The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 783

"Mrs. McMillian, your taste is impeccable. You've picked out the crown jewel of our store."

"Mrs. McMillian must really care for you, splurging on such an elegant and expensive dress for you."

Compliments flowed around Arabella. After a while, Jennifer had purchased quite a few items. George, unable to carry any more, called their chauffeur to ask where he was.

"I can carry it."

"But your back."

"It's alright, really."

Just then, a female voice squealed in disbelief, "Arabella?"
