Louisa smiled to herself. Secretly she was happy that she chose to wear her light dress. It was her newest one, and her prettiest of her day wear so she thought. Her flaxen hair was down about her shoulders and made it way down her back. She even had about of make up on that day.
"You have 8 siblings, wow. " Avery said. "I only have my sister."
"Well Liesl the eldest is married, Friedrich is getting married soon, its a sticky situation he's in." she said. " and the rest are younger, Lucas is just a toddler but he's my half brother, Gretl is ten, rest range up to me, and there's only three boys, and five girls. We're hoping this time mother will have another girl." Louis explained. "Sorry am I being a chatterbox?"
"No it;s perfect alright..another brother are sister, that must be exciting." Avery smiled at her innocence.
"Oh it is!, and finally being able to come back home, after being in Switzerland because of the war." she said her voice getting softer at the end.
"Yes that dreadful war, but its over now." Avery said. "Thats how I came to be here, I fell in loved and moved here, and now going to study here. I'm from Canada."
"Canada. Wow, yours far away from home." Louisa said a bit shocked.
"Yes I suppose I am. But at twenty-four, it was time to find adventure." Avery said.
Louisa choked on her drink. "Your twenty-four!"
"Why how old are you?"
"I'm just 18." Louisa said meekly. He'd surely he forget her know.
"Just 18, you seem older." Avery said smiling. "But it doesn't matter, So you like reading."
"Oh gracious heaven...That book is for my sister Brigitta she always has her nose in a book. I never could really stay interested long in a book. Though I am fond of art, and painting." she said
"What do you wish to do at the Uni?" Avery asked her.
"Oh I don't know. Father wants me to go. I'll probably just study art or something." Louisa shrugged. "What are you taking?"
"English, and history so far." Avery said.
"Thats nice, Mother always criticized my English and history marks." she said sullenly.
"Your mother taught you?"
"Oh, my father married our governess, right before the war broke out." she said explaining.
"Your father married his employee, now that different." Avery said shocked.
"They loved each other, he was just to stubborn to admit it. And mother well she thought her calling was to be a nun."
"You certainly have a interesting family." Avery told her.
"Yeah I know." she said.

"Maria who is that walking with Liesl?" Georg asked. From the window where he stood.
Maria Von Trapp got up where she sat and went next to him. "I don't know dear. Maybe a new beau?" she teased.
"Be nice, but he looks to old for her." He said.
"I'm sure they met at the university or something." Maria said sitting back down.
"How you feeling?" Georg asked pouring her some tea.
"Like a large ballon, who's only 6 months" she said taking the tea from him. "But other then that I am alright."
"Well your having twins so, I guess it natural to feel that way." he said.

"Mother?" Gretl asked. Walking into her parents sitting room.
"What is it Gretl?" Maria asked looking up from her book.
"Where do babies comes from...I mean you had Luc, and now this one. And Izzy having one" Gretl asked.
Maria dropped the book...but regained her composure. "Well Gretl, come here."Gretl ran over to her mother and sat beside her.
"Well...when a man and a woman love each other, sometimes that loves spills over and creates a baby." Maria said after thinking.
"But what about Izzy and Friedrich." Gretl asked.
"Well their's is a special case of love." Maria answered...'and hormones.' she thought to herself and looked at Gretl who seemed satisfied.
"Why don't you run along and go play?" Maria said.
"Okay!"Gretl jumped off the settee and ran out of the room.

"Father, is it alright if I go out Friday night to the movies?" Louisa asked
"With who?" Georg asked.
"A friend from University," Louisa answered carefully, in the middle of taking a bite of her food on her plate.
"Was it that boy who walked you home?" he asked,
"Um yeah." She said shyly.
"I want to meet him first." Georg concluded.
"Oh Georg just let her go." Maria said. "He seemed like a nice boy.'
"Louisa has a boyfriend!" Marta and Gretl chanted in a sing-song voice.
Isobel sat in her seat next to Friedrich. One hand on her six month stomach. Other with a fork pushing around food.
"Izzy try to eat please," Friedrich said.
"I'm just not feeling well today." she told him.
Friedrich put a hand to her forehead. "Dad I think you might want to find the doctor. Izzy has a fever." he said. "Come on, I'll take you upstairs."
"Louisa you can go..."Georg said before going for the telephone.
