Re: Mary, Queen Of Scots

Hi, Polon-san.

Thank you for giving me your response.
I have been worrying if I made a mistake.

〉I voted for "Mary, Queen Of Scots", because I got
〉fascinated with the character of the queen and
〉wanted to know the truth about her life.

〉〉I have a question.
〉〉Some articles on the board say "Mary, Queen Of Scots" is
〉〉well-known as Bloody Mary.
〉〉But I found two Mary on Internet, one is Mary I,
〉〉the other is Mary Stuart.
〉〉It seems that Mary I is notorious as Bloody Mary and
〉〉"Mary, Queen Of Scots" is story of Mary Stuart.

〉〉The point is, "Mary, Queen Of Scots" is not story of
〉〉Bloody Mary.

〉I think you are right.

Wow, I am relieved to hear that.
I really appreciate you.

〉I do not know about British history very well, either.
〉After reading the book by Oxford, I read a Japanese book
〉about Mary, Queen Of Scots and Elizabeth Ｉ.

The book also gave me an interest about British history.

〉The book says that Mary Tudor, Queen Mary I of England
〉got the nickname of Bloody Mary.
〉During her reign, Mary Ｉ who was a Catholic burned more
〉than 300 Protestants.
〉That is why Mary Ｉ is called "Bloody Mary".

〉Genkotsu-san, you looked into the queens on the Internet
〉in English, didn't you?
〉I admire your challenging spirit.

Thank you very much for your compliment, though.
I am pleased to hear that.

First, I searched for "Blood mary" on Internet.
There are many recipe about it in Japananese Web site.
The only one site showed me "Blood mary" as a person and
Mary, queen of Scot.
So, to make sure, I looked for these on Web site in English.

Anyway, a litte ago, I reviwed my post about this.
I made a mistake in my spelling.

> It feel like a just stagedy, I was not able to understand
> why this book was chosen, though.

First line, first sentense, I intended to write "tragedy"
in stead of "stagedy", which has not meaning.
I am embarassing.

Tonight, I can expect to sleep well.

Bye.

Hi, Genkotsu-san. This is Polon.

I thought that I posted a message for you.
But my response has gone.
It seems like I forgot to press the submit button.
I have been quite shocked to know that.

Anyway, there are a lot of Marys in the British royal family.
That is very confusing.

I did not know that cocktail “Bloody Mary” comes from
the nickname of the queen.
I do not want to drink that, though.

Oh, to tell the truth, I looked up the word in the “forbidden”
dictionary.
I got it.

Mary, Queen of Scots suffered misfortunes all through her life.
I think she dealt with them with pride and dignity.
I also would like to read some books about her in English
in the future.

Happy Reading!!!

Wow, That was too bad.
Things like this happens many times for me too.
I usually use a tab browser, it names Lunascape,
and I use mouse jesture which is very useful.
But I ofter made mistakes to move mouse
and lose my messages before posting.

〉Anyway, there are a lot of Marys in the British royal family.

Originally I have no knowledge about hisory especially
foreigh countories.
This kind of books always makes me embarrassing.
Of course, I am very interested, though.

I want to drink this and smile like Count Dracula.

I searched the book review database by using "Rekiai(kanji)"
as a keyword and picked up from the searching result, then.
The list below is books about English or Scot. history.
Someday in future I will read too.

See you, and Happy Reading!!

Hi, Genkototsu-san, Polon-san! Kian is speaking!
I am so sorry, but I had not have a time to read this site for a long time.

Thank you for telling me that I had made a big mistake.
I do not know about world history well and Iwant to read many books about it from now on.

Famous Mary was not only one!
Oh, it was new for me!

Genkotsu-san could not sleep well for a couple of days, could you?
I am soooooo sorry!
And thank you, Polon-san. You made Genkotsu-san felt relief.

I have already read from 1 to 8 of these books, but I could not notice that there were tow famous Mary in British (Scottish) history.
I feel a complete fool!

Happy reading and sleeping!

Hi, Kian-san.
Long time no see. I'm happy to read your post again.

〉Thank you for telling me that I had made a big mistake.
〉I do not know about world history well and Iwant to read many books about it from now on.
〉Famous Mary was not only one!
〉Oh, it was new for me!

To tell the truth, after reading the "Mary, Queen Of Scot"
I was not able to be impressed than I had expected.
(It happens many time for me, though.)

I thought everyone know the historical background
and looked into "Mary".

That's it!

〉Genkotsu-san could not sleep well for a couple of days, could you?
〉I am soooooo sorry!

Don't mention it, Of course, I sleep very well and in good shape.

〉I have already read from 1 to 8 of these books

That's great!!
I look forward to your post "Letter to authors" again.

See you, and Happy Reading!

Hi, Genkotsu-san! This is Kian.

〉I look forward to your post "Letter to authors" again.

I'm sorry, but I cann't do it.
I thought 'Oh, she is 'Bloody Mary'. I don't think she was cruel so much.' when I read the book.
I don't remember anything except for that.
I like your letters to author!

Happy reading!

Hi, Kian-san. This is Polon.

I'm very happy to talk to you on this board.
I've found it interesting to write in English.
It's a lot of fun, isn't it?

〉Famous Mary was not only one!
〉Oh, it was new for me!

I had not known who is called "Bloody Mary," either.
I knew it by reading a Japanese book written about Mary,
Queen of Scots and Elizabeth Ｉ.

Yes, indeed!

As far as I am concerned, that lets me down, especially
when it is in English.

Thank you for your kindness to list the titles!
I read "Henry VIII and his Six Wives," which also inspired my
interest in English history.

I would like to read "Scotland," "Kings and Queens of Britain."
I've just added them to my shopping cart.
I am also interested in "An Ancient Land."
I've hit on Amazon "Kings and Queens of England and Scotland,"
which seems to be written about history of English and Scottish
royal family.

Happy Reading!!
