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 gown, it is no wonder that she might be a little conceited; from her humble beginnings, she is now consorting with Napoleon himself!
