Love Conquers All

        Prime Minister Baldwin paced the floor, waiting to be admitted. He had no choice but to offer the king an ultimatum. At last, Edward invited him into his office, and the prime minister began with a plea. “Don’t do it, Edward.”

        “I’m sorry it upsets you, but I’m marrying her.”

        Baldwin sighed. “She’s a divorced woman—an  American.”

        “I love her. I can’t live without her.”

        “You’ll have to abdicate the throne.”

        “Then I must.”

         “Love’s blind. It fades.” Baldwin waved his arms in desperation. “What did Shakespeare say?”

        Edward smiled. “The course of true love never did run smooth.”
