Incredibly, the family are invited to a ball, held by the wealthiest couple in town!
Louise is excited but nervous at the prospect of finding outfits for her four young children.
Charles is more concerned about ensuring the children are obedient and well-behaved. The ball is a total success, and
Louise manages to exchange addresses with several contacts who could help elevate her career as a playwright!
