Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

Flicker to the Future
#1
August 4th, 1895 - Pennyworth

The last few days had been such a flurry of unfortunate activity, that Daff felt like the spinning would never stop. The whole thing was so utterly heartbreaking. Daff had always held out hope that Zinnia and Rhys would work things out and find some joy in their marriage. Now it was all a wreck of heartache and uncertainty. She and her sisters had obviously attended to Zinnia first, making sure she and Emery were taken care of in the wake of her brother-in-law's untimely death. There were a lot of things to figure out, that she was sure her mother would wind up handling and so Daff had to take into consideration someone else who was largely impacted by the loss.

There really wasn't much she could actively do for him, but she wanted to at least check in. Daff was just thankful, selfishly and privately, that it hadn't been Jack. He'd been a part of her life longer than he hadn't at this point. Of course she had a certain fondness for her brother-in-law, largely for how well he treated Zinnia in the wake of their debacle, and for how good of a father he'd been, but life without Jack seemed impossible, insurmountable.

She worried about him though, and so she had bundled up some dinner, some treats and of course some flowers to take down to his house. She'd left Willow in Elias' very capable hands (she rather thought he had adapted much better and much quicker than she had) and assured him she would be quick. The last thing Daff wanted to be was a pest, but even with all of her own life changes over the last year, she didn't think her open invitation to his home had changed.

The walk to Pennyworth was quiet and Daff hurried along, not for feeling unsafe, but she just wanted to get there, now that she'd ventured out. She would likely floo home, but hated to do so with the basket of goodies in hand. Fortunately it didn't take her too long, and it was still light out, so she felt comfortable. Taking the last turn, she climbed the steps confidently (though she was half looking out for Miss Sandow) and rapped her knuckles on the door loudly.
