[The Primadonna by F. Marion Crawford]@TWC D-Link bookThe Primadonna CHAPTER VIII 16/33
Margaret had no difficulty in looking pleased, but she also looked slightly puzzled. 'They are forget-me-nots,' said the Fraeulein, 'but because my name is Braun I made them brown.
You see? So you will remember your little Braun forget-me-not!' Margaret laughed at the primitively simple little jest, but she was touched too, and somehow she felt that her eyes were not quite dry as she kissed the good little woman again.
But Logotheti could not understand at all, and thought it all extremely silly.
He did not like Margaret's improvised turban, either, though he recognised the veil as one he had given her.
The headdress was not classic, and he did not think it becoming to the Victory of Samothrace. He also had remembered her birthday and he had a small offering in his pocket, but he could not give it to her before the others. Schreiermeyer would probably insist on looking at it and would guess its value, whereas Logotheti was sure that Margaret would not.
