34. Sheesch!

1. The little girl is probably around 3. My take would be that she is attracted to the picture on the cover and sees it as a 'Princess'.

2. Of course it could be 'her favorite book'. Not for the story, obviously but for the picture on the cover.

3. The Woman in White is the picture (drawing) on the cover, not the story inside.

All that is irrelevant to the issue at hand. A little girl sees someone who she perceives as a 'Princess' and is enthralled. The bride, on her wedding day no less, stops what she is doing to engage the little girl and 'make her day'.

Lighten up.

Agreed oberliner Jun 2017 #40
maybe she just likes the picture or recognizes the pic from the book her mother reads JI7 Jun 2017 #33
But that's not what the headline says oberliner Jun 2017 #41
it has princess in quotes in the story . so the mother probably just tells the girl JI7 Jun 2017 #42
The headline does not put princess in quotes. oberliner Jun 2017 #64
Sheesch! Stonepounder Jun 2017 #34
But the headline says that the girl thinks the bride is "the princess from her favorite book" oberliner Jun 2017 #43
Doesn't matter what the book is actually about--that's an adult's concern. BlancheSplanchnik Jun 2017 #53

Spot on. Also, the headline is derived from the groom's own words: demmiblue Jun 2017 #52
There's no princess in that book though oberliner Jun 2017 #72
"the little girl must love staring at the picture because she thinks that woman is a princess." oberliner Jun 2017 #71
it's reasonable to think that's what some kids as young as her might think JI7 Jun 2017 #75
