Higher they dared not go, though one old lady, acquainted with English history, hazarded the remark, that 'she believed that one or two of the Stuarts hem had not always been, ahem quite correct in their conduct; and she fancied such ahem things ran in families. But, in popular opinion, Mr. Gibson's father always remained a duke; nothing more.
This was the freshest end of this breadth, and should go down; this other had a darn that might be cut across, and a straight piecing made, for which the slope of the skirt would allow, she should do it so; that hem might be taken off altogether and a new one turned; this was a very nice trimming, and plenty of it, and the wrong side was brighter than the right; she knew a way of joining worsted braid that never showed, you might have a dozen pieces in the binding of a skirt and not be noticed.
"It was green with pink posies on it, too, and it was flounced from the waist to the hem. We didn't wear the skimpy things girls wear nowadays.
