Chapter 4- Where are you, my prince charming?
"He would be very proud of who you are." Jean finished her sentence.
"Thanks Mum." Judy said she felt much better now.
"Do you still not remember your dad at all?"
"No."
"That's alright darling. He would forgive you."
"Well, thanks for the talk, I'm off to bed." Judy smiled.
"Good-night darling."
Judy went up to Sandy's room, where she was staying and sat by the window. She looked out into the bright starry night and wondered where her Prince Charming was now. That was her secret nickname for Alistair. He truly was her Prince Charming. When ever any one in her family needed something, - anything, he was there. He had often come to their aid at times of trouble, trial, blessing, or even just something to do with Aunt Penny. He was there for everything, and had done almost every imaginable thing for them! But would he ever do what she needed him to do? It remained to be seen. For now she simply forced herself to stick to Gracie's plan and ignore him. But, she could still think about him, right?
In a room nearby, Judy's room actually, Fran lie in bed next to Gracie. Grace was sleeping fairly peacefully, but Fran could not sleep. She had too much on her mind. She hoped that Gracie was right about this, ignoring thing. It comforted her to know that Gracie was usually very right about things like this, but what if it did not work on Max. That was always a possibility; after all this is Max we're talking about!
Meanwhile, at the Mayfair hotel Maggie was lying in her bed awake. She was too excited to sleep. She had a date the next afternoon with a guy about her age who she'd met while shopping in London. She was so excited that she wanted to sequel with delight. But if she did, she'd risk waking up Yetta, and C.C., who she was sharing a sweet with. As Maggie tried to go to sleep, she pictured his face in her mind.
Yetta was sound asleep, but C.C., however was not. C.C. was too puzzled to sleep. She had agreed to go to the country with Niles the next day to see his parents. Why had she done that? How would she be able to survive this? Being the resourceful woman she was, she figured that she could find some way out of it. She would rather shop with Nanny Fine than go to the country with Niles! But then she realized that she had to go with him. He couldn't go alone, and Niles had gone plenty of places with her when she couldn't have gone alone, so she decided that this would be her way of paying him back for all of that. As she tried to go to sleep she wondered what Niles could possibly be doing at that very second.
