Saving Persephone (The Haberdashers Book 4) (30 page)

The look Tess gave her while sliding off the bed let Charlotte know that her sister was wise to her ways. "I'll bring the satchel, and then we will have you packed in no time."

Once Tess had left the room, Charlotte blew out a breath and looked at the pile of clothes again. She hated the idea of this house party, but Lolly was one of her few friends near her age. Prior to this they had only visited at family gatherings and corresponded through the post. Then this invitation had arrived and even Charlotte had detected the pleading tone of the note. Tess had, of course, been thrilled for Charlotte to finally have an occasion to wear the dresses that her sister had been adding to her wardrobe for the last few years. There were times when Charlotte merely felt like Tess's fashion doll. Most of these dresses had only ever been worn during fitting and adjustment. Well, at least she had something reasonable to wear while attending Lolly's entertainment.
