- launch
- herself
- into
- the
- world.Poppet

- Blaze
- Brocklehurst
- and
- Striker
- Earhart.

- of
- high
- jinks
- a
- la

- much
- thought
- to
- their
- future.
- They're
- rich,
- so
- who
- cares!

- loaded,
- Felix
- Hayes
- Burlington
- across

- is
- not
- entirely
- sure
- it's
- what

- really
- wants.
- Isn't
- there
- more
- to
- life
- than
- charity
- lunches
- and
- yoga?
- Is
- Poppet
- destined
- for
- a
- life
- of
- designer
- grunge
- and
- decadence
- without
- lifting
- a
- finger
- to
- earn
- her
- own
- living,
- or
- is
- she
- brave
- enough
- to
- break
- out
- of
- the mould?
