31 Plays in 31 Days, #8 - "From the Queen's Archive"

This scene was banged out in like three minutes after being struck by an idea. I know I want to have Mrs. Frost holding Nathaniel captive as bait/a hostage/an information source as a big part of Mrs. Hawking part 5. It occurred to me that Mrs. Frost would have done her research into Nathaniel in order to effectively manipulate him. And she'd make sure to go in with a weapon.

This is extremely rough, and of course, having not even edited part 4 yet, I don't really know what part 5 is going to be like. Probably this ultimately won't fit the situation that I'll end up using. But I try to take down ideas when I have them, so I don't lose them for later. After all, I had about five or six scenes to at least be adapted already for Gilded Cages. Every little bit helps!
