Wealthy and arrogant Madeline Dodge is doing everything possible to get Penny to come to her Thursday night party, but Penny has consistently refused to accept the invitation. Late yesterday, Madeline talked to Penny on the phone and pleaded with her to change her mind, and now the afternoon of the next day, the doorbell rings. It's Nora, and she's excited to hear that Penny has changed her mind and is going to attend the party!
