I love being a Christian because you get used to having small things thrill you. My most recent thrill is this pair of socks. They aren't just any socks- to me they are silky, cream colored knee highs that bring me into all my dreams about silk stockings that I got in my mind from reading all those Lucy Maud Montgomery novels. You can't tell from the picture but they're shiny from the silkiness- they are now my Sunday socks and will be a secret delight for the dark winter months at school."I wish I could have a pair- just one pair- of silk stockings. Ilse has three. Her father gives her everything she wants, now that he has learned to love her. But Aunt Elizabeth says silk stockings are immoral. I wonder why- any more than silk dresses."
L.M. Montgomery, Emily Climbs
