"Mother, you are going to pass out when I tell you this news. Simon wants to court me," Kate jumped up and down excitedly. She had been keeping in her excitement until the moment he left.
"Well done Kate," Katrina applauded her daughter. It was wonderful for Kate to catch a man like Simon. He was rich and had good connections. "You are going to need new clothes if you are going to be around a man like Simon," she thought about the clothes Kate had been sorting out. Katrina was now unamused by the look of them all. Even the ones Kate wanted to save.
"We should buy new dresses until he has asked for my hand in marriage. I can return the money once I get married to him. I can't wait to tell my friends about this. I knew they were laughing at me because Alessandra married Edgar but looked at me. Grace will boil from jealousy"
