After Annette had served mine and Bess's chocolate in Bess's bedroom we settled down to the real seriousness of trousseau talk, which lasted for many long hours.
"It will be here some time to-day," she averred. "The wedding will be delayed but a few hours, after all, and I don't know but that I prefer an evening wedding to a morning one, anyhow." It was almost dark ere the long-looked-for bridal trousseau arrived. Varrick drew a great breath of relief. He welcomed the shadows of night with the greatest joy.
Maggie had returned without a trousseau, without a husband, in that degraded and outcast condition to which error is well known to lead; and the world's wife, with that fine instinct which is given her for the preservation of Society, saw at once that Miss Tulliver's conduct had been of the most aggravated kind. Could anything be more detestable?
He stepped lightly to the window and tapped twice on the pane. "A signal to bring the horses round. If y'u have any preparations to make, any trousseau to prepare, y'u better set that girl of yours to work." "I have no preparations to make." "Coming to me simply as y'u are? Good! We'll lead the simple life." Nora, as it chanced, knocked and entered at his moment.
Besides, it was now considered great fun to go in for charities, she was ever so busy serving on committees, she never had a moment for herself, and it would take months to plan a trousseau and a wedding and decide about her house.
Now, the locksmith never could have so much money, and he had no valuables to pawn. The police came and attached his household goods, everything he had, including his young bride's trousseau; and the sale of the goods brought thirty-five rubles. After a year's time the police came again, looking for the balance of the Czar's dues. They put their seal on everything they found.
Sara was conscious of a distinct shock. "How much?" she asked sharply. "It's it's rather a lot twenty pounds!" "Twenty pounds!" This was certainly a large sum for Molly whose annual dress allowance totaled very little more to be in debt. "What on earth have you been up to? Buying a new trousseau? Where do you owe it Carr & Bishop's?" mentioning the principal draper's shop in Oldhampton. "No.
Harrison to marry him, and made him go to all the expense that he has; and you've told everybody you know, and all the world is talking about your triumph; and you've had Mr. Roberts go to all the trouble he has about your trousseau, surely, Helen, you cannot dream of changing your mind and giving all this up. It is ridiculous to talk about it."
She tells me Eustace is talking of a picnic for to-morrow, but really she ought to give her mind to her trousseau if she is ever to be ready in time. Do you think Eustace can be induced to see reason?" "I don't know," Scott said. He seated himself by Isabel's side and leaned back against the cushions, closing his eyes. "You are tired," she said gently. "Oh, only a little, Isabel!"
Isobel's presents were numerous and of a most useful character, for they took the form of articles of clothing, and her trousseau was a varied and extensive one.
