• Ella : Who is Mrs. Toquet?

  Widow Sonder : Isn't she the crazy old woman who lives in the woods, she's harmless but she steals.

  [adjusting Serafina's stays] 

  Ella : Has she always been like that? I mean has she always...

  Widow Sonder : They say she was once a grand lady and lived on the hill. But she took to reading books and went from bad to worse, stuffed her head with full of ideas, and now she's a bit addled.

  Birdena : A bit addled? Oh, Mother! She's as crazy as a cockroach.

  Ella : No she isn't! She's just different. She's full of good ideas.

• Cousin Loulou : I should like to present my cousin Mrs. Sonder, and her two daughters Birdena and Serafina.

  Kovin : [interrupts, elbowing his way between Birdena and the Widow]  Charles. I beg your pardon.

  Birdena : It's a great privilege, Your Highness. I'm looking forward to hearing about your travels.

  Serafina : Oh yes! We're very fond of Paris.

  Prince Charles : Oh, you know Paris?

  Birdena : Oh, we don't precisely know Paris, but we're very devoted to it, aren't we, Cousin Loulou? It's so French!
