Chapter 16-
a few days had passed and Anne let the King know that she was to dine with
Master Heneage to try to get him to convince the Cardinal to allow the warship
of Anne. The King agreed and even sent a dish over and musicians to help
entertain (pg 236). Dinner conversation went well between the two. Anne prided
herself in the fact that in the same day she was able to manipulate 3 men: the
King, the Cardinal and Master Heneage (pg237-238).
Chapter 17-Three
weeks later Anne learned of the Cardinal granting the wardship. Wolsey had even started sending gift and
letters to Anne, latest being 2 firkins of fine wine. Anne was getting anxious
because she had not heard anything from the King, then she noticed everyone out
her window people leaving, she thought Henry was leaving without her (pg240).
Her brother George finally knock to and tells her that she was to be leaving
also for a picnic. Excited, Anne got ready and request all of her lady’s to
join her. During this time 21st century Anne was finding it harder
distinguish herself for 16th century Anne. At the picnic Anne had
started planting the seeds for the down fall of the Cardinal (pg247). This is
where she also first noticed Henry have a pain from an ulcer. Anne and her
ladies did a very provocative dance in front of everyone, their eyes were glued
to them as they danced (pg252). They ladies had been practicing dancing in the
apartment. After the dance, Henry and Anne were kissing and this would be the
first time the King told Anne that he loved her and never wants her to leave
his side (pg254).
Chapter 18-
Anne was upset with Henry because it was May Day celebrations and he was having
Katherine accompany him to the joust. Anne had brought the King to tears
forcing him to vow his love to her (pg256). While Anne was in her apartment
thinking about the joust, Nan picked up the copy of “The Obedience of a
Christian Man” by Master Tyndale. Anne insisted that Nan read it but told her
that this book could cost her, her life if it was found (pg258).
