I don’t believe the Boleyns put Mary or Anne in front of Henry. Mary caught his attention then Anne did. I do believe that they saw the possible advantages or “rewards” and urged them forward. I think Anne was being Anne when she refused Henry’s advances in the beginning but then the boleyn/howards saw it was working and advised her to continue with the refusal.
