Chapter 15: Unexpected Supprises, from an Unexpected Person.
A few weeks later, the children and the Captain have improved there relationship, they've even spent some time alone together. Life has been so much better since the Captain has changed his attitude towards life, he's become much more human to me. He's beginning to be himself. On another happy note, our relationship has changed as well. We don't fight like we used to, in fact I enjoy spending time with him and the children.
The children and I have been working on putting together a puppet show, it's all been tweaked and now were ready to premire it. In fact we've just finished our final rehersal, it went very well, I'm very confident the Captain will love the puppet show.
The children and I depart towards the upstairs to dress for dinner. Since staying here I've learned to dress up for dinner as best I could. I look forward to every moment spending with this family. Dinner is always absolutely delicious, desert is especially grand. Food here is heaven compared to what we eat at the Abbey.
Racing upstairs I finally reach the door to my room, turning the knob I think about what the wonderful we will have tonight! Slipping inside, I notice an article of clothing on my bed. Shutting the door I race to my bed to put away the forgotten piece of clothing. To my supprise it's a beautiful sheer blue material that I have never layed my eyes on before. However, If I had I insist buying it.
Smiling broadly, I carefully picked it up, feeling the thin softness of the material. I carried it with me off the bed, standing up I unrolled it. Careful not to tear it. Looking at it I realize there is enough material here to make a dress. I frown. Where had it come from? I begin to wonder. As if someone had heard me I watch as a folded piece of paper floated to the floor. Putting the material back on the bed, I hastily grabbed the paper. I unfolded it, as I had expected it was a note about the material. About where it had come from.
Dear, Fraulein
I had wanted to thank you for helping me see my estranged relationship with my children. For doing that I couldn't thank you enough. I know I apologized but I felf it wasn't enough. The only thing that came to mind was some material for a new dress for you.
I smile. A lovely gift from Captain von Trapp, to think that just a few weeks ago we were at each other's throats. I'd thank him later for it, Folding the piece of paper back up I slid it in my drawer, next to my bed.
A very unexpected gift, I had a party dress. I'd have to make it soon, to get a good use out of it. It made me think of my special white party dress I had when I was a child. I wore it out, it was my favorite dress!
Putting the material away, I pick out my dress for dinner this evening, my head is filled with thoughts of what I will turn the lovely material into. I chose my lovely White dress with the small flower pattern, and teal bodice. Once I'm dressed I dash down stairs to dinner with the von Trapps.
Dinner is now finished, and superb as usual. Tonight we've decided to go our separate ways, the children are all occupied. Brigitta is reading a wonderful new book, Gretl and Marta are playing with their dolls. Liesl, Friedrich, Louisa and Kurt are playing cards. Max and The Baroness are chatting and the Captain has retired to his study. I decide to slip out and thank the Captain for my gift.
Walking down the Grand hallway, I arrive at the Captain's Study. I raise my hand to knock on the door, and a barely audible 'come in' is heard. Turning the doorknob, I slide in. The room is dark, only lit by one single kerosene lamp, which is sitting on the Captain's desk. The Captain notices me and puts the book down that he had been reading.
"Come in Fraulein." He says. I notice that I was standing in the doorway. Shutting the door I make my way towards him.
"Would you care to have a seat?"
"Uh. No, Thank you." I was nervous enough.
"I wanted to thank you for the material you've given me. It was very thoughtful of you." I sincerely meant it, but with my feeling of uneasiness I don't know if he would have believed me.
"I'm sure you've read the note?"
"uh. Yes."
"Then you know it was because of what you have done for this family. I thought that just an apology was not enough."
"I thank you all the same."
"Your Welcome, Fraulein." We smile at each other and yet again I feel that connection. I'm beginning to look forward to it, I feel strangely warm and comforted by it.
