Barbara Palmer: Laughed and began adorning herself with the fabulous gifts she had been given "Oh Charles these are magnificent" she smiled
Barbara Palmer: "I feel so beautiful again" she breathed as she wore the adornments
Charles II of England smiles. "that's not the only gift"
Barbara Palmer: "Oh" she said taking a deep breath "there is more?" she looked at him unsure how to react for the jewels were stunning clearly and they shimmered in the candle light
Charles II of England laughs "since you do enjoy entertaining so much, and I cannot always be there. Allow me to do one thing".
Barbara Palmer: "Yes of course Your Majesty anything you wish" she said smiling greatly
Charles II of England pulls out a small paper from his pocket and reads "By Order of the King, His Majesty Charles, a new dwelling will replace the home of the Earl and Countess of Castlemaine. To this cause, the King has given both money, and spared his craftsmen to embellish the home of the Castlemaines."
Barbara Palmer: "Roger is never here Your Majesty France seems to keep him away so much and he never wished to be in my presence but this is truly wonderful" she breathed
Charles II of England smiles "I don't want competition for your affections"
Barbara Palmer: Barbara thought of her new lovers Lord Bolton & Her Gerhard "No of course not there are of course no others" she lied as she remembered her promise of an affair with the Lord at the dance last evening. She smiled to herself how her friends would be more likely to want to be at her parties now
Charles II of England smiles wondering if she likes her new gifts... it should keep her off his back, and keep her happy for a while, while he enjoys the company of other mistresses. He looks at her and smiles "Does this all please you?"
Barbara Palmer: "Yes of course it does" she smiled softly. The position of the broach would draw attention to her decollete and this would please any man greatly "you know what pleases me" she said her eyes shining brightly
