That book had to be written first. Poor Annie could not enjoy her romance to the full because of over-work. The girl lost flesh and Margaret knew why. Preparing one's trousseau, living in a love affair, and writing a book, are rather strenuous, when undertaken at the same time. It was February when Annie and Von Rosen were married and the wedding was very quiet.
"Then the will the money is left to Sylvia," he said with obstinacy. "I shall defend her rights." "Of course," said Mrs. Krill, significantly. "I understand that a wife with five thousand " "I would marry Sylvia without a penny." "Indeed, sir, that is the only way in which you can marry her. If you like I shall allow her twenty pounds for a trousseau." Paul rose and flung back his head again.
There is, I think, no more beautiful sight than that of a mother, still in all the glory of womanhood, preparing the wedding trousseau for her daughter. The child hitherto has been obedient and submissive. She has been one of a household in which she has held no command. She has sat at table as a child, fitting herself in all things to the behests of others.
I had hoped to get a few minutes Sunday afternoon to myself so I could go up into the garret and look through one of the trunks I brought from Paris with me to see how many sets of things I have got left. I am going to need a trousseau pretty soon, and I might need it more suddenly than I expect.
Miss Larrabee was authority for the statement that Maybelle had used five hundred yards of baby-ribbon pink and blue and white and yellow in her trousseau, and that she was bestowing the same passionate fervour on her hemstitching and tucking that she had wasted on literature; that she was helping papa and mamma by shouldering the biggest wedding on them since the Tomlinsons went into bankruptcy after their firework ceremonial.
I am thinking of going to the Marshal of Nobility to lodge a complaint. Would you believe it, he has more than once broken open the trunks and . . . taken Manetchka's trousseau and given it to beggars. He has taken everything out of two of the trunks! If he goes on like this, my Manetchka will be left without a trousseau at all." "What are you saying, mamam?" said Manetchka, embarrassed.
Quentin our New York friend, you will remember made us a brief call this morning. He is quite undecided as to the length of his stay here, but I hope you will be here to see him." Then, dismissing Quentin from her mind, she sat down to dream of the one great event in her life this wonderful, glorious wedding in old St. Gudule's. Already her trousseau was on a fair way to completion.
"Aggie," remarked the coming bride, "Barbara's face flushed up ever so pink when I said to her that she seemed to know exactly what a trousseau ought to be. I wonder! She is well-bred enough to have been anybody; and the Bishop of Adelaide recommended her, you know."
They suit each other. Who should suit the poor Hungarian officer better than the poor daughter of a Turkish officer? Nothing more natural. She studied day and night, and when she had finished with the catechism and the psalter, they found a new trick to play upon her. They said the wedding-day was fixed, but there was still much to be done to the trousseau.
Jack's mother is on board, and is really devoted to me. I am a lucky girl to have such a sweet mother-in-law in prospective. She is the dearest old lady in the world. The wedding has been decided upon for the last week in September, so I suppose that I shall have to come back to town before very long to see about my trousseau.
