Work Overview
Scarlett and Charlie are a married couple, slowly drifting
further apart.
Their housemaid, Grace, sees the discord of her employers and
bestows a dream upon them both, that reignites their love.
A consequence of granting these wishes is that Grace cannot give
herself freedom from her role as housemaid. Grace dreams of the
day when she will finally be "Queen Grace, magnum to all."
