Anna smoothed her skirt and gave a cry of delight. “Never say I have pockets!?!”

YOU HAVE A RETICULE. YOU DON'T NEED POCKETS. also pockets have only JUST gone out of fashion because they ruin the silhouette of a regency gown so i HIGHLY DOUBT a swanky modiste is going to say "fuck fashion, i'm putting pockets in anyway because two centuries from now this will be considered feminist af"

“I don’t want a haircut!” Anna cried.

She wasn’t a bit surprised when the women ignored her objection and thrust her down into a chair in the middle of the room.

“Marry me!” he commanded with a hard shake.

“Oh, all right!” she cried, and he swooped down and shredded her up all over again.
