Slightly arrogant and carefree as the title indicates, the main character of this serialized story is a laundress who works her way up through society. Seen here regally adorned with an ermine-fringed red robe and yellow dress against a blue background, it's no wonder that she might be a little cocky; from her humble beginnings she is now speaking with Napoleon! Broido 670, DFP-2 247.
