Speaking of silk, Mrs. Hopkins, what exactly is the substance of your attire? It's so original. Mrs. Hopkins:
This, uh, it's flaxen. Isabella:

Mrs. Hopkins is in mourning. Mary Bassett:
She lost three sons to scarlet fever five years ago. Isabella:
I'm sorry. Mrs. Hopkins:
After that I just can't wear anything too fancy. Isabella:
Mrs. Hopkins, if I might suggest, why don't you let a little joy back into your life? You have a wonderful son home after five years, you should celebrate, have a party, with flowers and music
