please keep in mind that ‘Beauty and the Beast’ is a fairy tale. You do know the tale of the Beauty and the Beast?” “Of course,” Hattie said. “You are still speaking in riddles.” “The Beast traps the Beauty,” Lucie said, and sat down behind the desk, a fountain pen in hand. “In the end, Beauty saves the Beast— and herself—thanks to her gentle nature, self-sacrifice, and loving heart—so loving, she becomes smitten with an ugly, probably smelly monster that wanted to murder her father and kept her imprisoned.”
