When Boadicea saw that all hope was gone, she called her daughters to her. "My children," she said sadly, as she took them by th
e hand and drew them towards her, "my children, it has not pleased the gods of battle to deliver us from the power of the Romans. But there is yet one way of escape." Tears were in her blue eyes as she kissed her daughters. She was no longer a queen of fury but a loving mother. –“The Story of a Warrior Queen,”
Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall
