[QUOTE="Karin, post: 107791, member: 57167"] In Philadelphia was the birthday party for Baron Badeau on the way as the guests had started to arrive. The Badeaus were standing in a reception line in the Parlor greeting their guests, with Afton at the end of the line. Afton was dressed in a light blue, long straight gown with a high neck and no sleeves. She had a blue ribbon marking her waistline and her hair was pulled back in a French twist held in place with a diamond hair pin. She wore a pearl necklace with matching earrings. She looked very conservative. “Marius,” a lady said before she kissed Mario on the cheek. “Aunt Elizabeth,” Mario said politely. “May I introduce my fiancée, Aftonette Van Buren.” Afton looked surprised as the lady said, “Oh what a charming exclusive name,” Aunt Elizabeth looked approving before she gave Afton a kiss on the cheek. “Are you of the Van Buren’s of New York?” “Try Baton Rouge,” Afton said thru pressed teeth. “My fiancée is from the Southern cotton plantation line you wouldn’t have heard of them dear Aunt,” Mario hurried to explain. “Oh a confederate family, of course not,” aunt Elizabeth said. Her husband said, “So dear, Aftonnette, what do you do?” “I work with charity concerts,” Afton said. “She’s a wonderful organizer and quite musically gifted,” Mario explained. “Charming,” Aunt Elizabeth said. “How very interesting,” the Uncle agreed. “We must talk about the Philharmonics later,” he promised before they walked away. Afton turned towards Mario and said thru pressed teeth, “Aftonette?” “Well your name isn’t quite suitable dear, mother wanted to change it to Antoinette, but this way you can keep your nickname dear Afton!” “Okay but Van Buren?” “Well it used to be your name, but cheer up, my family’s approved of you so we can go ahead with the wedding. Now smile here comes the mayor!” Afton forced a fake smile as she decided to play along in the charade. [/QUOTE]
