Rose DeWitt Bukater was everything a well brought up girl should be who came from a wealthy family. She was being dragged to America on the supposedly biggest ocean liner of her day, the "Titanic" and was traveling with her mother, Ruth, who was a wealthy Philadelphia society lady who's husband passed away a couple years ago, and Cal, Rose's fiancée.

Rose stepped out of her vehicle, with the help of her valet, at the docks of the Harland and Wolfe Company. She glared at the huge ship looking somewhat depressed at the sight of it.

"Oh Rose, why do you have to be so disappointed when we're going to travel on the most magnificent ship ever?" Cal said.

"I don't understand why I must be dragged to America against my will!" Rose exclaimed.

"Now Rose we'll be starting a new life in America. Don't ruin this trip." Ruth said.

Cal gave their luggage to their valet to carry up to their deluxe parlor suites, B-52, 54, 56 and then they walked up the gangway to enter the ship.

The ship was everything one could ever dream of. The place was extravagant and simply divine. The Grand Staircase was one of the most talked about because of its large glass dome, gold trimmed steps, and the ornate clock of Honor and Glory on the landing. The deluxe parlor suite Rose was staying in was one of the most elaborate staterooms.

Rose was in her stateroom hanging up paintings and Cal was ordering people where to put their luggage.

"Rose, isn't this stateroom fabulous?" Cal said, looking at the fireplace.

"It is if you want to show off your money." Rose answered.

"Don't worry Cal, she likes it." Ruth exclaimed.

"Your daughter is far to difficult to impress Ruth."

"I'm going out mother." Rose said, leaving the stateroom.

Rose went to the Grand Staircase on A-deck where a hurried third class passenger ran into her.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Are you alright?" The man asked.

"It was very rude of you to bump into me like that! And besides, you're not even supposed to be up here! This is first class only, Leave at once!" Rose stated, full of anger.

The young man left and Rose sat down on one of the chairs facing the staircase. A young woman sat down next to her.

"Hello. Grand ship isn't she?" the woman said.

"Yes, very." Rose replied.

"To bad my baby couldn't experience it. I'm pregnant and very happy too! It's my first child." Said the woman.

"I'm sure you're overwhelmed." Rose said.

"Oh yes, certainly! By the way, my name is Madeleine Astor, first class."

"Yes, I've heard of your husband. Nice to be acquainted with you, I'm Rose DeWitt Bukater."

"Oh yes! You're traveling in the deluxe parlor suite I've heard. J.J. and I tried to get one but since there is only two of us we decided we'd leave it for a more bigger family."

"I must go and get ready for dinner. I'm sure we'll meet again." Rose said.

"Yes, I must as well. Goodbye." Madeleine said.
