Once all that was done, Valerie returned to David’s bedroom and the trunk that sat menacingly in the centre of it. She took a deep breath before opening the two latches and lifting its heavy lid. “Oh my!” she gasped, seeing a resplendent display of neatly folded garments in pale pink, lilac, baby blue, mint green and pretty much every other pastel shade imaginable. Fabrics included cotton, linen, satin, chiffon and lace as well as some modern man-made fibres… but there was nothing modern about any of the styles. Peter pan collars, princess sleeves, lace-trimmed yokes and bibs, tired skirts, smart yet plain pinafores, blouses with long billowing sleeves and elegant embroidery. Everything was delightful.
