INHALT

In this variation on Cinderella, Margarethe Fisher Van Den Meer is a former lady of means who had to accept a position as housekeeper, but manages to spike her Master Schoenmacker's drink and marry him. Alas, his shipment of priceless tulips turns worthless overnight, so their last chance is for one of the three daughters (Margarethe has two, Ruth and Iris, and her husband has one, Clara) to make a good marriage. When the Dowager Queen Maria de Medici throws a grand ball for her son the Prince, both Clara and Iris--who is in love with Casper after sitting as a model for his painter master--make a good impression.
