"To say that Thomas Boleyn and his children after him set out to be courtiers is, therefore, to say a great deal; they were taking the road to power, prestige and profit. Whether it was the road of honour is a different question, and most historians have felt that Anne's father personified all that was bad about the court. P.W. Sergeant's verdict that 'it is clearly hopeless to attempt a defence of Sir Thomas' may seem totally justified in case of a man who, on his way to an earldom, slipped, or appears to have slipped, two daughters in succession into the king's bed. Friedmann's judgement, 'mean and grasping', is certainly correct."

It was an evening of grey fog that had crept in from the gulf, swathed the harbor, filled the glens and valleys, and clung heavily to the autumnal meadows. Through it the sea sobbed and shuddered.
