"Why do you have to be so rude? Can't get pearls from a swine," Madeline said, arms crossed, looking down on Regina as if marrying into the Harris family had elevated her to a different social plane altogether.
Regina let out a light chuckle, "That kind of narrow-mindedness is typical of a country bumpkin like you."
Madeline's face flushed red with anger. She loathed being called a country bumpkin, especially by someone like Regina.
"Who are you calling a bumpkin?"
"I'm just telling it like it is. Aren't you a little bit of a hick? All rustic and unsophisticated."
"You? You!" Madeline was beside herself with fury. "For your information, I am the trendsetter at school. Even the Redwood family heiress asks for my advice when she goes shopping.
You're the real country bumpkin here. Look at yourself, all dressed up with nowhere to go, thinking you're fashion-forward. And you have the nerve to call me unsophisticated?"
Madeline was sputtering with rage, but the more she lost her cool, the more composed Regina appeared.
"Well, that just proves the Redwood girl doesn't know chic from shabby if she's coming to you for fashion tips."
Regina, standing a good deal taller, made even the simplest outfit look chic. The sun backlighting her at the doorway accentuated her slender figure, which only added to Madeline's envy.
"One more word, and I swear I'll get Dad to settle this! You've been nothing but trouble since you got back, turning this house upside down. He's bound to give you an earful."
