"Should I quit being a maid and become a dressmaker?" Sally stared in awe at the home Erin resided in. It was not as grand as the duke's home, but considerably large for someone whose source of income came from making dresses. "I'm starting to realize how expensive dresses really are and how much of a good business it is."
