Aragon: Your Highness, Your Highness, may we present Anna of Cleves? She is the most beautiful, and heterosexual, woman in the Christendom. (The sound of a tick).
Howard: Great choice!
Seymour: I can see the history books now. People will learn about you and your famous four wives for years to come. (She hugs Howard).
Aragon: (takes Seymour's hand) There is no need to thank us, the pleasure is ours. Ladies, I think we're done here!
(Everyone but Anna of Cleves leaves the stage. Howard pops her head round again.)
Howard: Anna?
