How old was JA... Written by Moni (6/23/2006 5:25 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, The Beautifull Cassandra, penned by Cheryl

when she wrote this? It's a lot of fun. I love "MADAM" at the opening. Of course this would be addressed to her sister? Not sure.

In Chapter 2:
"WHEN Cassandra had attained her 16th year, she was lovely & amiable, & chancing to fall in love with an elegant Bonnet her Mother had just compleated, bespoke by the Countess of ----, she placed it on her gentle Head & walked from her Mother's shop to make her Fortune."

Falling in love with a bonnet is fun, and then giving it away later is even more fun. I take this bonnet to mean it was bespoke "made to order", by the Countess of ----, so it belonged to a noblewoman.

Yes, nearly every sentence/chapter has a twist or surprise, it it makes the story run on in a kind of lively rhythm, so it's lots of fun, Ann2 is right, plenty of "ag's"!
