Transcript
On a cobbled street lined with shops, Ellie faces the crowned Duchess and gestures as they talk; a girl in denim overalls watches nearby, and a woman in a broad-brimmed purple hat stands with her arms crossed. Ellie: “Well... someone had to do it I suppose.” Duchess: “I see you’ve been chosen to get me re-acquainted with my darling little duchy.”
