Camilla was already awake before Meg and Elizabeth tiptoed into her bedchamber before sunrise, even before the maids entered. In fits of excited giggles, the two ladies-in-waiting bounced on the bed until Katerine was eventually shaken awake.

"Well, serving me makes her plenty miserable." Camilla noted cheerfully.

"Are you at all nervous about today, my lady?" Elizabeth asked.
