Birdena
- 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!
