatening Him With Every Imaginable, Ridiculous Torment, I Was Paying My Dues. And The Knowledge Galled Me.
