“There has been some suggestion that Edward and Somerset regularly shared a bed at the Tower. Whether true or not, this probably offers more to the phrase concerning the choosing of one’s bedfellows as opposed to anything homosexual.

He quickly slipped his goggles back over his eyes and ducked under the water.”
