Act 2/Scene 7

Question 1

(trying on shoe)

Official: So far, no luck.

Answer 1

Madame: Now, when you try on the shoe, make eye contact with his Highness. For our family, you shall try the shoe on first.

Question 2

Charlotte: You got rid of Gabrielle because she likes that guy who might be our new Prime Minister–wow–good call there!

Answer 2

Madame: I don’t know what is going on in this world. Everything I felt was holy and true is trash. That which meant nothing to me now appears to mean everything.

Question 3

(Ella approaches to try on the shoe)

Answer 3

Madame: By all means, make yourself ridiculous, try on the slipper.

Question 4

Topher: Please don’t run away again, I don’t think I could bear it.

Answer 4

Madame: It was…you? We both know how horribly I have treated you since your father’s death. I know it is beyond reason to expect some of your famous kindness. I am not worthy.

Question 5

Ella: I forgive you.

Answer 5

Madame: Thank you.

Question 6

Charlotte: Do you think that includes me?

Answer 6

Madame: For you it probably involves several hours of community service.
