once upon a time there was a girl who lived in a castle her 

Aunt and Uncle. Everyday every night she looked outside 

hoping that someone would      find her and take her away 

from the castle. The real                    world was only seen 

through her bedroom window.

The people of the small town down in the valley always 

looked busy and that she wished that maybe one day she 

would be allowed to leave the castle so she could discover 

what it be like to be among people. 

Her Aunt and Uncle were          sweet but they would not let 

her be among the normal                people, they said she was 

not to mingle with the                     common people because 

when she turns 18 she                          would be marred to a 

Noble man called                                   Henry Sutcliff of 

Wales.  

Mary was only five year old when her mother and father 

killed by some thieve while they were on their home from 

visiting her Aunty and Uncle. Mary,Mary where are you" 

screamed her Aunty. Mary snapped out of her daydream of 

leaving the castle. 

Aunt i am in my room" answering in a soft voice. Mary why 

do you sit there all the time looking out of the window, we are 

about some afternoon tea, come join us no thank you Aunt. 

Aunty must i marry this man i will be 18 in a week. Can i not 

just leave the and see what it like to be there among the 

towns                      people" Mary pleaded. 

Mary; your parents promised you to the noble man we do 

not say no. If it was not for him your parents would have lost 

everything and you would not have any dowery to to present 

to the Noble Man.        Mary                  slumped in her "Yes 

Aunty I know.              I will be             there soon to have 

afternoon tea               with                  you. 

Mary prepared herself for tea with her Aunt and Uncle. She 

walked toward the tea room but as soon as she reached the 

last step she saw that the door was open and there was a 

horse waiting for its owner.  

Mary looked around and saw one so with a split second she 

decided that this was an opportunity for her to leave the 

castle. She climbed up on the horse and she rode away. She 

couldn't believe that she was gone; she turned around to see if 

anyone was following her. No one was there          and the 

castle looked so small as she rode away.   

She reached the town. She climbed down and she tied the 

horse to a pole. The town was busy and people were 

everywhere. She walked around looking at everything, she 

seemed to be in daze it was all too much for her. "Mary my 

dear, are you alright" her Uncle was standing over her patting her 

cheek to wake up. "Oh my lord what is wrong with her"   Dear Sir I 

think she has fainted". The strong voice woke her.
