Mistress Starveling was overseeing the evacuation of her dominion: the seamstress' workroom at Capulet Manor. She was a fastidious but nervous woman. Lady Juliette had asked for use of the room to debate styles of gown with her friends in secrecy, and the seamstress was fretting over the works-in-progress and the general condition of the wardrobe.  Almost every piece was to go out, even the lowliest scrap of fabric. Likewise were to go the many needles and bobbins and other tools of the craft. What couldn't be carried out would be pushed aside and carefully stacked.

"I hear there are ten gowns so far," one of the needlewomen whispered to another. "Ten, can you imagine, when anything she wears on one day is better than any of our church best?"

This Bud of Love: Part Two

"You have bereft me of all words"

May 4th
Continued from Part One.

Romeo wasn't a nature lover, but where Rosaline went, he followed.

Unfortunately for Romeo, the lady neither wished for nor welcomed his presence. Rosaline had pledged to enter a convent once her sickly mother passed, having felt a calling to serve God from a young age. To Romeo, this seemed like a grievous waste of youth and good looks, and he was determined to convince the great love of his life to choose him instead. Two weeks into this non-relationship, Romeo had made no positive progress.
