Chapter 8: Just why do you act the way you do?
"Knock Knock." I turn my head.
"Come in." It's Frau Schmidt, I close the window and move to meet her.
"Frau Schmidt." She hands me a bolt of material.
"For your new dresses, Fraulein Maria. The Captain had these sent out from town" OooH! Looking at the bolts they remind me of those glorious fashion women, in one of those store bought Magazines.
"Oh how lovely Oh! I'm sure these will make the prettiest clothes I've ever had." I once had this one dress it was made of a thin material. It was pure white! Oh I just loved that dress, it was a gift from my father after he had come back from one of his trips. I wore it out and I couldn't fit into it after I had turned 12.
".Tell me do you think the Captain would get me some more material if I asked him?" I have an idea, what if I make the children play clothes. I like that idea!
"How many dresses does a governess need?"
"Oh No not for me, for the children. I want to make them some play clothes."
"The von Trapp children don't play. They March." Don't Play?! How could any child now play?! There children and playing is what they do best! Why ever would they not play? How could she accept this?
"Oh, surely you don't approve of that?"
"Ever since the Captain lost his poor, wife, he - he runs this house as if he were on one of his ships again. Whistles. Orders. No more music, no more laughing. Nothing that reminds him of her - even the children." How horrible, the Captain was still grieving the loss of his wife, and seems to shut everyone out. In doing so he's neglecting his those seven children. This has to change! But how.?
"It's so wrong."
"Ah, well.How do you like your room?." I smile, It's bigger & so much prettier than my old room at the Abbey.
".There'll be new drapes at the windows." Wha? There fine, and in great shape. Why would any one what to waste that much money?
"New Drapes? But these are fine."
"Nevertheless, new ones have been ordered."
"Oh, but I really don't need them." Frau Schmidt moves to my door.
"Good, night, now." I had to try one last time.
"Frau Schmidt, Do you think if I ask the Captain tomarrow about the material.?"
"Oh he's leaving for Vienna in the morning." Oh yes, I forgot. To see Baroness Schraeder.
"Oh, yes, of course. Well, how long will he be gone?" Maybe I could find out a little more about this family while he's away.
"Well, that all depends. The last time he visited the Baroness he stayed for a month." A Month?! Sounds to me like he doesn't stay home very often.
"Oh."
"I shouldn't be saying this - not to you, I mean I don't know you that well - but if you ask me, the Captain's thinking very seriously of marrying the woman before the summer's over." OoOh! The children will have a new mother and the Captain will have a new wife, and they'll be a happy family again!
"Oh, that'd be wonderful! Well the children would have a mother again." That was it! That's what my mission is! I have to prepare the children for a new mother & before the Captain marries the Baroness I'll have to create a close bond between the children and their father!
"Yes, well.good night." Frau Schmidt leaves and I shut my door after her. "Good night."
