Greer made a few more notes on the sketch about the color change and the veil, and tucked it aside. "Thank you," she smiled softly at Miss Farley. She wasn't very good accepting condolences or compliments so kept it simple.

"Oh," of course she would assume that. "No, my sister and will be finding a new place." Greer assured her. "It's been the plan all along, we just needed to get back on our feet." She hurried on to explain, hoping that nobody assumed they were being kicked out. "You'll want to enjoy the house without the lot of us." Miss Farley would still have Noble, Clementine and Grace to contend with, but that made sense, unmarried sisters were still the obligation of the oldest brother.

Without having touched any tea herself, Greer stood from behind her small desk. "Come, let's look at some fabrics." This was the fun part. She motioned for the ladies to join her and stepped out onto the shop floor where all of the display fabrics were available. "Over here might be a good place to start." They shop was loosely organized by color, sometimes by fabric type, but most of the nicer, wedding fabrics were near the window. "See anything you like?" She gestured for Miss Farley to take a look while she moved to pull the previously mentioned lace from its shelf.
