Quotation:
[V, 1870] Taken from Emma's Recollections:"I wore a soft deep dark coloured brown habit longer than to my heels, (as worn then), which had to be caught up to one side when walking, and thrown over the left arm gracefully and carefully, and this had to be practised during the riding instruction-all of which my father [had] taught me with great pleasure and pride in my appearance and aptitude. I also wore a brown felt hat that turned up at the sides."
