Henry VIII's first wife pleading with him not to divorce her. Henry was rich enough to create his own church and impose it on his People. He did all this, just to replace Catherine of Aragon with Anne Boleyn.

("The Happy Hooker" and dozen more books):

We've been friends  for almost half a century and enjoyed several of each others' theatrical productions, so reading your memoir of Mrs. Gulliver is a wonderful surprise: so witty, subversive, and yet, arousing... it tickled my mind as well as inspired my G-spot. Highly recommended!
