Cambridge

Gregory Cromwell names Cambridge as the site of his humiliation, where students mock his black greyhounds—prized hounds turned symbols of shame after Wolsey's fall taints the family name. Scholarly streets and college quads ring with jeers, transforming academic refuge into a stage for social exclusion. Firelight from distant hearths casts shadows on this tense ground of youthful cruelty and inherited disgrace, where Gregory bears the cost of his father's ambitions.
