The evil step-mother was looking right at Lilith, and did no recognize her.  She had never seen her not covered in dirt, nor all cleaned up and dressed nicely.  It did not matter though.  Whoever she was, she was beautiful and well dressed.  She was a threat.  Nadia looked over to where her daughters were trying to entertain the fancy of the young Rothschild heir, to see if Lucy had noticed the newcomer.  She had.  She was staring right at her, as was most of the room.<br/><br/>Lucy, for her part, had mostly forgotten about the rest of the room.  A vision of loveliness had just walked in, dressed to the nines.  She did not know who she was, but she wanted to know.  Completely ignoring the twins, she stood and crossed the room.  Holding out a hand, she said, "Hello there.  I'm Lucy.  And you are?"  She had not quite heard the girl being announced, but she certainly was aware of her presence now.
