description: For four days, the great Gloriana has remained huddled and silent upon a mound of cushions at Richmond, refusing to take to her bed, fighting death to the end. Memories crowd her brain: scenes of glory, scenes of power, times too, of alarm and dismay. Illustrious figures pass before her inward eye -- the mighty Lord Burghley, beloved Leicester, cunning Walsingham, gallant Raleigh, handsome Kit Hatton. There, also, is her life's bane, Queen Marie of Scotland. There is wild, foolish Essex, Drake the explorer, Hawkins, Frobisher, Philip of Spain, conniving cousins, and comradely cousins. But Elizabeth's hand is steady upon her England until she breathes her last.
