Sir Thomas and his wife Katherine were not usually the type of people to either dress up or to indulge in such revels. But Harry (his son who had yet to find out) said it would mean alot to his daughter if both were to attend. And besides both were still unsure if the Duke of Wuffolk would return home in time for the party...Harry would need the company.
The couple walked in (unmasked because they had no time to change) with smiles on their faces.
"What a lovely night isn't it my dear?" Sir Thomas said, "if only I could spend it alone with you but then again I have eternity."
His wife laughed and kissed him on the nose. They then walked into the ball waiting for someone to spot them.
