Meanwhile, handsome Thomas Cole, a brilliant singer, successful chorister, and dangerously secret Catholic, keeps turning up to exchange burning glances and increasingly passionate kisses with Susanna. This Dark Lady eventually sees that Susanna is delivered to her father's doorstep in London, but not before revealing that she and Will Shakespeare were once lovers. Anyone who took "Shakespeare 101" will immediately recognize Susanna's rescuer, Emilia, a pistol-packing dark lady in a carriage, as the object of a famous sonnet sequence. However, she takes the wrong road and narrowly escapes rape.
Motivated by the sudden death of her brother Hamnet, Susanna runs away, planning to join her father in the city. A rising playwright, he hardly ever comes home from London. Stuck in Stratford with her prim mother and younger twin siblings, she misses her father. The 14-year-old singer can never join a choir in England because she's a girl. Grade 5-9-Susanna Shakespeare has problems.
