Chapter 22

Anne is at her home in Hever and she is having a nightmare and wakes up and hears sobbing from the other room and it is her mother crying and her father looking over her because her brother has fallen with the sweat sickness. Anne receives a letter from the king saying how sorry he is for leaving her. Anne falls ill and loses consciousness and goes into a black sleep and does not remember anything except for her father carrying her to her bed and her being afraid that he will get the sickness and she also knows from present day history that her and her father will become ill but will also recover. 

Chapter 21

Anne is feeling down and ill and everyone is waiting for her to feel better and she finally because well and she then becomes frantic because the sweat disease is soon upon them. And her friend, lady at court Bess is fallen ill and she is about to die and she ultimately dies from the disease and Anne is frustrated because her brother and the king has left her alone with her mother. The king is with Katherine and she is very upset. 

Chapter 20

Okay in this chapter Anne and her Father are walking in the Privy Garden and speaking of the book and how drastically this will change their lives and how it will sway the King in their favor. Anne also had to be relocated to the towers because of an outbreak of measles in the main castle the towers is were the jousting armor and tool were held. Anne and the king dine in her apartment awaiting the arrival of Dr. Foxe with the news from the Pope. Dr. Foxe arrives with good news of the Popes graces to allow the annulment. Present day Anne believes that history has changed. I think it will stay the same. 

Chapter 19

Okay in this chapter Anne and her friends are playing games and shooting bow and arrow because the weather outside has been terrible just a constant rain. Nan comes running in to interrupt the games to tell Anne that she has lost the book that she has given her and that the cardinal will have it in his possession. Anne handles this very well obviously because she knew it was going to happen. She then marches toward the King in his Privy Chamber to find him at his desk and she then tells the king that she wants the book back and that the king should help her get it back. Then sexual intimacy breaks out and things get all wild in the bedroom. Needless to say Henry was a happy man at the end of this chapter.

Chapter 18

Okay so Anne is extremely upset and bursting with anger and rage at the fact that the King would have Katherine at his side at the Joust instead of Anne. she expressed much anger and frustration toward the King which in turn he apparently cried and said that he loves Anne and that he wishes not to be in Katherine's company again. The BOOK! Anne gives the book to Nan, Anne says that the book will be taken away by one of the Cardinals men? Does this really happen? What does the Cardinal do when this book is in his possession? If Anne knew the Cardinal would get the book from Nan then why would she give the book to Nan?

Chapter 17

Now Anne is coming to realize that she is no longer present day Anne but she is truly Anne of the Tudor Era. She no longer even recognizes her present day self in the mirror and her mind is so fixed with the followings, emotions, and actions of Anne Boleyn that she fears she will never return to present day Anne. I also feel that she does not care if she returns at all she is so involved with this era in time that I believe that she could care less if she went back to the present. Anne is still falling into the trap of eminent death. I wish she had some presence of her present day self to help her understand that she is going to die if she does not change her ways. Nevertheless, Anne feels the emotions and weakness of herself when it comes to Henry and she utters the 3 words that lead to a road of no return. I LOVE YOU!

Chapter 16

Anne is taking charge of her role in the Kings Courtship I am very impressed and some what disturbed that she would take such actions as to woo or persuade the men around her. I feel that the power might be going to Anne's head. I feel since her last accidental meeting with Katherine that she has this new since of power, that she feels like she is already the Queen. I believe this might back fire on her at some point. Obviously it does back fire but I am impressed that she is being so bold with her conversations about politics and how she knows how the Cardinal is because of present day Anne's findings and research. If she adores Anne so much then why would she lead her down the same path to an eminent death?
