When the commission arrives

PrudenceThis will not do.
PrudenceThis will not do at all.
PrudenceDressmaker, I require that you close the doors of this establishment immediately.
YouBut I only just opened them.
PrudencePrecisely my point! As you are the new Dressmaker in town, you will doubtless be in great demand.
PrudenceIf the other ladies of Twillford have access to your services, why, they might even see fit to purchase your wares. And do you know what that means?
YouI will receive an income?
PrudenceCompetition!
PrudenceImagine, if you will, that one of these other ladies’ dresses should catch the attention of the Duke.
PrudenceImagine it! Is that not an intolerable idea, Dressmaker? I may swoon.
PrudenceAs you are no doubt aware, Duke Hassan’s uncle died last week.
PrudenceWith the Duke now so vulnerable and eligible, think how easily a well-dressed lady might swoop in to comfort him…
PrudenceBat her eyelashes…
PrudenceShow some ankle…
Prudence…and steal MY prize catch!
PrudenceShameless hussy!
YouMa’am, I don’t believe we have been introduced.
PrudenceIndeed? Well, the future Duchess of Twillford should not require introduction, but I will show leniency today.
PrudenceMy name is Prudence Mortimer. You may call me Duchess Prudence Mortimer.

You pick one answer:

  • YouOkay, Prudy.
    PrudenceI did not hear that, and you will not say it again.
  • You'Future Duchess?'
    PrudenceYes, because I am yet to marry the Duke. Do keep up.
  • YouUm. Sure.
    PrudenceGood!
PrudenceAs I was saying, Duke Hassan is to attend his uncle’s funeral this weekend. It is very tragic, yes…tremendously sad…
PrudenceAlso, everyone will be dressed in dowdy black — which means that I may stand out should I wear a dazzling colour.
PrudenceThe contrast is sure to draw the Duke’s eye! Is that not marvellously clever of me, Dressmaker?
PrudenceAs such, you will make for me a glamorous, elegant dress in the most arresting colour possible. Nothing black!
PrudenceMake it so that it is impossible for the Duke to overlook his future Duchess. Cost is no object.
YouAccept Commission

If the dress passes

PrudenceYes. This is perfectly adequate.
Prudence...well done.
PrudenceNow I must go, but you shall certainly hear of my upcoming nuptials the next time we meet.
PrudenceUnless, of course, I am waylaid by the Duke’s meddling sister.
PrudenceSuch a spoiled, frivolous woman, always talking about ‘art’ and ‘politics.’
PrudenceShe conspires to interrupt my perfectly innocent conversations with her brother.
PrudenceBeware that lady, Dressmaker. She is liable to put queer ideas in your head.

If the dress fails

PrudenceDressmaker. I fear you have suffered a grave misunderstanding.
PrudenceI wish to attract the Duke. Not repel him.
PrudenceThis situation must be remedied. It is of critical importance that I am shown to best effect at this funeral.
YouIf you are certain it's what you want, I'll make some adjustments.

The dress goes back on your table, so you can alter it.

PrudenceYour understanding is appreciated. I look forward to a better result.

When the commission arrives

PrudenceDressmaker.
PrudenceI see you have still not installed the chaise lounge we discussed.
YouThe chaise lounge?
PrudenceYes, the chaise lounge.
PrudenceShould I wish to swoon, I will require a suitably soft surface to land upon.
PrudenceHence, the chaise lounge.
PrudenceDid I not make this abundantly clear during my last visit?
YouDuring your last visit, you told me to shut my doors.
PrudenceAnd lo! You appear to have spectacularly failed to accomplish that, too!
PrudenceCould you not at least conjure up, oh, I do not know…a stool of some description?
PrudenceI am having the most vexing day.

You pick one answer:

  • YouDid you fail an etiquette class on good posture?
  • YouDid you suffer a misplaced grapefruit spoon at the breakfast table?
  • YouDid you encounter an uncouth youth during your morning promenade?
PrudenceNo, as a matter of fact, my brother is threatening to evict me from my home.
PrudenceAlthough I am sure you will find that equally amusing.
Prudence...
PrudencePrimogeniture, you see.
PrudenceAs the firstborn son, my brother inherits the entire family estate, while I must subsist only on his, well, limited forbearance.
YouI had no idea.
PrudenceWell, I am hardly going to advertise the situation, Dressmaker.
PrudenceIf people were to discover that my younger brother treats me as his unpaid maid, I would be made a laughingstock in polite society.
PrudenceAs it stands, I already wait on him hand and foot. He dismissed his other servants the very day Father died.
PrudenceIf I fail to cater to his every whim, he will turn me out alongside my young nieces.
PrudenceI cannot allow that to happen. We have nowhere else to go.
PrudenceWhich is why it is absolutely imperative that I win the affections of Duke Hassan.
PrudenceIf I marry someone suitably rich, I will never again need to beg my brother for anything.
PrudenceEnough chit-chat from me, however! I do, as a matter of fact, require a new dress.
PrudenceI am looking for an outfit that will allow me to appear elegant while engaged in menial labour.
PrudenceIt should be relatively simple, so that I might gracefully transition from scrubbing floors to drinking champagne with high society.
YouAccept Commission

If the dress passes

PrudenceExcellent work. This will do very well for my purposes.
PrudenceAnd Dressmaker? I trust you will be discrete regarding my…situation? It is a delicate matter, that is all.
YouI understand
PrudenceI am glad to hear it. Good day now.

If the dress fails

PrudenceI really do recommend you visit the local physician to have your hearing tested.
PrudenceHow anyone might believe that this dress is remotely suitable for my purposes is beyond me.
PrudenceRegardless, I suppose I shall have to make do with this travesty in the mean time.
PrudenceAnd Dressmaker? I trust you will be discrete regarding my…situation? It is a delicate matter, that is all.
YouI understand

When the commission arrives

PrudenceGood afternoon, Dressmaker.

You pick one answer:

  • YouOh hi, Prudy.
    PrudenceI did not hear that, and I will continue as if you never spoke.
  • YouA very good day to you too, Duchess Prudence Mortimer.
    PrudenceOh! Oh yes, I do rather enjoy the sound of that. Please continue to address me so.
  • YouAre you here to complain about my furniture again?
    PrudenceThat depends. Have you acquired a chaise lounge?
PrudenceIt is springtime in Twillford. Do you know why that is significant?
PrudenceBecause it marks the return of one of the most important events in any socialite’s calendar — the Spring Fete!
PrudenceAnd the Duke will once again be <swing>in attendance.</swing>
PrudenceArmed with my wits, my charms, and my excellent good looks, I cannot lose.
PrudenceHe may have been distracted before, but this time —this time!— I shall win the man! And his vast personal fortune!
PrudenceAlthough...
PrudenceIn strictest confidence…
Prudence…men are rather tiresome on the whole, are they not?
PrudenceNot to mention that I will doubtless spend the entire evening evading the Duke's accursed sister.
YouI gather Priya can be a little protective.
PrudenceThat is one way of phrasing it. I would go as far as to suggest that the woman is obsessed with me.
PrudenceAs though her brother were a delectable little fish, and I a great circling leviathan.
PrudencePreposterous. I am not intending to eat the man.
YouYou only want his money.
PrudencePrecisely!
PrudenceHaving said that, I admit that I might have rather misjudged Priya…possibly.
PrudenceAt a recent soiree, I saw a number of her new paintings. Still lifes of floral arrangements, great quantities of sunflowers and daffodils.
PrudenceLooking at them, I was overcome by the strangest feeling.
YouWhat sort of a feeling?
PrudenceI don’t rightly know. A certain sympathy, I suppose.
PrudencePerhaps it was admiration, for the way that she perceives so much beauty in the world. I wished…I wished to understand her better.
PrudenceAlthough art remains a frivolous pursuit, I believe she is a very passionate person. Most singular and determined.
PrudenceAnd so I thought: <rainb>florals.</rainb>
PrudenceI would very much like to attend the Spring Fete in bright, beautiful florals this year.
PrudencePerhaps that will make Priya look upon me more kindly as her future sister-in-law.
PrudenceYou may have 750. I would like a dress fit for spring — a gown that is romantic, and floral-themed. I wish to resemble a lovely painting.
YouAccept Commission

If the dress passes

PrudenceYou have outdone yourself, Dressmaker. This is exactly what I had in mind, and I am exceedingly pleased.
PrudenceWell, much like the onset of new growth in spring, I too must strive ever upwards.
PrudenceDo look out for news of my upcoming engagement!

If the dress fails

PrudenceIn this dress, I shall not so much resemble a blooming rose, as a wilted lettuce.
PrudenceThis is not at all what I had in mind, Dressmaker.
PrudenceWell, much like the onset of new growth in spring, I too must strive ever upwards.
PrudenceDo look out for news of my upcoming engagement!

When the commission arrives

PrudenceI have fallen victim to a heinous plot.
YouGood morning, Prudence. It is nice to see you again. I am well, thank you for enquiring.
PrudenceAs you know, art is the providence of scoundrels and layabouts.
YouIndeed, the weather has been very fine, and yes, business has been rather demanding of late, but I endeavour to do my best for my customers.
PrudenceA proper lady would never stoop to pick up a paintbrush, for example. It is unseemly. The imagination is a positively dangerous—
YouI am guessing this is about Priya.
PrudencePriya, yes!
PrudenceThe source of all my strife, and the immovable obstacle standing in the path of my honest marital ambitions. The instigator of this latest scheme to debase my virtuous mind!
PrudenceShe has launched a new exhibition, and I wish to see it.
YouThen...go?
PrudenceI cannot simply ‘go!’ What if someone were to witness me? The damage to my reputation would be immeasurable.
PrudenceNo, no, do not be absurd.
PrudenceIf I am to attend, I must ensure that I do so unrecognised. For this reason, I will require an appropriate disguise.
PrudenceA dress so out of character that no one would ever think it me!
PrudenceLet’s see… I want a dress that is cute, playful, and patterned. Is that not absurd? I will pay you 750 for the job.
YouAccept Commission

If the dress passes

PrudenceOh, this is positively ridiculous. Excellent! No one would ever suspect me of wearing such a silly dress.
PrudenceThis is all rather thrilling, isn't it?
PrudenceYes, quite devious of me. No one shall ever suspect I have seen all of Priya’s works!

If the dress fails

PrudenceHm. Do you think this will be adequate as a disguise? I am not wholly convinced.
PrudenceI shall contrive an alibi. Just in case.
PrudenceThis is all rather thrilling, isn't it?
PrudenceYes, quite devious of me. No one shall ever suspect I have seen all of Priya’s works!

Prudence……
Prudence……
Prudence……you still lack a chaise lounge, Dressmaker.

You pick one answer:

  • YouAre you all right, Prudence?
    PrudenceOf course I am not ‘all right!’ Do I look remotely ‘all right’ to you?
    PrudenceIt turns out that what I am, in fact, is ‘all WRONG!’
  • YouI sense that the chaise lounge may not be the real problem here.
    PrudenceOf course it is!
    PrudenceThis is a matter of people behaving as they ought to behave, giving me what I want when I want it, and not proposing to an entirely different, very beautiful woman instead of me.
  • YouThe town carpenter told me that he is working on it.
    PrudenceWell, that is all very well, but how does it help me NOW?
PrudenceWHY is the Duke marrying MARIE?!
PrudenceI suppose I will have to be happy for the bride.
PrudenceWELL, I AM NOT.
PrudenceI AM NOT HAPPY.
PrudenceWas I not gay? Did I not smile and flatter and twirl my skirts?
PrudenceAll my efforts are wasted, all my plans are ruined, and where am I left? I do not know what to do.
YouI am sorry.
PrudenceThe worst part is that I can hardly be angry at Marie. She is so nice.
PrudenceI cannot be mad at the Duke either — no, that is like being mad at a slow-witted Labrador.
PrudenceAnd yet I must direct my fury somewhere, or else I shall explode.
PrudenceDo you know who is really to blame here? Well, I will tell you who is really to blame here — Priya.
PrudenceThat is right. The Duke’s sister!
PrudenceShe conspired to distract me! She did it on purpose, with her lovely sunflowers, and her perfect hair, and her clever, interesting conversation. She is the reason I am…I am…
PrudenceI do not know what to do. And my poor nieces…where will we go?
PrudenceDo you know, Priya had the nerve to invite me to the wedding? Imagine the gall, Dressmaker.
PrudenceShe dares to pity me, or dares to mock me. Well, I’ll show her. I will attend the Duke’s wedding.
PrudenceAnd so I want you to make a dress for me. And when people see me at the wedding in this dress, I want them to plainly understand that I am better than all of them.
PrudenceBetter than the Duke, better than Marie, and most especially better than Priya.
PrudenceThis dress is a damn-you-all dress, and it had best be spectacular. When they see me, they will understand the mistake that they have made.
PrudenceFor the wedding, I must be dressed in black eveningwear. You will have 1500. Think elaborate, think risqué, think glamorous. No flowers at all.
YouAccept Commission

If the dress passes

PrudencePerfect. It is perfect in every way. I will be honoured to wear this.
PrudenceWe may not see each other again, Dressmaker. And if that is so, I wish to thank you — for your discretion, for your patience, and for your dresses.
PrudenceI am aware that I may not be your favourite client, but it is also true that this place has been a refuge for me.
PrudenceRegardless, I am sure you will hear of how this latest dress is received by society. The town does love its gossip.
PrudenceFarewell. And thank you.

If the dress fails

PrudenceDressmaker, this is not what I asked for.
YouI know.
PrudenceIn that case, why are you presenting it to me?

You pick one answer:

  • YouBecause the dress you asked for is a bad idea.
    PrudencePerhaps.
    PrudenceI find I cannot bring myself to care.
  • YouBecause I think this look is better.
    PrudenceOh, well, in that case!
    PrudenceWhat is the point of commissioning a specific dress, if one's commission is immediately disregarded?
  • YouBecause you don't really want a damn-you-all dress.
    PrudenceDo not presume to tell me what I want.
    YouYou are upset, and acting against your own interests.
    PrudenceDo not presume to tell me my interests either.
PrudenceDressmaker, this is my choice.
PrudenceYour concern on my behalf is……
PrudenceIt is kind. I appreciate it. But I will not be deterred.
YouFine, I'll make the changes.

The dress goes back on your table, so you can alter it.

PrudenceIt is my hope that you will do better this time.

Sudden Departure

When the commission arrives

PrudenceGood afternoon.
YouOh, Prudence! I was beginning to worry about you.
Prudence…
PrudenceI shan’t stay long. I depart Twillford later this evening.
PrudenceMy brother has only given me a few hours to pack my belongings, and I cannot miss my coach.
PrudenceI can offer you a budget of 500 for this commission—
YouWait, you are leaving?!
PrudenceThere may be employment for me at the Tulleton Mill, or else in the sculleries of the larger houses in the region.
PrudenceMy brother is of the opinion that no decent household would deign to hire me, but perhaps I will go unrecognised.
PrudenceI can offer you a budget of 500 for this commission—
YouWhat on earth does that mean?
PrudenceHave you not read the broadsheets? I am an embarrassment and a scandal.
PrudenceAfter my “disgraceful appearance” at Duke Hassan’s wedding, I am said to have “dragged the Mortimer name into the mud of disrepute” with my “salacious display.”
PrudenceAs such, my brother will no longer tolerate my presence beneath his roof.
PrudenceI wonder now…has everyone always been laughing at me?
PrudenceHave I always been the joke?
PrudenceNo matter. I can offer you a budget of 500 for this commission—
YouDo you really want to leave?
PrudenceFor goodness’ sake, Dressmaker! Are you trying to make this more difficult?
PrudenceTwillford is all I know. I will be leaving my home, my friends, my nieces — all of it.
PrudenceIt cannot be helped. I will lose everything.

If you have 5 friendship stars or more with Prudence:

PrudenceEven you, who I cherish as my most trusted friend.
PrudenceEven…even Priya…
Prudence…………
YouShe was looking for you.
Prudence………………………
PrudenceWell, she found me.
PrudenceThe night of the stargazing event, we happened upon one another at the summit of the hill above the orchard.
PrudenceShe declared that we needed to talk. And so we did, and I explained my circumstances. She listened most patiently.
PrudenceHowever, once I was finished, she pronounced me ‘an utter fool.’
PrudenceThis was, it must be said, rude and unnecessary. Positively hurtful.
PrudenceAnd then—and then!—she proceeded to say the most ridiculous thing — that I should have pursued her hand in marriage instead of her brother’s.
PrudenceI confess, I laughed in her face.
PrudenceShe said it most seriously.
YouIs it so ridiculous? Do you not prefer her?
PrudenceDressmaker, I would likely prefer a handsomely carved pumpkin to Duke Hassan.
YouYou are avoiding the question.
PrudenceAnd you are overstepping.
PrudenceWhat, will you wring a confession from me? Am I not enough of a joke already?
PrudenceVery well, so be it!
PrudenceI think of Priya constantly. She is maddening, she is impossible, I cannot have her, and I want no one else.
PrudenceNow I will leave Twillford and never see her again. What do my feelings matter? The world has no place for them.
PrudenceShe painted me a dream, and it will never exist. I love her — is that confession enough for you?
Prudence……………
Prudence…do not look at me that way.
YouYou must talk to Priya. She’ll help you.
PrudenceNo.
PrudenceIf I must lose everything else, I would like to save the remainder of my dignity.
PrudenceI cannot live on painted dreams.
PrudenceI will require a dress for my journey. It should be warm, simple, professional workwear. I do not have the funds for anything extravagant, but I can offer you 500 for this commission.
PrudencePlease, Dressmaker.
YouAccept Commission

If the dress passes

PrudenceYes, this is suitable. Thank you.
PrudenceThis will doubtless be our final farewell, and I—

Painted Dream

When the commission arrives

PrudenceGreetings, Dressmaker.
Prudence…it would appear my circumstances have changed.

You pick one answer:

  • YouPrudy!
    PrudenceOnly Priya gets to call me that.
  • YouI would propose attributing this development to my dressmaking skills.
    PrudenceNonsense. The last time I checked you were not a magician, and so you cannot claim to grant wishes.
  • YouI always suspected that they might. My congratulations.
    PrudenceYou do seem a bit of an optimist.
    YouI prefer the term 'romantic.'
PrudenceIt has certainly been a season of surprises. Many of them unpleasant, but…not this last one.
PrudenceI confess, I am surprised to find myself so perfectly happy.
YouIt suits you.
PrudenceI expect it does. The Duke has offered a lovely cottage to house my nieces, and they are moving out of the Mortimer estate this week.
PrudenceMy brother will be left to fend for himself. I suspect it will prove a most rude awakening for him.
PrudenceYou know, it is the strangest thing to think of the future without feeling trapped. More than that, to feel eagerness.
YouBecause of Priya?
PrudenceWhy, did you know that she is also very rich? It is a rather novel concept to be sure, but she is ‘independently wealthy.’
PrudenceI had no idea that people paid so much money for paintings.
YouReally, Prudence?
PrudenceFine, fine. You already know how I feel about her.
PrudenceEven now, I can scarcely believe any of this is possible. It makes me quite giddy, in fact.
PrudenceAnd yet, I cannot conceive of a life without Priya either. It would be like imagining living without sunrises. Without the flowers or the spring.
PrudenceShe seems to me a concentration of everything beautiful and good in the world. I believe, Dressmaker, that we shall be very happy together.
PrudenceNo, in fact — I will make it so.
PrudenceBut first, I will, of course, require a dress from you. Hah, to think of it! A wedding dress for me, after all!
PrudenceI should like it to reflect my hopes for the wedding: for it to be bold and joyous. It must be elaborate, formal, and romantic, and it must have flowers for Priya. I can offer 3000.
YouAccept Commission

If the dress passes

PrudenceOh, how wonderful. This is MY dress, exactly as I wanted it.
PrudenceI love it with my whole heart, and I cannot wait for Priya to see it too.
PrudenceOh, and I almost forgot: you are invited to the ceremony, Dressmaker! It seems only fitting, after so many…fittings.
PrudenceAnd of course, Priya is rather fond of you.
YouI would not miss it for the world.
PrudenceYou will come? Oh! Oh, I’m so glad!
PrudenceThank you, Dressmaker! We will see you at our wedding.

If the dress fails

Prudence…
PrudenceI don't think Priya will marry me, after all.
YouNo! That's unacceptable. I will make this right.

Prudence‘What is up?’
YouThe ceiling?
PrudenceYes.
PrudenceYes, that does appear to be the case.
PrudenceDressmaker, I suffered a grave insult today.
PrudenceMy niece broke a window during her lacrosse game, and I wished to see to its repair. Naturally, I called upon the services of the Twillford glazier.
PrudenceThis man was most rude to me.
PrudenceAfter I furnished him with the instructions for the repair, I spied him pulling hideous faces to the considerable mirth of his apprentice.
PrudenceI do believe—and this pains me to admit—he may have been imitating my manner.
PrudenceThe crass impudence!
PrudenceAs if I could ever be perceived as haughty.
PrudenceI assured him that I am most popular with the youth, and am seen as an upstanding model of the common woman.
PrudenceBut the villain did not appear to believe me!
PrudenceAnd so, I would like you to make a dress that substantiates my argument.
PrudenceIt must be simple, uncomfortable workwear, and you may only have 250 for this job. That will show him who is ‘out of touch.’
YouAccept Commission

If the dress passes

PrudenceThis is both hideous and perfect. Perfectly hideous, hideously perfect. Ha hah!
PrudenceIt is amazing what can be accomplished with no money.

PrudenceGood afternoon, Dressmaker.
PrudenceIt has been quite the day. I am nearly overcome, I must confess. Quite faint, in fact. A spell of dizziness may—
YouIs this about the chaise lounge again? Please don’t swoon in my shop.
PrudenceIs a little human compassion too much to ask? You have no appreciation of my womanly frailty, Dressmaker. I have needs.
YouYou do not need a chaise lounge.
PrudenceThis is most improper customer service. Hmph.
PrudenceI shall get one in the end.
PrudenceAs I was saying, my nerves are overtaxed. My poor darling niece has contracted some abominable malaise, and developed the most pitiable cough.
PrudenceI will not permit her to leave her bed until she is fully recovered. Rest and soup, that is what she requires.
PrudenceShe may insist that she is well, but I will not be fooled. Her protestations are but a brave front that she musters for my sake alone.
PrudencePrecious, foolish girl. I wish to cheer her up during her convalescence, so that she might feel better sooner. I know she would love a new dress!
PrudenceAs it so happens, our measurements are identical. The Mortimer physique always runs true.
PrudenceCould you create a girlish dress for her that is cute, playful, and patterned? She is exceedingly fond of ribbons, so please include those in your design. I believe 500 will suffice for this commission.
