The Prince and the Pauper

Nighttime Ponderings

Frederick sat in bed wondering how many more days he would have to spend as Amelia. He wasn't sure that he really wanted her life any more. He was tired of the monotony, and the irritating suitors. If he had to deal with Samuel again he knew he would not handle it very well. What if he ruined Amelia's life. What if someone found out he wasn't really Amelia? What would happen then? She was so smart she would know how to keep away from suspicion. He wanted to leave here, and go back to his home. The palace. He knew, though, that if he wanted his life to be a bit better when he got back then he would have to wait for Amelia to come and get him: Beautiful Amelia, wonderful Amelia, funny Amelia, smart Amelia. And with thoughts of Amelia he drifted off to sleep.
