A Princess for Christmas Page #6

And I am currently unemployed,

but I hope for not too long,

because I really like working.

I may not know much

about parenting,

but I know we don't need

money to make us happy.

But we do need each other.

Those are brave kids.

They deserve a chance at a family.

And as inconceivable as that may seem, Arabella,

that's the only reason we're here.

Ashton, you don't

honestly believe her.

Yes, I do.

- Edward, surely you can see that she's ...

- So who cares?

You say Jules is a bad mother.

I've been a lousy father.

And an even worse father-in-law.

So Jules lost a job. You have never

worked a single day in your life.

And if you ask me, Lady Arabella

Marchand de Belmont,

you're the one who is all

fur coat and no nickels.

That's it, we're leaving!

Come on, Thomas!

Thank you, Father.

No, thank you,

for putting up with an old fool.

Now if I might give you

a bit of fatherly advice?

Don't let that girl get away.

- May I speak to your aunt Jules for a second?

- Yeah, sure.

I know we don't have hot wings

or hockey in Castlebury,

but we do have

crumpets and cricket.

Is it possible that you, Milo and Maddie

might consider extending your stay?

Here at Castlebury Hall?

- Beautiful gown Jules is wearing.

- Yes, sir.

- Lovely!

- Excellent taste.

I wonder where she obtained it?

I suppose, if you wished

to be reimbursed,

you should produce

a receipt for me by morning.

Go on, back to work.

- Thank you, sir.

- You're a good man, Paisley.

Must be time!

Children!

Santa!

See, Maddie? I was wrong.

There is a Santa Claus.

Come on, children!

Hi, Santa!

- Look at all these presents!

- Look at that huge gold one!

Where did all

these presents come from?

- Edward, you're amazing.

- No, my dear, you're the one that's amazing.

- What is it, Father?

- I just wished Charles... I wish he were here.

But he is. Can't you see him

in the jewelry of Milo's eyes?

In the sparkle of Maddie's smile?

Charles is here.

And so is my sister.

You're so right, my dear.

Ashton, this is a very very wise girl.

We should not be lamenting what we have lost,

rather celebrating what we have found.

Merry Christmas!

- Look!

- Fireworks!

Come on, you gotta see this!

Merry Christmas!

Jules, Ashton, bravo!

- Hello, my prince!

- Hello, my princess!

- Sounds like we're in line for a throne somewhere.

- As a matter of fact, we are.

No?

Really?

Drive on!

It is true not all tales

have happy endings,

but then for Jules Daly,

the dreamer from Buffalo,

the story is just beginning.
