Lost Lords 6 - Not Quite a Wife
“Time to find Violet, so she headed across the garden to Zion House. She found the girl in a corner of the common room demonstrating an elaborate formal hairstyle on one of her four students.

Laurel had bought the garment for her from a rag dealer, and the skill with which Violet had remade it was testimony to her ability as a lady’s maid.
Laurel asked, “How are your students doing?”
“Very well. They’re all keen to better themselves.” Violet regarded the girls fondly. They were all neatly dressed in an echo of their teacher. “It was clever of you to buy all those old clothes from the rag shop so they can practice dressing each other.”
“Those clothes also present myriad opportunities to practice mending!” Laurel studied Violet’s expression.
