Emerie wore a diamond crown and six strings of pearls. Gwyn sported a broad-brimmed hat fit for any fine lady, perched at a rakish angle on her head. A lace parasol leaned against her other shoulder, and she twirled it idly as she surveyed the windows...”

“The wardrobe of life has three coats: one with many colors symbolizing favor; wear it with humility; and the second woven with the threads of servitude, integrity, and honesty. It may feel heavy at times, but it shapes the strength of our character. The third coat, adorned with honor, recognition, and elevation, is earned through trials and perseverance; wear it with responsibility and gratitude.
