Sophie is reunited with her friends Camille and Madeleine and their mother. She is given a warm welcome. Fedora makes everybody laugh at her expense by tripping her and making her fall on her backside. This cruel stepmother is sometimes more ridiculous than she is nasty! Whilst playing in the garden, Sophie clumsily steps on some flowers that Camille was carefully growing for her mother's birthday. Luckily, Mrs de Rosbourg fixes it quickly by having some beautiful flowers planted. Camille and Madeleine love the new flowers. Sophie is happy to think that at least she can go to Fleurville regularly to escap from her nasty stepmother.
