Meanwhile on the DeVil Estate, 'Ella' was welcomed by the sight of her home. Although it was actually a rather large mansion that could have easily rivaled even a huge castle such as that of Buckingham Palace, itself, the newly cured devil woman had only one response to give to Jermaine about the place.
Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: It's smaller than I remember.
Of course, Jermaine just told the newly rehabilitated devil woman exactly what she had more than likely wanted to hear from her Jamaican valet.
Jermaine Marion Sabano: I k-kept everything just as you l-left it, Miss DeVil 'mon.
Of course, Harriette and Carlisle, naturally, were very disappointed in the newly reformed Cruella DeVil for having expected more from her home than the giant palace it technically was. The two both spoke to one another in their own languages, though.
Carlisle: Can you even believe the arrogance of this woman?
Harriette: If this is smaller than she remembered it to have been, I'd hate to think of how much bigger she remembered it.
Carlisle: Oh, great! She's talking to us again.
Harriette: We'd better make it finally known that we can't stand her, then.
Of course as 'Ella' talked to the two of them, Carlisle snarled and growled at his new owner while Harriette tried once again to claw at the newly rehabilitated devil woman. The Sphynx cat also hissed up a good storm of hissing at 'Ella'.
Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: Oh, come, Carlisle, Harriette. We'll all share a bath.
Just as usual, however, it still was not enough to get the message across to the newly reformed devil woman.
Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman (continued): An interminable soak scented with lavender and a drop of Sumatran_
That was around when 'Ella' felt the railing on her staircase as she ascended the stairs with both her new dog and new cat in her hands. The newly cured devil woman then tsked up a storm at her valet for letting her home become so dusty. Jermaine had looked at 'Ella' with fear in his eyes that he had disappointed his own employer by leaving so much dust on the railing. Then, 'Ella' decided that a little dust on even the staircase railing was not as big a deal as she had made out of it.
Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman (continued): Never mind. I think I'll enjoy doing a little dusting.
Of course while Jermaine just laughed rather nervously that he had gotten off surprisingly easy with 'Ella', Carlisle and Harriette were quite miserable that they had to keep the newly reformed devil woman company in her house.
Harriette: Maybe if we pretend to drown in that bath, this woman'll finally let us be in peace.
Carlisle: Well, I know you'd be covered in that area, but I'm only wondering if a fall from the height at which she has both of us would kill me.
They even continued to growl, snarl, hiss and scratch at the newly cured devil woman as 'Ella' continued speaking to them both.
Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: Oh, Carlisle, Harriette, a bath, followed by a nap...
Just at the very mention of spending further time with her, Harriette and Carlisle both grew more and more miserable.
Harriette: Oh, great! Just great! She wants to share a nap with us, too.
Carlisle: That is one nap that'll give me a whole bunch of premature nightmares.
As 'Ella' continued speaking to the two of them, she also continued to talk a lot about the nap following the bath that she had wanted to share with both of them.
Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: _ submerged with feathered pillows and satin_
Then, 'Ella' began screaming like the voice of doom, and both Carlisle and Harriette came rushing off of the top of the stairs in hopes that a fall from that height would have certainly taken both of their lives. Jermaine had even dropped 'Ella's things onto which he still held in his arms upon hearing the scream.
Carlisle: Look out below!
Harriette: Bombs away!
Of course, Carlisle and Harriette had planned on killing themselves by jumping from off the top of the stairs. Unfortunately for the both of them, Carlisle was caught by Jermaine's hands and Harriette just landed painstakingly on her feet like one would have expected from a cat such as her even without a coat of fur to absorb the oils that her exposed skin produced as a Sphynx.
Carlisle (continued): Drat! Rescued by the hired help!
Harriette: It still beats forgetting once again that as a cat, I always land on my feet, even when I fall from the top of a set of stairs.
Then not long after the scream that was followed by both Carlisle and Harriette trying to kill themselves just to escape from her, 'Ella' came rushing out of her own bedroom from which she had entered only a few moments before then.
Carlisle: Oh, dear!
Harriette: Yep, she's still freaking out!
Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: Jermaine! Fur! It's everywhere! Lock them away! Bury them beyond sight and memory!
Jermaine, of course, responded to 'Ella's demands to lock away her collection of fur fashion 'beyond sight and memory', as the newly rehabilitated devil woman had initially termed her orders to him.
Jermaine Marion Sabano: Oh, yes. Right away, Miss DeVil 'mon. Oh, wait!
Then, Jermaine suddenly started to hesitate to follow orders for the first time since having gone to work for a woman such as 'Ella'.
Jermaine Marion Sabano (continued): You even wanna lock away your Mongolian pony skin trousers and your_
Of course since 'Ella' no longer cared much for fur fashion after she underwent her treatment from Doctor Strabane in prison, she had wanted nothing more than to have fur fashion be out of her life.
Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: Now!
Naturally since 'Ella' said it, Jermaine knew that she meant it.
