About This Book

"How lovely - green velvet and silver. I call that a dream, so soft and delicious, too." She rubbed a fold of the skirt against her cheek. "Mine's silver lame, it smells like a bird cage when it gets hot but I do love it. Aren't you thankful evening skirts are long again?" Ah, the dresses! But oh, the monotony of the Season, with its endless run of glittering balls.
