Answer:
D. "The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels."
Explanation:
The story quoted is probably "Princess and the Pea," a fairytale written by Hans Christian Andersen.
The story is about a prince who is seeking a real princess. One day, a girl arrived at the castle during a heavy thunderstorm, saying that she is a princess and seeking to stay at his castle for shelter. His mother put a pea under a mountain of mattresses, and if she can feel this pea, she is indeed a princess. The next morning, the girl said how she was bothered with something hard during her slumber - which was the pea, marking her as a real princess.
Thus, from this short summary of the story, a quotation that would support the the theme mentioned in the question is (D), since the girl, when she arrived, did not look like a princess at all.
