The house hold was once again busy and poor molly had more than her fair share of chores. It was the banquet tonight and Mary and Anthea had been persistent they both wanted her to go and see the prince again, she deserved to be happy.
But the truth be told Molly was scared that he might find out who she was. By the time the family had left Molly fell into the nearest chair, just before Mary arrived.
"Well, come on, no time to dilly-dally when wonders await." Mary said in a stern serious yet happy voice.
"Not going"
"Yes you are now come on" Mary pulled Molly up from the chair and dragged her upstairs. "You'll be borrowing one of my dresses today"
Mary pulled out 2 elegant gowns one was white and the other gold, they had a corset style top and a long straight skirt that flowed down.
"Oh there beautiful, I couldn't possibly borrow one of those"
"Actually you can keep them they don't fit me any more. Now which one will you wear? Well by the looks of it I will have to chose as you are still staring blankly at me. So I think the gold one."
A few minutes later Molly was in the dress and Mary was pulling her hair up in tight curls, and applying the bare minimum of make up. When Molly looked in the mirror she hardly recognized herself never mind her family recognizing her.
She smiled at Mary who then grabbed her hand and ran down the stairs like a small child on Christmas morning, then the pair got in the carriage and were on there way.
