Turns out, Mary Alice was over-worked and was very bad at her job. She had a lot, and a lot, and a LOT of jobs. Until one day, when Mary Alice was ironing the newspaper when the bell rang. This mean’t Lord Bantam needed something. “What are you waiting for? GO!” Lord Bantam’s mother called out. Mary accidentally left the iron on, which burned a hole in the news. She hurried to the library, where she found Lord Bantam looking out a window. Turns out, Lord Bantam pressed the bell by accident. While they were there, Lord Bantam mentioned his ability to “juggle”. But Mary pointed out you need more than one thing to juggle, and juggling with one thing is tossing. Lord Bantam agreed. Meanwhile, Mary was dusting the library, when you knocked down a globe, broke a painting, and broke a limb off a statue. Obviously she wasn't very good at her job. Then, she had an idea! To open a circus! It could make more funds for Fount. Abbey, and it could show off Lord Bantam tricks. He liked the idea. Then, Countess Bantam, his mother, told her to get out. | Turns out, Mary Alice was over-worked and was very bad at her job. She had a lot, and a lot, and a LOT of jobs.

One of the staff members, O'Brien gives Mary a pair a earrings as a gift. That night, Mary Alice finished the blueprint. The next day, she was going to turn it in when the Countess noticed the earrings. Turns out they belonged to her and Mary is fired on the spot. She didn't want too leave, but she had to listen to the royalty. Before she left, she dropped those blueprints. Lord Bantam wanted her back. He made her Business Manager, and the circus was a success. Much to O'Brien's charden. | ||
Without Mary Alice, Fountain Abbey wouldn't have been so successful. And that was the end of her diary. Muffy was still curious about her life, though. So, she started researching. Then, she found out, that Mary Alice moved to America! She was now wealthy from the circus and was living the dream. And that, my friends, and is the story of Mary Alice, who went from rags to riches! | Without Mary Alice, Fountain Abbey wouldn't have been so successful. And that was the end of her diary.
