It is two weeks before the queen's Jubilee. The queen's head nurse, (the nurse that takes care of her all the time,) Nure Julie, is walking back to the palace from taking a stroll during her hour off. Nurse Julie is about 24, and has been the queen's main nurse for two years. Everyone thought that she was too young for the position, but no one argued with the queen's judgment.
Julie enters the palace through a side entrance, and walks into the kitchen.
"The queen told me to tell you," one of the main chefs told Julie, "That you were to bring in this tea as soon as you got back. She's in the library."
"Thanks," Julie says taking the tray with a pot of tea, three cups and saucers, and crumpets.
She walks down a corridor and opens the door to the royal library. She puts the tray down on the table not even noticing that there was a stranger in the room. She looks up and notices him for the first time. He is a looking at her with a mischeivious smile on his face. He looks to be about a couple of years older than herself, and wore a fashionable suit with a red tie.
Julie stands up straight, smiles politely at the young man, turns around and faces the queen, and says, "Is that all that you need of me, you majesty?"
"No, no, no." the queen says smiling genlty at Julie. "Please, have a seat. No--wait, I need to introduce you to this charming young man. This is Basil of the Bakerstreet."
"You mean the famous detective?" Julie says looking at the young mouse again.
"Yes that's the one." the queen says noticing how Mr. Basil was admiring her main nurse. Ever since Julie had become her main nurse, the queen had been trying to find someone suitable for her. She thought that the position Julie held was for old women who had no future left.
"Pleased to meet you Ms..."
"Summers. Julie Summers." Julie held her hand out to shake Mr. Basil's paw.
FOr two hours the two young mice conversed with little talk from the queen. She watched in eagerness as the two talked.
When Mr. Basil rose saying that he had some work to do, and left, the queen talked to Julie privatley saying, "I do believe that you fancied that young mouse, and he you."
'Your Majesty," Julie said exasperated, "I enjoyed talking to someone with an intellectual mind. I DO NOT plan to marry. I have told you that numerous times. NOw if you do not mind, I am going to go for another stroll. Before I go, is there anything you need?"
"No, my dear." the queen said.
Julie walked out of the palace shaking her head. She is so caring. I do enjoy being her nurse, but it just drives me nuts how she tries to matchmake for me.
Julie walked down a silent street, and turned right on another silent road with no one about. Before Julie could sream, two mice crept up behind her and knocked her out.
