Matilda, The Ugly, A Romance (Abridged) by Joanne Okano (Chapter Two, still)

     The prince loved it too and so he invited her to a dance you think, but no that wasn't until he saw her legs.  She flounced her skirt and he looked her up and down and invited her to a dance, on account of her nice legs.  (She had to have some redeeming feature.)
     Her dancing was temporary until she slipped and fell and he bent and picked her up, you know and the mushroom jolted into the wrong place and gave her indigestion.  She was quite up in arms about it.
     "What shall I do next?  My dancing is over for the evening," she quipped to her fiance, which he was by this point.
     Now this wasn't wise, children, you know why?  This dancing I mean.  They got to know each other too quickly without the arms-length period at the beginning the Church recommends.  And the fiance thing, well, that was too fast too.
