Anne Boleyn was happy to be at Court. She thought she would be banned from Court because of Mary. Mary, her eldest sister, had earned the name the great whore. Mary had known two kings carnally. Although, her father saw the benefits of Mary being the king's mistress. Elizabeth Bolyen did not. She hated the shame Mary had brought on herself.
Elizabeth Bolyen prided herself on her merits. She had served as Queen Elizabeth of York's chef lady in waiting. After Elizabeth's death, she served as King Henry's governess.

"When?" Elizabeth asked. "The court masquerade to entertain the emperor," Anne said. Elizabeth smiled, "Don't tell your father that I know," Elizabeth said.
