IT DOES PRESEN A PROBLEM.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

MRS. TOQUET.

OH, YOU'RE THE CRAZY LA--

I MEAN...YOU'RE THE ONE

WHO LIVES ALL BY YOURSELF?

THEY SAY YOU NEVER COME

INTO THE VILLAGE DURING DAYTIME.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHY?

BECAUSE I ALWAYS

GO THERE AT NIGHT.

YOU--YOUR SHOES

ARE GETTING WET.

YES. IT'S THE WATER.

OH.

DO YOU LIVE:

IN THE VILLAGE?

YES.

WITH BIRDENA, SERAFINA,

AND MY STEPMOTHER.

OH. HOW ARE THEY?

OH, YOU KNOW THEM?

NO. IF I KNEW THEM,

I WOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK.

OH.

WELL, THEY'RE

VERY WELL, THANK YOU.

THEY'RE VERY BUSY NOW.

THEY'RE GETTING READY

TO GO TO THE BALL--

DAY AFTER TOMORROW

AT THE PALACE.

THEY ARE GOING:

TO MEET THE PRINCE.

YOU SEE, BIRDENA

AND SERAFINA:

ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRLS

IN THE WHOLE VILLAGE.

THEY CAN SEW VERY WELL,

AND THEY HAVE FINE MANNERS

AND BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES.

THEY ARE JUST EVERYTHING

THAT GIRLS SHOULD BE.

AND YOU? WHERE ARE

YOUR PRETTY CLOTHES?

OH, I DON'T CARE

WHAT I LOOK LIKE.

THAT'S NO REASON

FOR FRIGHTENING PEOPLE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

NOBODY LIKES ME ANYWAY.

I LIKE YOU.

YOU DON'T.

I DON'T NEED ANYBODY

TO LIKE ME.

I DON'T CARE.

I DON'T CARE ONE BIT,

BECAUSE, ONE DAY, I'M GOING

TO LIVE IN THE PALACE.

OH?

IN THE DUCAL PALACE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

A VERY PLEASANT PLAN.

WHO ARRANGED IT?

WELL...

ONE DAY, THERE'S AN OLD LADY

WHO CAME TO SEE MY MOTHER.

SHE WAS A TELLER

OF FORTUNES, THEY SAY.

AND SHE TOLD MY MOTHER

THAT SOME DAY:

HER CHILD WOULD LIVE

IN THE PALACE.

AND I WAS BORN:

THREE HOURS LATER.

MY MOTHER USED TO TELL ME

THIS STORY VERY OFTEN

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL.

SHE DIED WHEN I WAS

FIVE YEARS OLD.

WHAT DO YOU EXPEC TO DO IN THE PALACE?

OH. WELL, LOTS OF THINGS.

YOU KNOW.

SOUNDS VERY PRACTICAL.

AND I'LL PUNISH

EVERYBODY I HATE.

NO, YOU WON'T.

OH, YES, I WILL.

I WILL.

HERE.

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS?

OH, HERE AND THERE.

OH, YES, I HEARD

ABOUT THAT.

HERE, YOU'D BETTER

TAKE IT BACK.

OH, THANK YOU,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEVERTHELESS.

NEVERTHELESS WHAT?

NEVERTHELESS:

IS A NICE WORD.

ISN'T IT PLEASANT TO SIT AND

EXCHANGE WORDS WITH A FRIEND?

I NEVER DID IT BEFORE, I MEAN,

JUST SAT WITH A FRIEND AND TALKED.

WELL, WHAT'S THE MATTER

WITH YOUR FRIENDS?

DON'T THEY HAVE

A SITTING PLACE?

WELL, IT'S BECAUSE I...

I DON'T THINK

I HAVE ANY FRIENDS.

I MEAN, I DON' THINK I DO.

BECAUSE WHEN:

THEY'RE YOUR FRIENDS,

DOES THAT MEAN THA YOU CAN TELL THEM

EVERYTHING YOU LIKE

AND WHAT YOU DO:

AND WHAT YOU FEEL

AND ALL THAT?

AND THAT THEY'LL ALWAYS

BE ON YOUR SIDE?

DOESN'T IT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, I DON'T HAVE

ANYBODY LIKE THAT.

YOU HAVE ME.

I'M ON YOUR SIDE.

AND I'M VERY DEEPLY INTERESTED

IN WHAT YOU FEEL AND THINK.

TELL ME.
