A new take on past events.

[Mrs K. Saunders]

Katherine hoped that this visit to The Silver Thimble would be a little better than ones in the past. She was here socially, not to purchase a dress, though a little shopping was also a possibility if the right item sprung out at her. Valentina, if nothing else, had excellent taste and her shop was always filled with the most delightful accessories.

She approached the shop door and confidently pushed it open. She was a new Katherine, no longer the mouse and the likes of Miss Audley were not going to frighten her, besides she was here with an offer that she is sure will be taken well.
