In this short scene, we are introduced to the young Nell, who has just returned from her first night of training at the law school. She is very excited to learn that she has been chosen to be one of the students at the school for the upcoming academic year. Nell is also very excited because she has just learned that she is to be the first female cadet in the school's history. The scene opens with Nell's mother scolding Nell for her behavior in the previous evening's performance of the song "Wingle." Nell, however, is not concerned with her mother's criticism; she is more concerned with the fact that she will be the one to perform the song for the rest of the school year.
