Chapters 9-12

Anne meets her father who is the duke of Suffolk and she also meets the duke of Norfork. They were all meeting to talk about Cardinal Woosley. Anne's father had lost two pretty important jobs a few years ago all thanks to the Cardinal Woosley therefore Anne's father does not like him. Woosley also interfered with her betrothal to Lord Henry Percy. Anne had previously romanticized with Henry Percy and it all came to an end because of the Cardinal. They talk about how Woosley was a butchers son and has risen far above his station. They want Cardinal Woosley gone for many reasons and accuse him of stealing from the King. Anne agrees with the dukes but does not want to do anything right away. In august they went to the Richmond Palace. The weather was really gloomy and dark which made Anne want to go to bed early and she declined the offer to dine with her King. The next day they went on the queens barge and Anne saw a severed head on a stick and almost threw up. Anne saw Cardinal Woosley the next morning and they exchanged some harsh words. Cardinal called her a whore and talked bad about her sister Mary. Anne then told him "You should perhaps be a little more circumspect-you know not to whom you speak." Which I think by that she means he needs to watch himself because she will be queen soon and his punishment will come. Woosley got angry and then later tried to talk with the king alone and then the King said that he could say whatever he had to say in front of Anne, implying her importance as more than just a whore. Later on they all go to another Palace, the Palace of Placentia. While they were there King Henry and Katherine knelt together during mass which made Anne jealous and feel like she always be the other woman. Anne got her friend Nan and went to the garden with her. Anne was frustrated and later encountered her brother. She suggested they go ride horses like they always used to. The king gave Anne a gift that night which was that she didn't have to serve the queen any more but obtained three servants herself. Then her and her mother went back to Hever Castle for the winter.
