Anne Boleyn and me

When the King came riding in on his big, black horse, a murmur went up, because his tunic was stitched with the words, DECLARE I DARE NOT.

All the ladies were giggling behind their hands, and I asked Mama what it meant.

Her face had turned quite pink and she said, "Never mind," so I asked Rosanna later.

She told me the words meant the King has a new love, but he dares not say her name.

But everyone knows her name, of course. It is Anne Boleyn.
