If the Millars were ruined, they were not likely to go to many more garden-parties, and though the sisters might still want frocks, yet frocks of Tussore silk trimmed with Torchon lace granted that the materials had appeared a modest and becoming wear for a doctor's daughters an hour before might not be quite an appropriate selection in the family's altered circumstances.

And there were daffodil shoes and stockings, a plume fan in a hat-box on her knee, and a lovely trained white underskirt with billowy frills of torchon, the very sight of which made Meg wild to be grown up. But none of these things were to be donned for many an hour yet.
"Yes, please," she said, struggling to remember what it was. "Some er lace torchon for my sister; that is what I came for." "This way," said Peter gently; and they walked down the long, narrow shop together, closely scrutinised by the young women behind the counters.
