Quote #10
Ani took down the pale lake green dress that had been dyed to match her eyes, held it to her chest, and looked at the long mirror. She thought, I look like a goose girl holding up a fancy dress. (18.115)
Getting her dress from Selia's closet, Ani remembers what it's like to be royal again. Since no one recognized her when she was a lowly goose girl, she's got to dress the part if she wants to convince everyone she's a princess—so yet again, we're asked to think about whether being royal is only about what you wear and how you talk, and nothing else.
