Vinnie and Edward ran down the streets of London.
When they got to the Globe Theater, it was full of people.
Edward paid and they went inside.
"Wow!" said Vinnie, looking around.
The stage rose above the ground about one meter.
The seats formed a half circle around the stage.
They were on three levels, three stories high.
The theater had no roof.
Many people were standing on the ground in front of the stage.
"What's the show?" asked Vinnie.
"Romeo and Juliet," said Edward.
Mandy was sitting with Lady Katherine on the second level.
The richer people sat there because the seats were more expensive.
The poorer people didn't have seats.
They just stood in front of the stage.
Mandy looked down and saw a familiar face.
"Vinnie!" she shouted.
Vinnie heard her.
He looked up.
"Mandy!" he yelled, and waved.
"Vinnie, I'll be right down!" cried Mandy.
"Stop!" snapped Lady Katherine.
"My servants do not shout like street people!"
Mandy apologized. "That's my brother," she said.
"I have to go to him."
"You may not leave without my permission," said Lady Katherine.
"But I have to," said Mandy.
She got up and walked to the stairs.
Vinnie ran to the steps, but a guard stopped him.
"You can't go up there," the guard grunted.
"That level is for lords and ladies!"
"But my sister . . ." Vinnie said, pointing.
"Go back!" shouted the guard.
"You're probably a thief!"
"Come, Vinnie," said Edward, "I know of a secret stairway backstage."
He took Vinnie behind the stage.
Actors were getting into their costumes.
Vinnie noticed something very strange.
"Is Juliet a man?" he asked Edward.
Edward burst out laughing.
"All the actors are men!
Women are not allowed on stage!"
Suddenly, the guard was right behind them.
"You are a thief!"
he yelled, shaking his fist angrily at Vinnie.
"Trying to steal from the actors!"
He grabbed Vinnie and threw him on the floor.
Just then, Mandy ran backstage.
She looked around and saw Vinnie lying on the floor.
Vinnie jumped up and grabbed Mandy's hand. "Run, Mandy!"
"I'll keep the guard busy!" Edward shouted behind them.
Vinnie and Mandy ran through the crowd, out of the theater, and into the street.
Suddenly, Mandy screamed.
Two large carriages almost ran over them.
The drivers shouted angrily.
A tall man got down from one carriage.
"Are you children crazy?" he said.
"Watch where you're going!"
"They were running from someone,"
said a woman's voice from inside the carriage.
The man held out his hand to the woman.
She took his hand and stepped out of the carriage.
She was dressed in a deep-purple gown.
"Bow before your queen," the man said.
Everyone on the street stopped and bowed to the woman.
"Is that . . . ," Vinnie gulped, " . . .Queen Elizabeth?"
"Search them," she ordered.
Two guards began searching Vinnie and Mandy.
One guard found the glowing photo.
"Your Majesty!" he gasped.
With shaking hands, he handed the picture to the queen.
She looked at it.
Then she looked at the children.
"Magic is not allowed in my kingdom," she said calmly.
"Take them to the tower."
