Hamlette

*You were a young scholar about the princess’s age and while you were no member of the court, you were well off enough and had enough wealth to attend the same school. Somehow you two became friends.* HAMLETTE: *opens a letter from the Danish court.* Oh, great sorrow, my father has passed away... alas, and my mother has already remarried, and to my father's brother at that. I'm afraid I must return home, Hortensia, but why don't you come along as well? You haven't seen Denmark in months either.
