1
00:00:08,667 --> 00:00:13,403
Vinnie was tired from unloading so many flowers.

2
00:00:13,404 --> 00:00:19,507
As he rested in the empty wagon, he saw a side door of the palace open.

3
00:00:19,508 --> 00:00:23,638
A bearded man in dark clothes stepped out.

4
00:00:23,639 --> 00:00:26,535
He was speaking with another man.

5
00:00:26,536 --> 00:00:30,646
Vinnie sank down in the wagon, hiding.

6
00:00:30,647 --> 00:00:36,854
"Rasputin, the Russian people are angry," said the bearded man's companion.

7
00:00:36,855 --> 00:00:40,298
"They want the czar to pay attention to them!"

8
00:00:40,299 --> 00:00:43,014
"I agree," said Rasputin.

9
00:00:43,015 --> 00:00:45,713
"But what can I do?"

10
00:00:45,714 --> 00:00:50,978
"The people are desperate," the other man said sadly.

11
00:00:50,979 --> 00:00:55,779
"I'm afraid they will rise up and hurt the royal family."

12
00:00:55,780 --> 00:01:00,782
The men walked away, and Vinnie got out of the wagon.

13
00:01:00,783 --> 00:01:02,487
"Who is Rasputin?"

14
00:01:02,488 --> 00:01:06,633
Vinnie wondered, heading back into the palace.

15
00:01:06,634 --> 00:01:12,338
Inside, Anastasia was telling Mandy about her older sisters.

16
00:01:12,339 --> 00:01:15,783
"They're so annoying, really.

17
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:19,710
All they care about is their powder and lipstick.

18
00:01:19,711 --> 00:01:23,895
I think they look like clowns," she said.

19
00:01:23,896 --> 00:01:26,568
"Do you have any sisters?"

20
00:01:26,569 --> 00:01:30,972
"No, only a brother," Mandy replied.

21
00:01:30,973 --> 00:01:33,950
Suddenly, she missed Vinnie.

22
00:01:33,951 --> 00:01:39,575
"I have a brother too. Alexei," Anastasia's voice softened.

23
00:01:39,576 --> 00:01:41,337
"He's a joy.

24
00:01:41,338 --> 00:01:44,127
Have you seen our piano room?"

25
00:01:44,128 --> 00:01:47,362
"No, but Miss Pavlova . . . ,"

26
00:01:47,363 --> 00:01:50,758
Mandy began, holding the ruffle.

27
00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:55,771
Anastasia took the ruffle and stopped a servant passing by.

28
00:01:55,772 --> 00:01:58,777
"Take this to Miss Pavlova.

29
00:01:58,778 --> 00:02:03,163
Tell her I needed Mandy's assistance," she said.

30
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:07,135
Anastasia linked her arm through Mandy's.

31
00:02:07,136 --> 00:02:10,406
"Now, for the piano room!"

32
00:02:10,407 --> 00:02:17,279
Meanwhile, Vinnie had found Mikhail in the kitchen drinking a glass of water.

33
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,787
"What are these flowers for again?" asked Vinnie.

34
00:02:21,788 --> 00:02:26,311
"Today the royal family will receive another Fabergé egg.

35
00:02:26,312 --> 00:02:30,593
They get one every Easter," explained Mikhail.

36
00:02:30,594 --> 00:02:35,037
"The czar has a big feast to celebrate the new egg."

37
00:02:35,038 --> 00:02:40,340
"What's so great about an egg?" asked Vinnie.

38
00:02:40,341 --> 00:02:46,188
"This is not an ordinary egg," laughed Mikhail.

39
00:02:46,189 --> 00:02:49,469
"It is a work of art made of jewels and gold.

40
00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:52,149
You have to see it to believe it."

41
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:58,754
At that moment, Anastasia was showing Mandy a cabinet filled with Fabergé eggs.

42
00:02:58,755 --> 00:03:03,437
Each egg was decorated according to a different theme.

43
00:03:03,438 --> 00:03:05,638
"This egg was special,"

44
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:12,250
Anastasia said, pointing to a gold egg with a miniature golden carriage beside it.

45
00:03:12,251 --> 00:03:16,916
"My father gave this to my mother in 1897.

46
00:03:16,917 --> 00:03:21,148
That was the year he became the czar of Russia."

47
00:03:21,149 --> 00:03:24,122
Mandy was fascinated.

48
00:03:24,123 --> 00:03:27,067
She looked at some other eggs.

49
00:03:27,068 --> 00:03:32,633
One had a crown on top that was covered in rubies and diamonds.

50
00:03:32,634 --> 00:03:37,208
"Turn the pearl button on the side," ordered Anastasia.

51
00:03:37,209 --> 00:03:39,370
Mandy obeyed.

52
00:03:39,371 --> 00:03:44,606
The crown rose and three small picture frames popped out.

53
00:03:44,607 --> 00:03:51,849
"Here's Papa, and Olga and Tatiana, my two eldest sisters," explained Anastasia.

54
00:03:51,850 --> 00:03:57,712
"So each egg has a surprise in it," remarked Mandy.

55
00:03:57,713 --> 00:04:00,375
Anastasia nodded.

56
00:04:00,376 --> 00:04:03,626
"We are getting a new egg today!"

57
00:04:03,627 --> 00:04:08,881
Suddenly, Mandy remembered the egg-shaped object in the photo.

58
00:04:08,882 --> 00:04:17,586
"I must be in the right place," she thought.
