Mrs. Anna, overwhelmed with excitement, began to say just about anything.
At first, Samuel Dalton listened earnestly as his mother rambled on.
By the end, Mrs. Anna had veered off into unknown territory.
She began discussing the qualities of young ladies from various families with Samuel...
And how the daughters of certain families had conveniently reached the right age...
The more Samuel listened, the more he felt something was amiss.
In the end, he practically bolted away from Mrs. Anna as if for his life.
This left Mrs. Anna laughing heartily at his retreating figure.
After eating something to replenish her energy, Mrs. Anna took her to her wardrobe.
Mrs. Anna was a woman who knew how to enjoy life and never shortchanged herself materially.
So naturally, her wardrobe was the epitome of luxury and extravagance.
By the time Mrs. Anna and Selena Kensington walked in, the makeup artist and stylist were already waiting for them.
"Madam, Miss."
