Wolf Hall

Bring Up the Bodies

.....

‘Oh, for sure. As long as I get the right piece of paper from Rome.’

The party smile and hide their smiles. They give each other knowing looks. Gregory says, why is that funny? You can’t marry your wife’s sister, can you? He and his boy cousins go off into a corner to talk about private subjects – Bet’s boys Christopher and Will, Kat’s boys Richard and Walter – why did they call that child Walter? Did they need a reminder of their father, lurking around after his death, to remind them not to get too happy? The family never meet but he thanks God that Walter’s not with them any more. He tells himself he should have more kindness towards his father, but his kindness extends only to paying for Masses for his soul.
