Lady Patience is dressed in her finest gown...
waiting for him.
She has arranged her skirt perfectly
on her Victorian settee...
hoping to be a vision of beauty
when he enters the drawing room.
He sent her a lovely bouquet of flowers.
Queen Victoria tells her the meaning
of each different flower;
"Primrose, 'I can't live without you',
of each different flower;
"Primrose, 'I can't live without you',
Lilac 'First emotions of love' and
Apple Blossom 'Preference'."
Apple Blossom 'Preference'."
There was a Golden Key attached
which made the Queen's heart leap for joy.
The Queen whispered to Patience
what they all meant together,
what they all meant together,
" I prefer you above all others in these
emotions of our blossoming love.
I can't live without you and offer you
the key to my heart."
Her heart was fluttering as she waited
and wondered what the future
would hold for her and her beloved.
But she remains "patient" just as her parents
had named her on her Day of Christening.
And then she hears a gentle tapping
on her door.
Her patience has been rewarded with
his timely arrival.
He bows before her and kisses her
lovely soft hand...
He bows before her and kisses her
lovely soft hand...

What a lovely story to go with your beautifully constructed doll. The language of flowers with the key was a nice touch. I'd never considered that the flowers could be put together for one long message. What a nice idea!
