But of course, as a bride, you will have oceans of lovely things. I adore trousseaux. Perhaps you will show me some of your pretties?" "Oh, with pleasure." Desire's assent was instant and warm. "I shall love to let you see my things." It was risky but effective. Mary's desire to see the trousseau evaporated on the instant. No girl would be so eager to show things which were not worth showing.
"So's mine. And look here, T. A.! We can't both leave this place for a fitting. It's absurd. If this keeps on, it will break up the business. We'll have to get married one at a time or, at least, get our trousseaux one at a time. What's your suit?" "Sort of brown." "Brown? So's mine! Good heavens, T. A., we'll look like a minstrel troupe!" Buck sighed resignedly.
These trousseaux and corbeilles are placed in a salon, and are exhibited to the friends the two or three days previously to the wedding; and the view of them often sends young maidens ay, and elderly ones, too away with an anxious desire to enter that holy state which ensures so many treasures.
H. had hardly time to bring up the champagne before we could bear the men clattering down the stairs from their rooms. Their luggage was quickly packed a change of underclothes and a second pair of shoes composed their trousseaux and Julie came hurrying forward with bread, sausages and chocolate! "Put this into your bags," she said.
Marie, who could not live without occupation for her fingers, had just returned to some embroidery, some of the fine needlework which she stubbornly executed for a large establishment dealing in baby-linen and bridal /trousseaux/; for she wished at any rate to earn her own pocket-money, she often said with a laugh.
In others, love, or what with them goes by the name, is equally inseparable from management and match-making, trousseaux and settlements, concerns pertaining to earth, and very earthy, it must be admitted.
Indeed I was glad that Lady M had made the request, as the trouble and chattering and happy faces which were surrounding the trousseaux, and the constant employment and appeals made to me, drove away the melancholy which Lady R 's affairs had occasioned me.
There were, indeed, ranged along the walls about fifteen of those wooden cases painted and carved, of those 'cassoni' in which it was the fashion, in grand Italian families, to keep the trousseaux destined for the brides. Those of the Castagnas proved, by their escutcheons, what alliances the last of the grand-nephews of Urban VII, the actual Prince d'Ardea, entered into.
"Here Hulda turned to me and said: 'our mothers encourage us at eight years of age to begin to make garments for our trousseaux, and at the age of ten we start to crochet lace and embroider, so by the time we get married we have all our things ready, for they cannot be bought ready-made in Palestine. When we become betrothed we work our future initials on our things and make our dresses.
"Yes, with your taste, I grant," replied Lady M . "Are you aware that we go to town in a fortnight? We must look after the trousseaux. It was arranged last night that both marriages shall take place in February. Amy will, of course be one of the brides'-maids, and I trust to you, my dear Mademoiselle de Chatenoeuf, to invent something very distingue for her on that occasion.
