In my last blog I said I was going to read ahead... I am very glad I did! I do not want to get behind, plus this is a very interesting story!
Chapter 4 was not a very long chapter. This chapter surprised me in many ways! I thought from what all I have already read, that Anne would go back to her modern times once she woke up. I think about what has happened to Anne's modern day body while she is in the Tudor Era. I cannot believe that Henry already wants Anne to move into London with him. There is absolutely no way that I could leave my family to go with some guy I hardly knew. It surprises how comfortable Henry is with Anne's family (eating with her family without her down there with him). If I were to have an inter coarse with my soon- to- be wife's sister, I would not be comfortable at all! When Anne tells her father that she wants to send a token of her love, I became really confused. Why would you send him anything when you know he will soon take your life away? When Anne gets to be by herself in the room where she had passed out, she realizes that she misses her own life. She misses her friends, family, and Daniel! I believe the only reason Anne is "falling in love with the King" is because she misses Daniel.
In chapter 5, Anne went on a trip with her mother and her sister. She learned about her brother George; whom she found out she was close to. Knowing that she was close to George, she was nervous because she knew that George could tell she acted different. This could give up Anne's disguise. Once Anne got to Allington Castle, her and her sister met up with a few friends. It amazes me how these people cannot tell a difference in Anne. Especially Thomas!
Chapters 6 & 7 talked a lot about fashion. The King gave many outfits to Anne, which was something new to wear everyday. The King told Anne that she would have to serve Queen Katherine while she was there. There is no way I would serve my soon to be husbands wife! Also with the clothes that the King gave Anne, she also got a necklace that contained a diamond and a ruby. I feel that the King buys Anne's love. I wish she would have been with Thomas ! Thomas showed true love to her through a poem. Of course he couldn't buy her the things the King did, but his love feels so real! If any man treated me like that, I would have already married him!
Chapter 8 was an eventful chapter. It was the first time the Queen had met Anne. The Queen treated Anne kindly, although, behind Anne's back she talked bad about her. I could not imagine how awkward it would be to have to work for my mans woman. There is no way! Still today there are rumors. The rumor about Anne and her virginity spread so fast! I don't understand how rumors move so quickly without phones, cars, and computers! My luck goes out to Anne!
Chapter 8 was quite eventful I must agree. Like I said in my blog rumors spread like wildfires whether we have technology or not people are going to talk LOL. Glad you're into the book just as I am.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Thomas. I wish she had chosen him.
