Drizella Mmm? What?
Get up. Quick, this instant. We haven't a moment to lose. [goes into Anastasia's room] Anastasia? Anastasia. Get up, Anastasia.
[yawning]
Huh? What for? Why?
Oh, everyone's talking about it. The whole kingdom. Oh, hurry now. He'll be here any minute.
Drizella [yawning]
Who will?
The Grand Duke. He's been hunting all night.
Drizella Hunting?
For that girl. The one who lost her slipper at the ball last night. They say he's madly in love with her.
Oh, no, no, no. The Prince.
And, by royal command, every eligible maiden is to attend!
Drizella Why, that's us!
Why, that means I can go too!
Drizella Hah! Her, dancing with the Prince. [laughing]
[mocking Cinderella]
I'd be honored, Your Highness. [holds out her flute] Would you mind holding my broom? [both waltz in place, laughing derisively]
Well, why not? After all I'm still a member of the family, and it said, "by royal command, every eligible maiden is to attend."
Well, I see no reason why you can't go... if you get all your work done.
And, if you can find something suitable to wear.
I'm sure I can. Oh, thank you, Stepmother.
Drizella [she exits]
Mother! Do you realize what you just said?
Drizella [realizing]
Oh! If.
[they all laugh]
Poor Cinderelly. Ev'ry time she find a minute, that's the time when they begin it. "Cinderelly! Cinderelly!"

[singing]
Keep-a busy, Cinderelly!
Mother, I don't see why everyone else seems to have such nice things to wear, and I always end up in these old rags. This sash! Why, I wouldn't be seen dead in it!
Drizella You should talk. These beads! I'm sick of looking at them! Trash!
Drizella I don't see why...!
[They leave the room, complaining.]
Drizella Oh, of all the stupid little idiots! I'll do it myself! Get away from me! [she stuns the Herald with another shoe and kicks him to make him go away] I'll make it fit! There!
[it appears that the slipper fits her]
It fits!
[eventually Drizella's foot turns out to be too large for the shoe, which makes a flight in the air. The Herald rushes to take it, and in the end, Grand Duke manages to save the footwear, sighing in relief]
Oh, Your Grace, I'm dreadfully sorry. It shan't happen again.
[noticeably exasperated while the Herald brushes him]
Precisely, madam.
You are the only ladies of the household, I hope— [catches himself] I—I presume.
There's no one else, your Grace.
Quite so. Good day, good day.
[He starts to leave, but Cinderella suddenly appears at the top of the stairs.]
Your Grace! Your Grace! Please, wait. May I try it on?
Oh. Pay no attention to her.
Drizella Our scullery maid.
Drizella Absolutely ridiculous.
Yes, just an imaginative child!
Madame, my orders were every maiden!
