(Nina, Nellie and Eliza sitting on chairs darning socks)

Lady P: One of you knows what happened to my necklace!

Peggy: Should I look for guilty eyes?

Lady P: No, get rid of the rat infestation

Peggy: Yes Madame (hurries away)

Lady P: ELIZABETH!

ELiza: Yes???

Lady P: You like my gold necklace don't you?

Eliza: yes...

Lady P: You must have done it! Guards take her to the dungeons, tomorrow you shall be brought before the king for execution. How could you steal such a priceless royal artifact

Nina: You can't do this!

Lady P: How dare-

Elina: She's right mother, how can you accuse her of such a thing without any ground evidence

Lady P: But I KNOW she did it

(Glares at Eliza)

Elina: But you can't prove that
Lady P: I suppose I'll have to wait then. But I will prove it. You'll see!

(storms off in a rage, Elina scurrying behind her)
