"I know," she said softly, giving Narcissa a hug.  "I guess I’d better get ready."  She walked to the bed and opened the package that contained her extravagant gown.  Narcissa helped her into it and helped her with the corset, then fastened the rose choker around her neck. She slipped on the gothic black pearl tiara and pulled on her gloves, then stepped into the red and black shoes that matched her gown.  She walked to the full-length mirror and looked in, hardly recognizing herself.
