Elizabeth - a play

Act I - Part IX

(Lady P and burglar meeting up)

Lady P: Show me the necklace

(burglar brings necklace out)

Lady P: Great job! Now I'd like you to sneak it under Elizabeth's pillow

Burglar: You don't want it back??

Lady P: No you numbskull, why would I ask you to take it then?? Besides, I need to be rid of Elizabeth. Though she doesn't know it yet, she's the king's daughter and my only real threat to the throne!

Burglar: Yes, my lady

(Burglar plants necklace while Lady P stalks off)
