“You will just love this one!” Carol chirped as she helped Hilda into a bright periwinkle gown.

Hilda smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she spun around to see the back of the dress. “This is too much, Carol! Are you sure all of these dresses are for me?”

Carol nodded, her eyes sparkling. “All of these are for you, Miss Hilda! Mr. Copper made it very clear that you were to have everything you needed, and after I went through your luggage and washed your things….well, Miss Hilda, it was clear that you needed a few things to make you look like a Chicago attorney’s wife!”

Hilda fingered the satin dress, reveling in the way it felt against her skin. She couldn't believe that she, a simple girl from Alabama, was standing in the guest bedroom of a fine Chicago home, wearing a dress that cost more than her wages in her job as a maid.

Carol, Michael’s maid, had been assisting her with trying on her new wardrobe, and Hilda was thankful for the company. Carol had tried to engage Kristina in helping Hilda to try on her new outfits, but Kristina had stuck her tongue out at Carol and skipped away.

“You look lovely in that blue,” Carol assured Hilda. “The other ones were nice as well. You have the perfect figure for these gowns, and it’s such a treat to take a break from my normal chores to help you! Mr. Copper told me to make sure that you were comfortable, and with all of these new trinkets and dresses, it looks like you will be very comfortable here in Chicago.”

Hilda grinned. “He is wonderful, isn’t he?”

Carol laughed. “Miss Hilda, you look like you have it so bad for Mr. Copper! The look in your eyes gives it away. He is a good looking man, isn’t he?”

Hilda nodded emphatically. “He is so handsome! He is older than I expected, but he is so very attractive. And, he is kind! The way he speaks to me, the way he speaks to you, and the way he speaks to the children has warmed my heart. I can hardly wait for our wedding tomorrow, Carol! I cannot wait to be his wife.”

Carol giggled. “I sounded just as excited on the night before my wedding,” she told Hilda as she helped her out of the periwinkle dress. “I think you two will be very happy together.”

Hilda shivered as the chilly air hit her bare skin, and Carol offered her a black robe. “Here,” Carol said. “Put this on while I fetch another dress.”

Hilda thanked Carol, and slipped into the soft robe. “You are too kind, Carol. Thank you for your help. I was a maid back in Alabama, and I know how busy your day is. It’s been so sweet to have your help today, especially with all of the unfriendly faces earlier…”

Carol sighed. “The children,” Carol began as she reached for a mint green frock to dress Hilda in. “Those poor children.”

Hilda pursed her lips as she raised her arms for Carol to slip the gown on over her head.
