Irene’s mother, the dressmaker, has fallen ill and she can not bring the duchess her new dress for tonight’s ball. Irene takes it upon herself to brave a ferocious windy storm and deliver the dress herself. The wind takes on a personality of it’s own and torments Irene till the very end. At one point Irene even considers what the point in living even is.
