Daughter of Twin Oaks
“Louisa stuck her head into the sewing room. No one there, but she could tell they’d been busy sewing the wedding finery. Laces and ivory satin pieces draped the chair and hung over the three-paneled screen. A bodice fit perfectly on the dress form with a swath of lace pinned to one shoulder. Bits of thread and scraps of fabric littered the floor like the leaves that were falling from the trees in the yard.
She carefully shut the door and walked down the hall to her aunt’s room. As usual the doo...r was closed. She tapped once and waited. Nothing. Turning the handle gently in case her aunt was napping, she pushed the door open enough to peek in. The bed was made up with every pillow and bolster in place.
She pushed the door open a bit more and scanned the remainder of the room. Everything appeared neatly in place, including her aunt’s wire-rimmed glasses sitting atop her Bible that lay in its usual place on the whatnot table beside the rocking chair.
She closed the door again and went into her own room to hang up her shawl and wash her hands.MoreLess
