Finding Love

Chapter 9

I left early from home not wanting to be cooped up inside. Feeling like I couldn't breath. I made my way to the stocks to see if I could find Marie DuPont. After some searching there she was in a small cramped corner of the market.

"Hello Mrs. DuPont. I was hoping to run into you again. You see I need a new dress and we'll I was hoping you can make it for me?"

"Bonjour Mademoiselle yes of course I can make you a dress." She was so excited that she started measuring me right then and there. "I know duex brothers who sell beautiful fabrics! Come with me." I follow her to the other side of the stocks. Till we found a small store with to many fabrics.

We walked in the shop two brothers were there yelling at each other.

"No not that one!"

"This one she asked for!"

"Bonjour!" The both turned there heads.

"Hello! Madam! It is lovely to see you again. What can we do for you today?"

"We need fabric for dress" She gestured to me.

"Well hello my lady, What is it that your looking for?"

"Honestly I am leaving the details to Madam but I will be picking just a main color." I said as I walked around the little shop. I was over flowing with different materials and sowing equipment. "Did you used to have a bigger shop?"

"no we used to sell to a gentleman on Heaven street but When he died they changed the shop so now we have extra materials with no sellers. My brother and I are deciding if we should branch out and work in Cambridge see if we can find someone to sell all of this to."

"How long have you and your brother been doing this kind of work."

"All our lives My father owned this shop but in his time this place used to be like heaven st but times have changed it."

"Well you have quite a unique collection i am in love with these patterns Madam. I am not sure out of these four I like best."

"Let me see. Oh yes I see the problem." she took a minute i guess imagining working with the materials and seeing in her mind what she could do with them. "this one Mr. Arkright do you still have that light lace I looked at some time ago?"

"Yes! I was saving it for you." one brother my guess the oldest walked over to the counter and pulled out a box with the lace she was talking about.

"See this here pink will bring out your color and it is still warm for the type of dress i will make you and it will beautiful with this lace."

"In your hands I trust Madam. We will take both please."

"Do I put it on your credit Madam?" The younger brother came to help.

"No i will be paying for it." I paid for the material and we walked out of there Madam full of excitement to get started she had many ideas she was eager to start her new project.

I on the other hand was in no hurry to go home so I stayed around the Stocks for some time before walking to Haven st. just looking but not buying anything.

Just as I crossed the street landing getting my foot stuck on the side walk. My heal got stuck on a hole. I tried to pull it out with out attracting attention to myself with no luck. I was just not that graceful and I fell.

"Are you all right?" I was Mr. Evengston I was mortified. Here I was falling in the street in front of him and his brother. I stood quickly.

"Hello your Grace, Mr Evengston. it seems my heel is stuck in a hole and I cant seem to get it out." i said then lifted my skirt just a bit to show that the heel was in deed stuck. Mr Evengston bent down to my surprise and wrapped his hand on my calf and pulled on my leg which released my foot from the streets clamps.
