“No,” I heard my mother cry.
“Mother,” I called as I bolted down the stairs two at a time, “Mother are you alright” I reached the foyer to see my mother fall on her knees, her face covered in tears. I looked up to see soldiers and I knew what it meant. I heard the soldiers offering their condolences to my mother. I helped her to her feet, thanked the soldiers and sent them on their way. Mother collapsed in a nearby chair and said through the tears,
“Oh lord how will I tell Cinderella her father is dead”.

Elinor was screaming that she couldn't find her dress and we were all running back and forth trying to get ready. Finally, our dresses were laced, our hair was done and we were ready to go to the ball, they out of the shadows came a girl I could barely recognize.
