The story

Queen Anne is in poor health; she shows little interest in governing, preferring activities such as playing with her 17 rabbits, surrogates for the children she miscarried or who died in infancy.

Her standing has been tainted by her father, who gambled her away in a game of whist.

One night, Abigail witnesses Sarah and the Queen having sex.
