on June 19, 2014
Henrietta: *Near tears* No Mama, no!!! *sobs while her father looks at her in pity. James kneels beside her and embraces her. She grabs onto his coat fiercely* No no no!
Mr. Fletcher: Henrietta, stop this! I want you to be happy. Do not punish yourself for the pitfalls of your past. You shall dance and be happy. Please, Henrietta! Think of Miss Clarissa and how disappointed she will be.
Henrietta: *recovering slightly* No, Father, no! I mustn't! I will die! My heart would See More break, especially if Etienne and the company are there! No no no!
James: *stroking his sister's hair* Don't do this to yourself, Henrietta, please!
Henrietta: *Recovering.* All is well, James. I am contented! I shall return to my room at the shop and I shall finish my sewing. *shakily moves towards door and leaves silently*
Mr. Fletcher: *sighs and lights a pipe* I tell you, that mind of hers will kill her heart.

Mr. Fletcher: *ponders the story for a minute* Henrietta, come here, please. *She rises and takes her father's hands* Henrietta, my beautiful girl, you spoke of those terrible things with such excitement. You boldly rushed to Miss Raven's aid without knowing her. And yet you speak of how you do not possess enough courage to go to a ball! And how you forsook the ballet because your courage left you! And yet you danced with for fire and spirit than Essler herself. You must stop See More deceiving yourself, Henrietta! You must see the strength you have within you!
Mrs. Fletcher: Hamish, ça suffit, I will take it from here. Henrietta, come to me si'l vous plait. *Henrietta sits at her mother's knee, resting her head upon her mother's lap* Once upon a time, there was a sweet little mouse who lived in a palace. But she was afraid of the good royalty who lived there. The good royalty and subjects saw the goodness in the little mouse and they wanted to share their good fortune with her. They invited her out and tried coaxing her with treats and gifts, but the still was afraid. Many years passed and the little mouse had turned gray and gaunt, but still she was good and the royalty still hoped she would creep out from her lair, but no avail. The mouse finally passed away from a sad heart and starvation. And the royals mourned. Now, who does this sound like? Henrietta, do not fear the life your father and I gave you. Enjoy the unknown and the impossible... though I know you already do deep down. Go to the ball, ma petit souris. Dance, my daughter, and do not worry about courage or companies. Live with your heart and courage will find you.

James: Henrietta be reasonable! Do not make yourself into Cinderella. Come with me! Make merry, my precious girl! *Henrietta shrugs and looks down*
Mr. Fletcher: Tell me more of this... "occurrence", Henrietta. I'm intrigued.
Henrietta: Well, it went like this... *she continues to explain about Miss Clarissa and Raven* And then Mr. Grace, Caleb, and I were trying to stall Raven's aunt Harriet. All the while... *increases her vigor and excitement* And that is why today has See More been the most peculiar thing!

[Henrietta has just returned to her parents home so they might console her worried mind. She feels as if she is forgetting something, but doesn't remember. She sits in the parlor]
Henrietta: Oh, Papa, I have had the most exciting day! I thought I might wretch upon the cobblestones in front of nobles! *pulls handkerchief out of bustier and blots her neck and face*
Mr. Fletcher: My poor girl! What has you so vexed?
Henrietta: You wouldn't believe, Father! A girl was nearly kidnapped See More and imprisoned! And I witnessed it! *Pales while James brings her a cold cloth*
James: You're too weak, sister. I would have fought them off or called for help!
Mrs. Fletcher: James! Be good to your sister! Mon cherie, it is not all bad. You have a ball to attend soon! N'est ce pas?
Henrietta: Non, Mama! I can't! After all that I've been through! And to be gay and witty whilst flirting with my gloves and fan... it is not for me, Mama! *James embraces his sister and gives her a reassuring kiss on the cheek*

(alright ttyl!!!)
Clarissa: *looks at Raven* Oh, I am so sorry... I nearly forgot you were here! You are lucky you have a man taking you to such a ball. I am still bachelorless. Maybe fate will change for me though and I will meet someone there. *sits on the fountain again*

*Sweet little red headed girl skips into the shop* Henrietta: Oh, hello! *Curtsies and kneels down to her eye level* I do believe a princess has stumbled across my mistress's humble shop. How may I be of service?
Clarissa: *follows* Oh my God! Is that--- *sees her brother peaking from around a corner* It is. *picks up dress and runs towards him with Marie trailing behind*
on June 18, 2014
Henrietta: Goodness! What's going on out there? *Sees a commotion happening across the street*

Clarissa: Whatever fits you. The back door will be locked but here. *pulls out keys from her purse* This is the key corresponding with the back door. Now, know, I expect you to not raise a finger until at least after the ball! The house is yours and please make yourself at home!

*sighs*
Raven: I'm not ready to marry, but that sounds like a good choice, I shall accept it. I will pack up my things and head out at night. Harriet will be out drinking herself silly again. 9 or 10 pm, ma'am?

on June 18, 2014
Clarissa: That is bold. But listen here, what if I could offer you an easy way out. See my brothers are searching for a wife and you seem like a good candidate but I could see how this could be unsatisfactory. So, another option would be you could work at my house as a maid and my family would refuse to let you marry. Running away seems precarious and I think See More there are easier options to choose from.

Henrietta: I did not realize it was so late! My mistress at the shop shall be vexed if I'm out much longer. Thank you for your kindness. I will ponder your proposal and if some wild turn of events should give me courage then I shall come. I'm so glad I met you. I value you very much, Miss Clarissa. *slips the tip from earlier under the plate and moves towards See More the door* There was never a lady more noble than you.
on June 18, 2014
Clarissa: Do not say such things! The invite specifically said EVERY person in Wilksin should attend! You are part of Wilksin and so the hand has been extended to you too. But, if you are still nervous of your place I, Miss Clarissa Grace, do formally invite you to attend the ball with me as an honored guest. I am not saying you must come but the invite is there See More and the hope for you there are very real. *looks at watch* Oh, my! I do not want to keep you much longer for it is later then I expected. Feel free to come and go as you please though.

Oh, I wish I could have given you the royal feast you deserve but I will only be able to provide you with hors-d'oeuvres. I must make hence or we will not be eating anything! See More I will see you very, very soon, fair lady! *waves and runs home and starts getting things ready for her guest*
on June 18, 2014
Henrietta: Is it improper? I- *reluctantly smiles* I do believe I have refused you far too much today. Who am I do defy a lady of such grace and class? I accept your kind offer.
on June 18, 2014
Clarissa: *frowns *Then would you at least join me for dinner tonight? None of my family is here, as they are all in London for my sister's wedding, and I am not one for being alone. You must tell me more of your secret Romeo and *takes in a breath* I would like a friend and you seem a perfect candidate.
