Thinking of the Warner Bros. movie "A Little Princess" (from the
director now working on the next Harry Potter movie btw) -- the wicked and
embittered headmistress Miss Michon says something like this to the beautiful and
exuberant Sara, who is in rags but undiminished. Sara retorts, "Yes, I do think
I'm a princess. I know I am! We all are princesses, didn't YOUR father ever tell
you that??"

Great scene. Great Power of Story. :) JJ
