Dear Daddy Long Legs
Are you doing well'?
I am doing vzry well, but I am worried about something
Hey, what are your plans for the Christmas vacation?
I'm going to Russia with my boyfriend!
That's wonderful1
So what about you
#unrecognized text#
I know the Christmas vacation is just around the corner.
I know you're all waiting impatiently for it
But don't forget that we have an exam before the vacation.
What? An exam?
No, Daddy
I'm not worried about the exam.
Honestly
That's all for today
Lets go, Judy.
Y Yeah.
Oh, which dress should I have custommade?
Will that design be all right
Oh, it really looks good on you.
But it's a party for the New York elite, isn't it?
I'm worried about it.
That's right Oaddy
Sallie and I were invited to a party this Christmas at Julians house.
It'll be fine!
Its just a party with lots of rich people.
Come oh, lets go pick up your dress tf~ * and pick up some lacy gloves, too.
She said it was just a party with lots of rich people
but there are also many people from noble families here.
Sadie said that she was nervous about going, but
I'm practically dreading it
But even so, I don't really hla good relationship with Julias mother
Its lovely, Sallie.
It looks good on you.
Thanks.
Say, Judy, which dress are you going to wear?
I haven't decided yet
But anyway, I don't know \i Oaddy will give me permission to go.
Oh, if "he cant come, I'll'use the Pendleton name tand get you a formal invitation!
If you have an invitation from the Pendleton family, even your Daddy will let youi come!
So you'd better come!
It wont be any fun without the three of us there.
Right?

#unrecognized text#
I'm glad you came.

If you weren't here, I wouldn't know what to do
So, you came all this way for me?
No, I came here for my own sake.
She's the daughter of the President of City Bank!
She's a beautiful lady
What%3A/ron<j, Jervis?
Jervis?
Jervisi
Jervis, someone's calling you.
Jervisi
Oh, Catherine.
Let me introduce you.
This is...
I don't mean to be rude, but I don't have time for that.
My father asked me to bring you back home right away
But Catherine, I have a partner here.
T
Oo you have to escort her?
Jervis, Julia and Sadie are here with me, so...
Thank you
My, what an adorable youngllady!
i m Catherine.
I'm Judy Abbott
Jervis. You should hurry
Her fathers here.
No. I thought I rejected jhis proposal.
What are you saying?
Her father is worried
In any case, you should at least talk things over with him.
I've finally found you!
So you have.
Come, this way
II be right back, Judy
#unrecognized text#
Will you come to our house with Catherine later?
Judy.
#unrecognized text#
Id like to know some more about your family background.
My family background?
#unrecognized text#
Id like to know all about it
Why is that?
Jervis is engaged to Catherine right now
She's the only daughter of the President of City Bank
What are you trying to say?
Julia has told me that Jervis is quite infatuated with you.
Of course, he doesn't really love you.
You understand, don't you?
Jervis is a member of the Pendleton family.
What do you mean?
I don't know what it means to you, but to society, family background is the most important thing.
For example, just having you together with JerVis at this party Would..
Spread many rumors about our family.
What rumors?
For instance, a rumor you are only interested in Jervis for his money.
What?
Oh, Jervis!
What are you looking at, Jervis?
Its nothing.
I've had your background investigated.
Its a very pitiful background that is too horrible to^speak of here.
Don't misunderstand me, Judy
I haven't told anyone about any of it yet
This is a party, after all.
What do you think?
I think we would both benefit from an arrangement
What should I do?
I wont tell anyone about your family background.
Of course, that includes Julia
You'll graduate in; six-months.
In exchange, I would like you to...
Please rest easy.
I don't think Jervis has any feelings for me.
Of course not
You understand, don't you*
Oh, but JertfiS is just an ordinary whimsical person.
Oont forget that.
That's right
Oh, Jervis!
It has to be this way, Judy
What was, I thinking?
In the end, we* live in different worlds.
What did I think was goin to happen?
Its ridiculous!
What did I think was going) to happen between Jervis and me?
It was doomed from the start
An orphan like me.
Doesn't belong here with the elite.
Judy!
She said that she has something urgent to attend to.
Sister.
What did you say to her?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Judyl
Judy!
\ JUOYH!
