3.0 Scottish History
' The Tragic Queen '
R. L. MACKIE
In this interlude Scottish school-children will have three glimpses of Mary Queen of Scots: first, of Mary as a happy girl in the beautiful Castle of Chenanceaux in France ; second as a widow of nineteen in grim, grey Holyrood. listening unwillingly to John Knox as he scolds her and tells her that she will bring ruin upon herself and her country ; and for the third, it will be assumed that twenty-eight years have passed and that the tragic queen is sitting in her room in Fotheringay Castle on a night just before her execution, writing a farewell letter to the King of France.
