Chapter 20 Summary

Sir Peter sells much of the contents of the family home to pay off debts. Ella spends most of her time with Mandy, helping her to cook and clean. Dame Olga and Sir Peter marry. Before the ceremony, Ella tells Hattie that she’ll pull the wig off her head if she speaks to her at all. The ceremony is long and tedious. Lucinda arrives and places a spell on Sir Peter and Dame Olga: They will love each other as long as they live.

Chapter 21 Summary

Ella bumps into Char. Char reveals that her father used to live in the palace they were in, and that there is a rumor of a secret passage. Char and Ella look for it. While searching, they come across a pair of glass slippers. Ella tries them on and they fit perfectly. They dance to the sound of the orchestra from downstairs, discussing Lucinda’s spell on Ella’s father and Dame Olga. Char and Ella slide laughingly down the banister into the group of Sir Peter, Dame Olga, Hattie, and Olive.
