The Frumpy Fairy Godmother watches with a raised brow as the wagonload of "ladies" draws near. Before it comes to a complete halt, she flicks her wand and a shimmer covers the area around the wagon. The women inside squeal and jump around as they are deloused, degermed, and dediseased. The shimmer fades to be replaced by another one which slowly reveals several tubs of hot water for bathing, along with a stack of new dresses.
As the "ladies" leap out for their baths, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother steps inside and admires the tree. Again, there is a small flick of her wand and glittering sawdust swirls around the tree to fall gently on its branches. When the sawdust settles, it takes on a shimmering glow, giving a pale light to the tree.
Smiling, she takes up her chair near the fire.
