Dangerously Yours was a half hour show sponsored by Vicks. There were sixteen episodes broadcast in 1944, with eleven of them available to collectors today. Each episode seemed to star Victor Jory as the leading man, and concentrated heavily on romance, with much airtime being devoted to lovers murmuring sweet nothings at each other, and the action and adventure being relegated to backdrop status. At the end of each episode, the announcer would give a very brief teaser for the following week's show.

I bring to your name of honorthrough many generations and a loyalty you need
ne'er a question. I have needof a loyalty such as that, But
you have been considered an enemy inthis court. This court would consider any
(01:57):

a statement to your majesty before yourhey examined it. I tell you this
court is like a rotten apple eatenfrom within. Your nobles are a treacherous
lion thieves, and every one inthe world knows it. But you,
my noble thieves, get out ofthis court before I throw you an irons.
How dare you stand before me andattack my people in such a manner?
(02:20):
A? Dare because I'm a scotand it makes my blood boyal to
hear the things that are going onin Scotland. I come back because,
regardless of my differences with your father, I love my country and my country's
crown, and the wrongs done tothe crown and the country burned deep into
my own honor. You are awoman and young, and in a sense
(02:42):
defenseless, and you are surrounded byan unscrupulous court that has constantly using your
to its own advantage. I admireyour loyalty, but you must know these
things are true. You must havesuspected them. If I have, I'll
not admit it to the world.I am your countryman. Your fight is
my fight. Will you let mestay? Will you let me fight for
(03:07):

you met the Earl of Bothel,Lord of Bigley, Your majesty, is
it your wish that we welcome this, the Earl of Bastel, to your
court? It is my wish,and why shouldn't you welcome me ry?
(03:27):
Since you ask you were declared outlawin Scotland. You went against the king.
The king was wrong, he wasunder the influence of traitors in his
own court. Are you daring toimply? I don't bother We implications Bigly,
but only we accusations. I'm hereto fight for the Queen against any
who would betrayer. This entire courtis loyal to her service. There are
differences of opinion, all that.If it's true, then this court has
(03:53):
nothing to fear from me. Yourmajesty, Will you will you permit this
mental to voice such insults in yourpeasants. We've heard enough, Bigley,
my Lord Bothwell. We are verygrateful for your offer of service, and
we welcome you to our standards.We hereby confirm your hereditary title of Lord
Admiral of Scotland. You will bringyour men here for quartering and make your
(04:14):
home in our castle. Thank you, your majesty, Your majesty. Good
evening, Good evening, your grace. May I join you in your walk
or would you prefer to be alone? You may join you. What does
(04:39):
a queen think about when she's walkingin her gardens in the moonlight. What
should a queen think about? Oh, I suppose great things such as oh,
how much good she will bring toScotland in her lifetime. What does
the Queen of Scotland think about?The Queen of Scotland thinks of her people
walking hand in hand in the springstarlight. The Queen of Scotland wonders what
(05:03):
it would be like to have avillage ball and be kissed in the shadow
of a yew tree. I'm afraidI'm under the spell of the moon to
night. You should not have asked, and I should not have answered.
Why shouldn't you think those things?You're young and beautiful? Tell me where
(05:26):
is his Highness, your husband doneme. I have no idea he has
little love for me or I forhim. He and Lord Bigley rode away
just after dinner. Be aware ofBigley. I don't trust him. I
will. You're staring at me,my Lord. I know. It's as
though I were suddenly seeing you forthe first time, and the wonder of
(05:47):
seeing you puts many things upon mytongue, and yet keeps me for saying
them. Oh Mary, how dareyou kiss me? How dare you throw
me an iron? Send me backto exile? Do with me? What's
your will? But I love you? How dare you? Shall I leave
you, my queen? Now thatI've incurred your anger, Shall I mount
(06:10):
my horse and ride out of Scotland. I'm used to banishment your hey,
only to say the word yes,go go, and never let me see
you again. You're very wise,my Queen, for if I stayed,
I'd kiss your gain. Haven't forgottenonce you were a queen? I might
forget it again. You're lovely inthe moonlight, Mary, Mary, Queen
(06:34):
of Scots. Your lips are softand ripe or kissing. Your eyes are
deep with dreams, And I whoonly wanted to kneel at your feet now,
want to take you into my arms. Good night, goodbye, your
majesty. Bofful, bofful, don'tleave me, don't leave me already.
(07:00):
I'm lonely for you. I loveyou. I love you. Oh I
can't breathe and never love so muchor ran so much. Imagine the Queen
of Scotland running through the streets ofEdinburgh, and you know what gun into
(07:24):
you? You want to chase me? If you remember, Oh so I
was, I must watch it.Oh look, darling, this is the
wishing well. Are you a coin? Have your two coins? Will throw
them in and make a whish here? What did you wish? Did you'd
always love me? What did youwish? Did you'd always want me to
(07:47):
love you? I'm afraid I'm notmy best to dancing. I feel like
a bear dancing with your fairy princess. You look wonderful and you dance divinely,
(08:09):
and aren't the luckiest girl in theworld. I don't like to be
the one to have to tell you, your majesty, but that lovely little
crown of yours is on crooked andyour court is looking definitely shocked. Heavens,
what a breach of royal and one. I like it crooked. It
makes you look like a little girldressed for a masquerie, and I'll wear
it that way always, the LordBaffle, Yes, Lord Bigley, this
(08:43):
court presents your friendship with the Queen. If you take my advice, you
leave this kingdom while you still havea head on your shoulders. Are you
threatening me, Bigley, you fool. You ruined the Queen's name throughout the
entire world. You're forgetting to theking in Scotland and everyone is talking about
you. Now that's a contempt.Will lie. No one could be talking
because we've done nothing wrong. Gointo the city and find out yourself,
(09:05):
Buffle, and then get out ofthis court. Aye, you've found it
a little hard to prey on thecountryside since I've been here behind you,
Bigly, And you've found it alittle hard to continue your foreign intrigue since
I've been examining the dispatches. Thatmight possibly have more to do with your
desire to get me out than yourinterest in the Queen's reputation. Craig,
Craig, come with me. Iwant to ride into the city. You
(09:28):
will see that I've told you thetruth I wonder how long you and I
can stay in the same court.Big Lee, we out me killing you.
You'll be leaving after your trip toEdinburgh. Come on, Craig,
what do you think your queen's areMy queen? Has he carrying on with
(09:50):
both world behind her husband's back?Quite? Oh quick? Will tell us
strike him again? He's drunk?Hid the mean hit it minute? A
man says things when he's drunk,he would not dare say when he's shauber.
Come, let's quell it's fire.The Queen and buffwell Way, I
say they are a disgrace to thewhole country. What right does the queen
(10:13):
have to act like a barmaid?You're wrong, old man. There has
been nothing wrong between them. Thequeen is faithful to a husband. Don't
expect me to believe that, oranyone else in Scotland or in the whole
world for that matter. I'm afraidBiggley was right. Craig. What should
I do? What shall I do? Oh? Baff for hold me close.
(10:46):
I'm so frightened. Why can't yourode away and left me? And
I woke up crying, and Isaw you walking up and down outside my
window, and I had to comeout only cars. Everything's all right when
I'm in your arms. Do youknow that last night? If your people
burn me in effigy in the square, how did they dare? How did
(11:09):
they dare? They shall be punished? Oh Mary, Mary, I love
you. I loved you the firstmoment and before the first moment, and
even if I never see you again, I will love you forever. You
wouldn't leave me, Oh, youwouldn't leave me. I'd save your kingdom
for you by riding away. Yourpeople despise me, but they're devoted to
(11:33):
me. I believe they'll understand.Let's tell them that I'm a woman,
that I've fallen in love. Let'ssay to them, is there one among
you who would give up your lovedones for a crown? Then take my
crown. It becomes too heavy fora woman's heart. Mary, I'm going
You cann't I forbid it. You'renot a queen with me. You know
(11:54):
you cannot forbid and demand? Doyou want pleadings? And but I'll cry.
I have no pride with you.I cannot lose. Mary. Listen
to me. You are a queenand married your courts. Your people can
tell you and doubtless have that I'man adventurer, that I've spent most of
my days on the battlefield, andI've taken my love where I found it,
(12:16):
And now you bear a queen acrossyour saddle? Is that it?
Has it all been a lie?Have you been pretending to love me and
meaning all the time to ride awayone day and leave me dying? If
I did not love you, Iwould stay and reap the harvest, and
then I would leave you. Notnow, But in God's name, what
else is there for me to do? If I stay here, you will
(12:37):
lose your crown. Suppose you letme worry about my crown. My heart
is my own affair, not Scotland. Oh, my dear, you're very
young in the way, of course, it will always be your tragedy that
you had to learn to be aqueen, and mine that I had to
teach you. If you leave menow, abdicate, I'll give the prone
(13:01):
to anyone who'll take it. Idon't want a world that is no place
for you. Oh, my darling, help me work it out. I's
darling for a divorce. We cantry to work it out. We must
try it. We have a rightto happiness. We have no right to
anything. You and I don't leaveme now, Oh tell me you won't
(13:22):
leave me, tell me you'll neverleave me. Oh all right, all
right, Mary, all right,have it your own way. But we
have many enemies now and they willnever stop. And to live ruined us.
And may Heaven help us both.In just a moment, we'll bring
(14:00):
you the second act of Bothwell ofScotland. But first, friends, do
you happen to be sniffling and sneezingthese days like a good many other people?
Well, if you are, andyour trouble is due to a head
cold, here's a friendly tip thatmay save you a lot of misery.
Vic's vatronal is specialized nasal medication thatquickly relieves sniffly, sneezy, stuffy distress.
(14:26):
All you do is put a fewdrops of aatronal in each nostril and
at once. This fine medication goesto work fast right where trouble is.
It quickly spreads through the nose andupper throat to soothe irritation, and it
opens up the nasal passages to makebreathing easier. You like the way vatronal
brings relief, And here's a sensibleprecaution. Always keep a bottle on hand
(14:52):
ready to use right away when youcatch a head cold. Yes, try
Vatronal friends, just follow the simpledirections in the folder Vic's baitron all knows
drops And now the second act ofDangerously Yours starring Victor Jory in Bockwell of
(15:13):
Scotland. You could still save yourneck bottle. You can still ride away
with your men and save your life. We have every card stacked against you.
(15:33):
We have you in the middle ofthe most fabulous track that have been
devised, and you will be destroyedthe moment we spring it. I'm pretty
good at looden traps bigly, andyou're a slimy little rat sliding around behind
people's backs whispering lie. Sudden trapsand your dinner scare me one bit.
In fact, someday I shall probablyhear the pleasure of cutting off your head.
(15:54):
It's always dangerous to underestimate your enemy. Batoo. We have warned you.
Now we shall act, We shallspring the trap. What what will
(16:19):
wake up? Wake up? That'sCraig, Come on? What is it?
Says something wrong? And you canhear the explosion? Exploit what exploit
there's been an accident. Nay,not an accident. There's been a murderer.
The king darned me. It wassleeping tonight in the Royal who's at
Kirkfield. There was an explosire.Instead, they found his body a short
distance from the host who found thebody Wrigley and some of the court nobles
(16:40):
who were riding by him. Youknow what they say, but will know
They say that you killed him?What? What? That? That's stupid.
I hain't been out of my roomall evening. I've been sleeping.
I'm Besides, no one could possiblybelieve I would murder the king. They
are saying that you did. It'sall over Edinburgh. Soon they may be
saying it all the world. Isee, I see. So this was
(17:03):
their trap. I must see theQueen at once. Darnley dead, Donley
did. I can't believe it.It's true, my dear. The people
(17:25):
are saying that I killed him.I suppose I should weep. I haven't
any tears to shed. Isn't itstrange? I've hated him for so long
I couldn't possibly grieve for it.Oh, you must never say that again.
Mary? Will you marry me?No? Mary, then people would
(17:45):
say we were both responsible for hisdeath. That would be madness. We've
always been mad. We began thislove fearlessly, paying no attention to what
anyone thought I said. And that'sthe way we must live it. We
mustn't let them destroy it for us. This is the work of those devils
in your court. This is theresult of our fiendish plotting. Let us
(18:07):
face them down. At least letus attempt to face them down. Let
us not admit defeat. Will youmarry me Bothwell, you're a brave woman.
You've made me breathe. You're nota good queen, my dear,
you never have been as queen asScotland. You should say this romance has
caused anger and dissension and death withinmy kingdom, and dear as it is
(18:30):
to me, it must be strickenfrom the land and from my heart.
As Queen of Scotland, you shouldsay, this country must come, above
all things, with me and Iwhole rule it, must rule it proudly
and with dignity, at whatever costsnecessary to personal happiness. And then then
I would ride away from you,and you would be a great queen.
(18:52):
I could do that if it werenot for my woman's heart. I could
do that. My thoughts were notmolded by a woman's mind. I could
do that if you had not takenme in your arms. No waken me,
and if you leave me, itwill destroy me completely. Will you
(19:15):
marry me? Boswell? Do youwant to marry me? Knowne by the
fat act you may bring about yourdeath and lose your throne. Do you
want to marry me? And listento the entire world say that I murdered
your husband to get your kingdom,and that you were an accomplice. May
they would be scorned and hated anddespised and very probably killed. Ours has
(19:40):
been of great love, a lovesuch as comes to few people, and
it's been my one great joy.Let us have what hours we can,
and let us not count them orfear what may fall. Let us live
them as they come until they end. You're not a good queen, Mary,
(20:03):
but ah, you're a rather magnificentwoman. That's too bad. You
weren't the village bell and I yourvillage ball. Don't think of what could
have been or should have been,but only what is all right? All
right, Mary, We'll take thehours as they come, and we'll live
(20:25):
them until the end. I,James Heathern, Earl of Bothwell, do
(20:45):
solemnly swear to love and to cherishthis woman as long as we both shall
live. I Mary Stuart, dosolemnly swear to love and to choose this
man as long as we're both surely, I tell you, Unless we kill
(21:17):
Bothwell, it's death for all Scotland. He's bewitched the Queen. Call your
men together, well, much onthe palace. If I have a hundred
men waiting in the Glenn, willmuch on the palace and take bothwell.
If the Queen objects will put outwhat does you want? Object? We'll
make an armed camp all Scotland.If necessary. Are we going to let
(21:40):
the King's mun go on revenge?Come on, we'll bug the palace down
with both worn down, with thequeen. Kill Bothwell, kill the queen
(22:03):
celebrating our wedding. My dear,you see how joyous that makes them?
Oh, come, come away fromthe windows. People have always been kind
to me. I never thought they'dstore my gates. Mary. I had
range passage for you to England.Elizabeth will shelter you until your people quiet
dome and you I'm going to Denmark. Could I not go to Denmark with
(22:27):
you. No, my dear,I will encounter much danger until I'm out
of Scotland. But I believe youwill be safe. Once I had left
your side, Elizabeth will shelter you, and in a short time you can
return to your kingdom. Oh,my god, where we've lived our hours,
Mary, and no, we've reachedthe end of them. England.
(22:48):
That name is like a nicy handtouching my heart. That is stay here
I belong. If you stay here, you'll be killed. I killed.
I am the queener. Get youwere a queen, Mary, you forgot
you were a queen. And whenyou forgot, your people forgot you hate
no choice but to leave for atime. Mary, you would not be
safe for a moment with me,and Elizabeth will only protect you if you
(23:11):
go to her alone. Those wereher terms. If you wish me to
go, I'll go. I dowish it. I wish it could be
otherwise. Love for a queen comeshigh. Mary. I love you now
and will forever, my darling,My darling, thank you for all the
things that I will remember, Foryour laughter and for your tears, and
(23:33):
for the feel of your hand inmind, for your lips and for your
eyes for the mornings and for theafternoons and the evenings, for listening to
my hopes and my dreams and smilingupon them. And thank you most of
all for your love and for yourtrust. You've been all that a woman
(23:53):
could be and should be. Andfor me there will ne'er be lips or
arms again. Understood yours? Iknow, goodbye, my beloved, what
will oh? Goodbye, my dear? I will wait. When will I
(24:15):
see you go? I see you? Goodbye, my die. The carriage
is at the gate. The Queenis leaving now. You can see her
from here. I don't want herwatch her goal. She said you a
(24:36):
note here, Thank you, mydearest. Somehow I think that I will
die in England. I will diefar from the moors and the heather that
I always loved, and I willbe dying for my throne. I left
(25:04):
him a note, Lufa, Isaid, I will be a queen now.
If I've blundered, there were humanblunders, and I'm paying a great
price for them. Mon, itisn't the throne so much, Just what
throne stands for Scotland yesterday and todayand all the tomorrows of the future.
(25:29):
Scottish people who will love the brackenand thistle, who love the small towns
in the great cities, the moors, the highlands, lowlands and the sea.
Scottish people who will measure and evaluatetheir lures with the unemotional eyes of
the future. They will say,They will say Mary made mistakes. Yes,
(25:59):
Mary made mistakes, but Mary wasnot a coward. In her final
years, Mary learned the destiny ofa queen and met it unafraid. Mary
died more queen to Scotland than shelived. She is my queen, no
craig, She is my queen andno more my lady. But she will
(26:26):
always be the life of my heart. And some day we shall be together
again in God's time. Until thattime, goodbye, my darling, goodbye,
(26:48):
my darling. Ladies. All toooften women pay the penalty of fading
(27:18):
before their time. They're guilty ofthrowing away their natural youthfulness simply because they
fail to live sensibly and get enoughof certain indispensable vitamins and iron. Now,
don't let that happen to you.Don't you so heedlessly surrender your youthful
charm. Just live sensibly and takevitamin's plus once each day you see.
(27:45):
Vitamin's Plus gives you full protective amountsof all the certain indispensable vitamins and iron
that you must have to look andfeel as young as you should. Be
sure to make it your health charmroutine. Vitamins Plus just once each day.

forget it again. You're lovely inthe moonlight, Mary, Mary, Queen
(06:34):
of Scots. Your lips are softand ripe or kissing. Your eyes are
deep with dreams, And I whoonly wanted to kneel at your feet now,
want to take you into my arms. Good night, goodbye, your
majesty. Bofful, bofful, don'tleave me, don't leave me already.
(07:00):
I'm lonely for you. I loveyou. I love you. Oh I
can't breathe and never love so muchor ran so much. Imagine the Queen
of Scotland running through the streets ofEdinburgh, and you know what gun into
(07:24):
you? You want to chase me? If you remember, Oh so I
was, I must watch it.Oh look, darling, this is the
wishing well. Are you a coin? Have your two coins? Will throw
them in and make a whish here? What did you wish? Did you'd
always love me? What did youwish? Did you'd always want me to
(07:47):
love you? I'm afraid I'm notmy best to dancing. I feel like
a bear dancing with your fairy princess. You look wonderful and you dance divinely,
(08:09):
and aren't the luckiest girl in theworld. I don't like to be
the one to have to tell you, your majesty, but that lovely little
crown of yours is on crooked andyour court is looking definitely shocked. Heavens,
what a breach of royal and one. I like it crooked. It
makes you look like a little girldressed for a masquerie, and I'll wear
it that way always, the LordBaffle, Yes, Lord Bigley, this
(08:43):
court presents your friendship with the Queen. If you take my advice, you
leave this kingdom while you still havea head on your shoulders. Are you
threatening me, Bigley, you fool. You ruined the Queen's name throughout the
entire world. You're forgetting to theking in Scotland and everyone is talking about
you. Now that's a contempt.Will lie. No one could be talking
because we've done nothing wrong. Gointo the city and find out yourself,
(09:05):
Buffle, and then get out ofthis court. Aye, you've found it
a little hard to prey on thecountryside since I've been here behind you,
Bigly, And you've found it alittle hard to continue your foreign intrigue since
I've been examining the dispatches. Thatmight possibly have more to do with your
desire to get me out than yourinterest in the Queen's reputation. Craig,
Craig, come with me. Iwant to ride into the city. You
(09:28):
will see that I've told you thetruth I wonder how long you and I
can stay in the same court.Big Lee, we out me killing you.
You'll be leaving after your trip toEdinburgh. Come on, Craig,
what do you think your queen's areMy queen? Has he carrying on with
(09:50):
both world behind her husband's back?Quite? Oh quick? Will tell us
strike him again? He's drunk?Hid the mean hit it minute? A
man says things when he's drunk,he would not dare say when he's shauber.
Come, let's quell it's fire.The Queen and buffwell Way, I
say they are a disgrace to thewhole country. What right does the queen
(10:13):
have to act like a barmaid?You're wrong, old man. There has
been nothing wrong between them. Thequeen is faithful to a husband. Don't
expect me to believe that, oranyone else in Scotland or in the whole
world for that matter. I'm afraidBiggley was right. Craig. What should
I do? What shall I do? Oh? Baff for hold me close.
(10:46):
I'm so frightened. Why can't yourode away and left me? And
I woke up crying, and Isaw you walking up and down outside my
window, and I had to comeout only cars. Everything's all right when
I'm in your arms. Do youknow that last night? If your people
burn me in effigy in the square, how did they dare? How did
(11:09):
they dare? They shall be punished? Oh Mary, Mary, I love
you. I loved you the firstmoment and before the first moment, and
even if I never see you again, I will love you forever. You
wouldn't leave me, Oh, youwouldn't leave me. I'd save your kingdom
for you by riding away. Yourpeople despise me, but they're devoted to
(11:33):
me. I believe they'll understand.Let's tell them that I'm a woman,
that I've fallen in love. Let'ssay to them, is there one among
you who would give up your lovedones for a crown? Then take my
crown. It becomes too heavy fora woman's heart. Mary, I'm going
You cann't I forbid it. You'renot a queen with me. You know
(11:54):
you cannot forbid and demand? Doyou want pleadings? And but I'll cry.
I have no pride with you.I cannot lose. Mary. Listen
to me. You are a queenand married your courts. Your people can
tell you and doubtless have that I'man adventurer, that I've spent most of
my days on the battlefield, andI've taken my love where I found it,
(12:16):
And now you bear a queen acrossyour saddle? Is that it?
Has it all been a lie?Have you been pretending to love me and
meaning all the time to ride awayone day and leave me dying? If
I did not love you, Iwould stay and reap the harvest, and
then I would leave you. Notnow, But in God's name, what
else is there for me to do? If I stay here, you will
(12:37):
lose your crown. Suppose you letme worry about my crown. My heart
is my own affair, not Scotland. Oh, my dear, you're very
young in the way, of course, it will always be your tragedy that
you had to learn to be aqueen, and mine that I had to
teach you. If you leave menow, abdicate, I'll give the prone
(13:01):
to anyone who'll take it. Idon't want a world that is no place
for you. Oh, my darling, help me work it out. I's
darling for a divorce. We cantry to work it out. We must
try it. We have a rightto happiness. We have no right to
anything. You and I don't leaveme now, Oh tell me you won't
(13:22):
leave me, tell me you'll neverleave me. Oh all right, all
right, Mary, all right,have it your own way. But we
have many enemies now and they willnever stop. And to live ruined us.
And may Heaven help us both.In just a moment, we'll bring
(14:00):
you the second act of Bothwell ofScotland. But first, friends, do
you happen to be sniffling and sneezingthese days like a good many other people?
Well, if you are, andyour trouble is due to a head
cold, here's a friendly tip thatmay save you a lot of misery.
Vic's vatronal is specialized nasal medication thatquickly relieves sniffly, sneezy, stuffy distress.
(14:26):
All you do is put a fewdrops of aatronal in each nostril and
at once. This fine medication goesto work fast right where trouble is.
It quickly spreads through the nose andupper throat to soothe irritation, and it
opens up the nasal passages to makebreathing easier. You like the way vatronal
brings relief, And here's a sensibleprecaution. Always keep a bottle on hand
(14:52):
ready to use right away when youcatch a head cold. Yes, try
Vatronal friends, just follow the simpledirections in the folder Vic's baitron all knows
drops And now the second act ofDangerously Yours starring Victor Jory in Bockwell of
(15:13):
Scotland. You could still save yourneck bottle. You can still ride away
with your men and save your life. We have every card stacked against you.
(15:33):
We have you in the middle ofthe most fabulous track that have been
devised, and you will be destroyedthe moment we spring it. I'm pretty
good at looden traps bigly, andyou're a slimy little rat sliding around behind
people's backs whispering lie. Sudden trapsand your dinner scare me one bit.
In fact, someday I shall probablyhear the pleasure of cutting off your head.
(15:54):
It's always dangerous to underestimate your enemy. Batoo. We have warned you.
Now we shall act, We shallspring the trap. What what will
(16:19):
wake up? Wake up? That'sCraig, Come on? What is it?
Says something wrong? And you canhear the explosion? Exploit what exploit
there's been an accident. Nay,not an accident. There's been a murderer.
The king darned me. It wassleeping tonight in the Royal who's at
Kirkfield. There was an explosire.Instead, they found his body a short
distance from the host who found thebody Wrigley and some of the court nobles
(16:40):
who were riding by him. Youknow what they say, but will know
They say that you killed him?What? What? That? That's stupid.
I hain't been out of my roomall evening. I've been sleeping.
I'm Besides, no one could possiblybelieve I would murder the king. They
are saying that you did. It'sall over Edinburgh. Soon they may be
saying it all the world. Isee, I see. So this was
(17:03):
their trap. I must see theQueen at once. Darnley dead, Donley
did. I can't believe it.It's true, my dear. The people
(17:25):
are saying that I killed him.I suppose I should weep. I haven't
any tears to shed. Isn't itstrange? I've hated him for so long
I couldn't possibly grieve for it.Oh, you must never say that again.
Mary? Will you marry me?No? Mary, then people would
(17:45):
say we were both responsible for hisdeath. That would be madness. We've
always been mad. We began thislove fearlessly, paying no attention to what
anyone thought I said. And that'sthe way we must live it. We
mustn't let them destroy it for us. This is the work of those devils
in your court. This is theresult of our fiendish plotting. Let us
(18:07):
face them down. At least letus attempt to face them down. Let
us not admit defeat. Will youmarry me Bothwell, you're a brave woman.
You've made me breathe. You're nota good queen, my dear,
you never have been as queen asScotland. You should say this romance has
caused anger and dissension and death withinmy kingdom, and dear as it is
(18:30):
to me, it must be strickenfrom the land and from my heart.
As Queen of Scotland, you shouldsay, this country must come, above
all things, with me and Iwhole rule it, must rule it proudly
and with dignity, at whatever costsnecessary to personal happiness. And then then
I would ride away from you,and you would be a great queen.
(18:52):
I could do that if it werenot for my woman's heart. I could
do that. My thoughts were notmolded by a woman's mind. I could
do that if you had not takenme in your arms. No waken me,
and if you leave me, itwill destroy me completely. Will you
(19:15):
marry me? Boswell? Do youwant to marry me? Knowne by the
fat act you may bring about yourdeath and lose your throne. Do you
want to marry me? And listento the entire world say that I murdered
your husband to get your kingdom,and that you were an accomplice. May
they would be scorned and hated anddespised and very probably killed. Ours has
(19:40):
been of great love, a lovesuch as comes to few people, and
it's been my one great joy.Let us have what hours we can,
and let us not count them orfear what may fall. Let us live
them as they come until they end. You're not a good queen, Mary,
(20:03):
but ah, you're a rather magnificentwoman. That's too bad. You
weren't the village bell and I yourvillage ball. Don't think of what could
have been or should have been,but only what is all right? All
right, Mary, We'll take thehours as they come, and we'll live
(20:25):
them until the end. I,James Heathern, Earl of Bothwell, do
(20:45):
solemnly swear to love and to cherishthis woman as long as we both shall
live. I Mary Stuart, dosolemnly swear to love and to choose this
man as long as we're both surely, I tell you, Unless we kill
(21:17):
Bothwell, it's death for all Scotland. He's bewitched the Queen. Call your
men together, well, much onthe palace. If I have a hundred
men waiting in the Glenn, willmuch on the palace and take bothwell.
If the Queen objects will put outwhat does you want? Object? We'll
make an armed camp all Scotland.If necessary. Are we going to let
(21:40):
the King's mun go on revenge?Come on, we'll bug the palace down
with both worn down, with thequeen. Kill Bothwell, kill the queen
(22:03):
celebrating our wedding. My dear,you see how joyous that makes them?
Oh, come, come away fromthe windows. People have always been kind
to me. I never thought they'dstore my gates. Mary. I had
range passage for you to England.Elizabeth will shelter you until your people quiet
dome and you I'm going to Denmark. Could I not go to Denmark with
(22:27):
you. No, my dear,I will encounter much danger until I'm out
of Scotland. But I believe youwill be safe. Once I had left
your side, Elizabeth will shelter you, and in a short time you can
return to your kingdom. Oh,my god, where we've lived our hours,
Mary, and no, we've reachedthe end of them. England.
(22:48):
That name is like a nicy handtouching my heart. That is stay here
I belong. If you stay here, you'll be killed. I killed.
I am the queener. Get youwere a queen, Mary, you forgot
you were a queen. And whenyou forgot, your people forgot you hate
no choice but to leave for atime. Mary, you would not be
safe for a moment with me,and Elizabeth will only protect you if you
(23:11):
go to her alone. Those wereher terms. If you wish me to
go, I'll go. I dowish it. I wish it could be
otherwise. Love for a queen comeshigh. Mary. I love you now
and will forever, my darling,My darling, thank you for all the
things that I will remember, Foryour laughter and for your tears, and
(23:33):
for the feel of your hand inmind, for your lips and for your
eyes for the mornings and for theafternoons and the evenings, for listening to
my hopes and my dreams and smilingupon them. And thank you most of
all for your love and for yourtrust. You've been all that a woman
(23:53):
could be and should be. Andfor me there will ne'er be lips or
arms again. Understood yours? Iknow, goodbye, my beloved, what
will oh? Goodbye, my dear? I will wait. When will I
(24:15):
see you go? I see you? Goodbye, my die. The carriage
is at the gate. The Queenis leaving now. You can see her
from here. I don't want herwatch her goal. She said you a
(24:36):
note here, Thank you, mydearest. Somehow I think that I will
die in England. I will diefar from the moors and the heather that
I always loved, and I willbe dying for my throne. I left
(25:04):
him a note, Lufa, Isaid, I will be a queen now.
If I've blundered, there were humanblunders, and I'm paying a great
price for them. Mon, itisn't the throne so much, Just what
throne stands for Scotland yesterday and todayand all the tomorrows of the future.
(25:29):
Scottish people who will love the brackenand thistle, who love the small towns
in the great cities, the moors, the highlands, lowlands and the sea.
Scottish people who will measure and evaluatetheir lures with the unemotional eyes of
the future. They will say,They will say Mary made mistakes. Yes,
(25:59):
Mary made mistakes, but Mary wasnot a coward. In her final
years, Mary learned the destiny ofa queen and met it unafraid. Mary
died more queen to Scotland than shelived. She is my queen, no
craig, She is my queen andno more my lady. But she will
(26:26):
always be the life of my heart. And some day we shall be together
again in God's time. Until thattime, goodbye, my darling, goodbye,
(26:48):
my darling. Ladies. All toooften women pay the penalty of fading
(27:18):
before their time. They're guilty ofthrowing away their natural youthfulness simply because they
fail to live sensibly and get enoughof certain indispensable vitamins and iron. Now,
don't let that happen to you.Don't you so heedlessly surrender your youthful
charm. Just live sensibly and takevitamin's plus once each day you see.
