After the birth of the twins, Father got mother a purple scarf - light purple, almost a lilac - and it was probably the most expensive thing she owned. And she had jewels. Not many, but some. I think it cost him several horses to buy it. I was an acolyte of the Forward Order, so I wore mostly white, with some greens and golds."
