Moon, Mrs. Tate Buzzie isn't the brainiest person in the world, but one of the funniest Mrs. Tazewell, Mrs. Burnham I like that young woman, she's got sense Miss Matoaca Brockenborough, Miss Mittie Muncaster, and Miss Amelia Taylor. I'm the fourth spinster. For a place the size of Yorkburg that's an excellent group of women, though they don't speak French or wear Parisian clothes.
Her eyes hung blissfully on his face for an instant, and then, moved by a sudden stab of reproach, she leaned from the window and looked back at her mother and father, who stood, with clasped hands, gazing after her over the white palings of the gate. MATOACA CITY, West Virginia, October 16, 1884.
Sometimes she would remember, stifling the pang it caused, the nights when he had written his first plays in Matoaca City, and that he had made her sit beside him with her sewing because he could not think if she were out of the room.
Anyway, I go out every day now with the baby. Thank you so much for the little bands. They are just what I wanted. With dearest love, Your devoted VIRGINIA. MATOACA CITY. June 10, 1886. DEAREST MOTHER: Daisy left a week ago and we couldn't find another servant until to-day. I must say that I prefer coloured servants. They are so much more dependable.
"Thank you," responded Oliver, and tried from the bottom of his soul to make the words sincere. "If the time ever comes when you feel that you have changed your mind, I'll find a place out at Matoaca City for you. I just wanted you to understand that I'd do as much for Henry's son then as now.

Poor fellow, he did so hate the work out at Matoaca City, though I must say he was very faithful and persevering about it." "You've taken that little house in Prince Street for them, where old Miss Franklin used to live, haven't you? The last time I saw you, you hadn't quite decided about it." "I couldn't resist it because it is only three squares from the rectory. Mr.

Your devoted daughter, VIRGINIA. MATOACA CITY. August 29, 1885. MY PRECIOUS MOTHER: This is the first time I have sat up in bed, and I am trying to write a little note to you on a pillow instead of a desk.
The trouble with Mary is she doesn't want to. There are my girls. You don't catch them encouraging attentions they don't want." Mrs. Moon's foot pressed Mrs. Corbin's. Miss Matoaca Brockenborough's elbow nudged Mrs. Tazewell, but no one spoke, and Mrs.
What's the funny part, though, is that Lucy has always tried to persuade herself it was really Matoaca I cared for. You know, I sometimes think that a woman can convince herself that black is white if she only keeps trying hard enough and it's marvellous that she never sees the difference between wanting to believe a thing and believing it in earnest.
Matoaca was almost as great a belle as Lucy, and she was the handsomest creature you ever laid eyes on one of those big, managing women who are forever improving things around them. Why, I don't believe she could stay two seconds in a man's arms without improving the set of his cravat.
