Welcome back! It was so sweet of you to bring Valentines Day gifts!
My goodness, this Pagliano must be really, really special to seek such special treatment, and practically an incognito appearance, or else really, really nervous. I thought he was a tech kid, moonlighting from the State Department, like one of Best Buy’s Geek Squad.
The press paid him little mind back then. He took on a felony conviction the moment he entered her house and now he knows it for sure.
It’s quite possible that was the day the Durham’s grand jury was seated.

That is correct. Handcuffed last week, running for Governor of Colorado this week. Remarkable woman.
Mary was blindfolded, laid her head on the block and stretched her arms wide to signal the executioners axe.
The first blow hit the back of her head.
Accounts vary on if Mary cried out from the pain or remained silent. However as this was a chop wound (a mix of sharp force and blunt force trauma) its most likely that Mary felt excruciating pain for a few seconds, before losing consciousness.
The axes second blow hit her neck, severing it almost entirely. With one third chop needed to separate Mary’s head from her body.
The executioner then picked Mary’s head up by the hair, held it forth to the crowd and proclaimed
‘God save the Queen’
At which point, he lost grip on the head as Mary’s wig fell off, revealing her greying hair (something people were shocked about, despite the fact she was 44 and they’d just witnessed her bloody execution)
And with that macabre farce, the story of Mary Queen of Scots came to an end.
Moral of the story: Sometimes it takes a couple of whacks to knock off the queen.
Not sure what it means but it is noteworthy:
