Excerpt from Allerton Towers, Vol. 3: A Novel Indeed her Impulses in this direction are so strong, that she holds - not perhaps quite an Olive branch, but unquestionably an olive twig-out to Fanny, in the form of an offer to superintend the selection of that young lady's trousseau. But Fanny, who is positively twitching with impatience to show and assert her independence of, and superiority to, people in general, and Mrs. Templeton in particular, rejects the offer with contumely, and quotes a noble and antique aunt 'of Lord Monks town's as being ready and willing to take the trouble of ordering all the delicate and dainty linen off her hands.
