Elizabeth had not considered that and for a moment it was cheering - something to hope for anyway. "Clearly there is no reason why it could not send us directly back to where it took us," she said. "As time seems to be no obstacle. Though I have not yet heard of anyone leaving and I am not sure I trust this place to be so obliging."
Though as a vision of the future it was hardly inspiring, Elizabeth could not help but return the amusement. "That's quite an image," she said. "It's a wonder everyone isn't dying of chills." Thus far, America - which Elizabeth privately had to stop herself thinking of as the colonies, had been warm but surely they couldn't dress like that in London - from what Elizabeth recalled of England it only stopped raining long enough to be foggy then started again.
