The story revolves around the places in time, her childhood and present. The story is told with 2 different stories that in the end become clearer that the 2 stories have a tremendous resemblance. The first story is about the narrator’s childhood, where the children of the neighbourhood get together in the narrator’s backyard and acts out a play about King Henry VIII and the execution of the Queen, Lady Anne. The narrator’s younger brother, Terry acts Lady Anne very well and the way he acts out the role is being described as too good to fight over.
