Anne is getting fed up/Chapters 9-12
Cardinal Wosley has just entered the building and right off the bat Anne let's him know she does not like him. Particuraly because he was the main reason from a previous relationship. Throughout the chapters I have read it seems everybody knows the kings intentions towards Anne becoming his queen, yet everybody addresses her as Mistress Anne. However, I remember in the early chapters King Henry VII mentioned to keep this matter quiet. Well to me it seems like she was the only one keeping the matter quiet. That is until Anne sees King Henry VIII and Queen Katherine close together in the first mass. She quickly becomes jealous and has had enough. When her brother George comes to visit her in her bedrooms and mentions the king would like to see her, she starts daydreaming during a time when her and George were about 9 or 10 at the time and they would gallop on their horses out towards the forest just to get away from everything. She does this now and as George reluctantly follows her the two set out to relive early childhood memories. Anne is still feeling jealousy and grabs her friend Nan and take off in the castle to get away from seeing the king and Katherine together. This is where things get interesting and Anne finally vents her frustration about being the other woman to Nan. Nan seemed surprised as there was only rumors about the kings intentions. Anne lets her know also that she over heard the queen and one of her lady's talking in Spanish and she understood vaguely what they were talking about. Katherine basically called Anne a "whore". This seems to be what many people are thinking of Anne these days. I'm not sure if Anne has bedded King Henry VIII by this time, but she might as well since this is what the court is thinking. Even her father Thomas Boelyn asks Anne has she bedded the king. I've found out also that in Greenwich there are a few things of significance that happened there.
