My head was in a spin as I dashed up the stairs to my room. The stairs didn't even seem to be as steep, so light were my steps. I rushed to the trunk in the corner of my room and took out my mother's old dress. It had to be good enough! It just had to be! Maybe I would have a few spare moments after my chores to fix it up. The notice had said "every eligible young maiden!" There was no way they could keep me home from the ball!
