Crown for Christmas Page #2
Actually, they passed away
when we were young.
I'm sorry.
Allie raised us.
She dropped out of art school
to come home.
even though you're both adults.
- That's very noble.
- You have no idea.
These two were holy terrors.
Hey!
You know, I have an idea.
Perhaps you'd accept this check
as two weeks' wages
for a job...
in Winshire.
You want me to go to Europe
to clean someone's house?
I wouldn't call it a house,
and you wouldn't be cleaning it.
A governess
unexpectedly left.
As it happens, I'm looking for
a fill-in over the holidays.
Governess?
Like Mary Poppins?
Yes, but without the umbrella
and bottomless bag.
You'd be in charge
of one little girl.
But I'm a total stranger.
Not exactly.
31, never married,
not in a current relationship,
dwindling bank balance.
Former employment: sales clerk,
waitress, dog-walker.
You had me checked out?
I'm afraid I wouldn't
be here otherwise.
You see, the family is very
prominent and very discreet.
You'll be flown
first class, of course,
and have your own apartments
and lady's maid.
- She'll take it.
- Lisa!
This morning you were a maid,
and now you'll have one.
You've been
stuck here forever.
- It'll be an adventure.
- But it's Christmas.
We'll do Christmas in January.
W-Well... I...
We could use the money.
Can I just have the night
Of course.
And if your answer is yes,
I'll send a car for you
in the morning.
Thank you.
Well, thank you again
for a delicious
and most unexpected dinner.
Good night.
Good night.
Good night.
So?
Bye.
- You too.
- We'll miss you.
Merry Christmas.
- Bye, sis.
- See ya.
- Love you.
- Be safe.
Got you last!
Winshire is beautiful.
That, it is.
Would it be fair to say that
- Here it is.
- It's like a castle!
That's because it is a castle.
It's been in the family
for three centuries.
- What kind of family is this?
- A royal one.
You'll be looking after
Princess Theodora,
the daughter of King
Maximillian III of Winshire.
And you're just
telling me this now?
Discretion is
of the utmost importance.
The palace wouldn't
want it getting out
that they're employing
yet another governess.
How many have there been?
Let's say the princess can be
a bit of a handful.
That many, huh?
What a warm greeting.
Yes. Tragically,
it's not for you.
The service entrance,
please, Thomas.
- Yes, sir.
- Uh, yeah, um...
This way.
Ladies, this is Miss Evans,
our new governess.
Mrs. Claiborne, our cook,
and Miss Wick,
our head housekeeper.
She'll show you
to your quarters.
Welcome, Miss Evans.
"Allie," please.
