Willoughby to Elinor Dashwood,Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 44"Oh, why did we not come here earlier?" Kitty sighed bitterly. "Grafton House is always busy this time of day. We never should have stopped at Layton and Shear’s first.""It is the sign of a successful season," Elizabeth responded. "Do you think yourself the only girl in London preparing her trousseau? We were fortunate to secure an appointment with the mantuamaker before next week."Elizabeth refrained from reminding her sister that the detour to Layton and Shear’s had been entirely Kitty’s idea. She had seen and passed on a lilac sarsenet during a previous visit to the Henrietta Street silk mercer, and this morning, having awakened with renewed interest in her trousseau after finally seeing Harry again, she repented the decision. She had insisted on returning to the shop directly they began the day’s errands, anxious lest some other young lady purchase the last yards minutes before them.Layton and Shear’s had been crowded, forcing them to wait at the counter nearly half an hour before anyone could attend to them.
