Oh I LOVE IT WHEN GOOD KICKS EVIL IN THE BUTT! I really felt sorry for the stepsisters being forced to grow up with a money hungry and deceitful step mother. Poor shy but truly gifted with selflessness, Aideen had been happy with her books and her Brownie friend to talk to, and she stuttered around strangers, large and small parties. Her status seeking stepmother intended for her to go to the Black Queen's ball and get a lord, but how could she do it when she knew no one there?
