Added "Spirited Young Lady"
Added DiffLines:
* SpiritedYoungLady: Marguerite moves easily in society, but is also a former performer at La Comedie Francaise who sparkles with wit and enjoys living life to its fullest -- something seen at her wedding reception in "Vivez" and when she infiltrates France in disguise as a tart in "Storybook."

Adds "We Used to be Friends" and "Loving a Shadow"
* LovingAShadow: In "When I Look at You," Marguerite looks at her cooling marriage and wonders if she simply fell in love with her idea of Percy rather than the real thing:
--> Did I create a dream?
--> Was he a fantasy?
--> Even a memory is paradise for all the fools like me.
** Shortly after, in a CallBack, Percy reprises the song to show that his thoughts are running in the same course -- his fear that he fell for a dream that he can never have.
