ANRI, PLEASE... I DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO.
WHY WOULD AN UGLY GIRL LIKE ME WANT TO GO TO THE BALL? IT'S NOT LIKE ANYONE WOULD ASK ME TO DANCE.
BUT I KNOW YOU WANT TO GO. ISN'T THAT WHY YOU WERE CRYING?
AND YOU'RE NOT UGLY, EUNICE. NOT AT ALL.
YOU HAVE SUCH LOVELY SKIN...
AND YOUR HAIR IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS A FIELD OF WHEAT IN AUTUMN.
IT'S TRUE. YOUR CHEEKS ARE SO ROSY AS WELL, LIKE A RIPE PEACH!
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED MAKEUP!
LET'S GET STARTED.
BARBARA! GO TO MY ROOM AND BRING ME "THE DRESS."
WHAT?! ARE YOU SURE?
I'M SURE. HURRY!
I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE TAILORED.
A FEW HOURS LATER
WOW!!
THAT DRESS LOOKS WONDERFUL ON YOU, MY LADY!
IT'S MY MOTHER'S WEDDING DRESS.
I KEPT IT WELL HIDDEN ALL THIS TIME...
AWAY FROM CANDICE AND HER GRUBBY HANDS.
ANRI...
A-ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE OKAY WITH ME WEARING THIS?
OF COURSE! YOU'VE JUST GIVEN IT A WHOLE NEW LIFE.
I GUESS THIS DRESS JUST FOUND ITS NEXT HOME.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR HER...
TH-THANKS...
I'M SURE EVERYONE AT THE BALL WILL SEE HOW LOVELY SHE IS.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN, LADY ANRI.
WE HAVE TO HURRY.
FINE... LET'S GET IT OVER WITH.
ALRIGHT
MOVE IT!!
THIS MUST BE...
...WHERE MY DARLING EDWIN LIVES!!
I WONDER IF HE AND ELIZE HAVE MET BY NOW...
EHEHEH...
GOTTA KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE.
HEY, ANRI... I THINK PEOPLE ARE STARING AT US!
THIS IS GREAT!
YOU WANTED TO DANCE, RIGHT? LET'S FIND YOU A DANCE PARTNER.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
GREETINGS, MY LORD.
GASP
A-AH, I-I'M SO SORRY!
OH MY
HE'S A STRAPPING, FINE LAD.
HE SEEMS A BIT LIKE A BUMPKIN— OR, MAYBE HE'S JUST HUMBLE.
APPROVED.
EXCUSE ME, MY LORD...
IT APPEARS THAT YOU OWE MY SISTER AN APOLOGY.
OH
ANRI!
THEY'LL BE STARTING THE MUSIC SOON, IN THE GREAT HALL...
O-OH...
IN THAT CASE...
MAY I MAKE MY AMENDS BY ASKING YOU FOR A DANCE, MY LADY?
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
AND NOW, I CAN STUFF MY FACE IN PEACE.
RICH PEOPLE SURE KNOW HOW TO PUT OUT A DECENT SPREAD.
THERE YOU ARE.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE.
HOW'D YOU KNOW I WAS HERE?
THEY ANNOUNCE THE GUEST'S NAMES AS THEY MAKE THEIR ENTRANCE.
OH, SO THAT'S WHY HE SAID THAT.
I'LL SEE YOU SOON.
I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE COME!
I'M SURE YOU DIDN'T COME ALL THE WAY OUT HERE JUST TO EAT, RIGHT?
COME ON, SINCE WE'RE BOTH HERE AND ALL...
...HOW ABOUT A DANCE?
WHY IS HE ACTING LIKE THE OTHER DAY NEVER HAPPENED?
ISN'T IT AWKWARD FOR HIM TO SPEAK TO A WOMAN WHO JUST REJECTED HIM?
WELL, I GUESS IT DOESN'T MATTER, AS LONG AS HE'S FINE WITH IT.
AND I DID ACCEPT THAT PAINTING FROM HIM, SO I GUESS IT'S FAIR TO GIVE HIM A DANCE.
JUST ONE, OKAY?
DID KIRISTAN BRING YOU HERE?
YES. KIRISTAN AND MARILYN PULLED MY CARRIAGE.
BUT WHY WERE YOU SO LATE?
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!
I CAN'T LET HIM TAKE THE UPPER HAND.
DID YOU MANAGE TO FIND ANOTHER BRIDE FOR YOURSELF?
WELL, YOU SEE...
MY HEART IS STILL SET ON MY FIRST CHOICE...
...SO I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN LOOKING AT OTHER OPTIONS YET.
OH DEAR...
WHY DON'T YOU TRY LOWERING YOUR STANDARDS, THEN?
WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
HMM?
OH, I GUESS I FOUND OUR TWO WITCHES.
WHAT'S UP WITH THOSE FACES?
HOLD ON...
WHY ISN'T ANYONE ELSE DANCING?
AND WHY ARE THEY ALL STARING AT US...?
Anri convinces Eunice, who does not want to go to the ball; she showers Eunice, who thinks she is not beautiful, with compliments. She has Barbara bring the wedding dress her mother had hidden and has it taken in to fit Eunice. At the ball, she finds Eunice a dance partner, and a young lord apologizes and asks her to dance. Anri, caught eating, accepts a dance invitation.
