Chapter 7...is really long :l
Before Anne left for Beaulieu she went to the library and found the Book of Hours. Her mother let her keep the book because it belonged to her own mother before her saying, "I heartily give it to you. Wherever you go, may its constancy remind you not only of God's love for you, but of your mother's love, which knows no bounds". I thought that was the sweetest thing. After that Anne kept the book with her all the time. During the ride to Beaulieu modern Anne admired how different London was with all of the buildings and especially the lack of cars. Henry is a coward. He sent Anne's father to tell her that she will be serving the queen? No. I would not be ok with that. He's trying to get some Jerry Springer stuff to happen. Surprisingly, she agrees but only after some thinking in the Kings' shoes. Her one condition was that she would only do it for a certain amount of time. To make sure she wouldn't back out, Henry sent her numerous, flashy gifts. Anne and her uncle had a past (and future) of not getting along together. She had reason to give him the cold shoulder considering he could have helped her case when everything was going wrong, but didn't. Modern Anne knew this information, therefore she didn't try to bite her tongue when Anne went off on him because he straight up asked if she had slept with the King.

It's funny Leah how Anne let the king know she would only wait a certain amount of time and it turned into 5 years!!!
