In the evening, Charlotte Cooper was preparing for the commencement ceremony. She wore light make-up and a gold tight-fitting gown which made her look noble and elegant, inviolable.
As expected, the moment she appeared, she attracted the envious glances of the majority.
Lily McKenzie, the innocent-looking actress, was vivaciously and sprightly dressed. Attentively, she listened to the assistant director – her eyes were charming and she smiled sweetly. She truly was a rare beauty.
The reception proceeded as usual. One after another, the guests toasted to Charlotte, who had an impressive capacity for liquor. She generously finished each glass she was offered, leaving a favorable impression of being magnanimous and unpretentious.
Nevertheless, having drunk too much inevitably resulted in some dizziness, which combined with sky-high heels made her wobble. In a moment of carelessness, she bumped into another actress, causing her to fall straight onto the floor.
