Author’s Note: I wrote the answer to the challenge line in Dotty’s point of view. Because she doesn’t go to the ball, I switched that part of the story to Amanda’s point of view. I hope this doesn’t confuse anyone.

Thanks again to my wonderful beta, Miss Edna, and her faithful typist, Rita. As usual, they did a bang-up job. Any mistakes belong to me alone. And a special thanks to Ana, who brainstormed with me over every detail. I just had to give her credit as co-author.
