One Dress a Day Challenge
Monochrome July
Libeled Lady / Jean Harlow as Gladys Benton
Gladys wears this statement-making fur-trimmed coat for what she expects will be her big scene and maybe even her picture in the papers. Interestingly, it's not the same outfit she wore in an earlier abortive attempt to do the same thing, meaning that she has put enough thought into her "costume" to refine it in between attempts!
The dominant feature of the outfit is, of course, the extravagant amounts of fur. But I also like the decorated belt buckle, the row of buttons down the front, and the little "beanie" hat with veil. A row of fabric-covered buttons on the front of a dress seems to have been a stylish thing in 1936; I've noticed it on other costumes of that year.
In case anyone's wondering, since I've featured a few fur-trimmed outfits lately: I feel like I ought to say that I understand why obtaining fur causes problems on multiple levels, and I'm glad that we have faux fur options today. But I don't see any harm in appreciating the visual effect of fur, especially in older movies.

Propaganda
Mbissine Thérèse Diop (Black Girl)—She’s a Senegalese actress known for starring in Black Girl, one of the first African films to receive international attention/acclaim. So much of the movie relies on her ability to convey her character’s sense of isolation/loneliness, she’s so amazing, I really wish she had acted more. However, she just recently appeared in the film Cuties!
Myrna Loy (The Thin Man, Manhattan Melodrama, Mr Blandings Builds his Dream House)—Started out a slinky silent screen vamp. Became a screwball lead who had a blast drinking, being married to William Powell, solving mysteries, and taking her dog everywhere in the Thin Man Movies. Broke our hearts in The Best Years of Our Lives and played a string of dream wives. Remained hot the entire time. Decades of hotness.
This is round 3 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Mbissine Thérèse Diop:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Myrna Loy:
Tumblr media
Myrna Loy excelled at playing coy women, so common in screwball comedies in the 40s. She batted her lashes, and shrugged with grace, and made her costars look like foolish heels next to her. She charmed with sneaky elegance, well-placed pouting, and repartee. Besides, she was sultry AF.
While Myrna certainly looked hot in some her earlier vampy exotic bad girl roles, I think shes hottest when her comedic chops got to be displayed. Her dry wit, comedic timing, and subtle facial expressions make her the queen of deadpan snark.
Tumblr media
She's just very Mother
So beautiful and popular she was crowned Queen of the Movies in 1936, Myrna Loy was also an amazing actress. She's best remembered for The Thin Man and sequels, where she gets to show off her comedy skills, adding irresistible impish charm to her classic beauty and dancer's figure.
THE SASS
One of the few actresses who managed to successfully transition from silent to talkies, never won an Oscar but was at one time the highest paid woman in Hollywood. Advocated for better roles and pay for Black actors in the 1930s, so passionately anti-Nazi in the 40s she made Hitler's blacklist, spoke out against Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare, and advocated for fair housing in the 1950s and 1960s, all while being hot as fuck opposite William Powell, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy and a whole galaxy of the Hot Vintage Men Poll all-stars.
Tumblr media
Cute as a button with so much RIZZ! She and whatsisname in The Thin Man are relationship goals.
She was literally called the Queen of Hollywood! She is so sassy and funny in the whole Thin Man series. Absolutely hot in those, and who doesn’t love a woman who can laugh? She had the sultriest gaze and that style! Also before she was a star she sat as the model for an iconic statue for a school (representing “Fountain of Education”).
the glamour!! the banter!! the comedy!!
Tumblr media
She's got this cute kinda scrunched up face AND shes funny AND shes got a bangin body.

Tumblr media
CHAPTER 3
CHAPTER 4
You gasped lightly as you stared up into Travis' eyes, "Are you sure?"
Travis exhaled a laugh, "Baby, you've been turning me on all night." His voice lowered to an almost whisper, "And if it's okay with you, I'd like to spend whatever is left of tonight, fucking you in my hotel room."
You slowly ran your tongue along your top lip, "I can't think of a better way to end the night."
Travis grinned and grabbed your arm, pulling you towards the road in order to hail a taxi. As soon as you stepped into the vehicle, Travis's hand latched onto your inner thigh.
"The Four Seasons, please."
You looked to him with dark eyes as his hand slowly moved upwards, pushing the fabric aside and hooking his fingers inside of your thong. Your breath hitched when he touched your sensitive clit and an intense throb took over you. You already knew how wet you were but Travis' eyes widened when his fingers found your soaking core. He rubbed circles across your folds, giving extra attention to your swollen clit. Your eyes began to flutter and roll back into your head but Travis used his other hand to bring your attention back to him.
"Look at me." He said quietly, not wanting to gain the observation of the taxi driver.
Your hazy eyes tried to focus on Travis as the intense pleasure began to take a hold of you. He gently pushed two fingers inside of you, pumping back and forth with an agonisingly slow pace. A soft breath escaped your lips as you felt Travis add a third finger, your walls stretching with a slight sharp pain. Travis' eyebrows narrowed slightly as he pleasured you, signalling his own arousal. You glanced down to see a growing mound in his pants which you placed your hand on top off, grazing it lightly.
The taxi pulled into the hotel entrance, the bright yellow lights of the lobby streaming through the glass double doors.
Travis removed his fingers from you with a wet sound before placing them in his mouth, sucking your juices from his skin, "To be continued."
Your breath caught in your throat and you wiggled your dress down your thighs, anxious that a noticeable damp patch would be visible. Travis placed his hand around your waist and headed into the hotel, guiding him with you. Large elevators lined a wall and Travis pressed one of the buttons, causing one of their doors to slide open.
You both stepped into the lift and as soon as the doors were closed, Travis lunged towards you, pinning you against the wall. His hands grabbed at your body desperately, exploring your thighs, your breasts and your ass in quick succession. You groaned lightly as his mouth was on your neck, alternating between kisses and nibbles. You clawed at his large shoulders and biceps, grasping onto them in case your legs completely buckled underneath you.
The elevator doors flew open to show a single door at the end of a short hallway. Travis lifted you with impressive strength and you instinctively wrapped your legs around his waist. Your hands found themselves at either side of his head, pulling it towards you for a long, deep kiss. Travis held you up as he made his way to the hotel room, fishing for his key card from his back pocket and letting himself in.
The dim lamp lights clicked on and Travis eased you down onto the couch, stepping back to admire you. You rose to your feet, slowly peeling your dress from your body and letting it drop onto the floor. Travis' expression changed to pure hunger. His eyes scanned over your breasts, down across your midriff and towards your thong.
"Take it off." He said in a low growl.
You obeyed, looping your thumbs under the fabric and pulling it down past your thighs. You kicked your underwear away from you and Travis took a step towards you.
"Good girl."
Your pussy pulsated with his words, causing you to squeeze your thighs together. Travis reached out and snaked his hands around your waist, pulling you closer to him.
You reached up and ran your hands underneath his t-shirt, feeling his muscled chest, "Well, this hardly seems fair. You're fully clothed and here I am, completely naked."
His eyes glistened, "I quite like it."
Suddenly, Travis picked you up and tossed you down onto the couch, pushing your knees apart. He flashed you a quick grin before lowering his head between your legs. His tongue latched onto your pussy, licking and sucking at your clit with a gentle pressure. You pressed your head back into the couch, arching your back and stretching your arms out. You pelvis squirmed slightly with the intense pleasure but Travis held you steady with one hand and he used the other one to intensify your growing orgasm by sliding two fingers into you in addition to his tongue. A guttural scream left your lips and you curled your toes tightly, letting your muscles contract and relax repeatedly.
Travis removed his mouth from your core, leaving his fingers in place and moved his face close to yours, "You like that, babygirl?"
You nodded quickly.
"Do I make you feel good?"
You whimpered quietly.
"What? I can't hear you."
"Y-yes, you make me feel...so good." You stuttered.
His fingers stopped moving momentarily and he studied your expression, creased eyes and open mouth, before curling them upwards to graze your g-spot. You gasped with wide eyes and Travis smiled down at you.
"You look perfect like this."
He continued with his stop-start actions, watching your face change with each motion. Your mind began to whir, a dull ache burning inside of you until you couldn't take any more and you released all of your tension, your wetness covering his hands.
Travis looked down and grinned wildly, "Holy shit, I did make you feel good."
Your legs felt weak but you carefully stood up from the couch, some remaining cum seeping down the inside of your leg.
You took hold of Travis' hand, "My turn now." You whispered before pulling him towards the bedroom.
Travis quickly wiped his hand on a towel as you kneeled in front of him, reaching up to undo his belt. His eyes were locked on you and your skin shivered when you revealed his athletically toned legs. You ran your hands over them, occasionally squeezing to feel his immense strength. Travis bit down on his bottom lip when your hand ghosted over his crotch, the fabric of his briefs tightening over his hard dick.
You pulled his briefs down briskly, his thick cock springing free. Your jaw dropped slightly at his sheer size.
"Go on, babygirl. Take it." Travis groaned.
You placed one hand around the base of Travis' erection, applying a small amount of pressure and noticing the thick veins that were protruding. You opened your mouth further and ran your tongue along the underside of his dick, playing special attention to his tip, taking some saliva between your lips and spreading it across. Travis removed his t-shirt quickly, his chest muscles bulging with pleasure.
He placed a hand on the back of your head, stroking your hair, "You're so good...use that pretty mouth." He mumbled.
You complied, parting your lips and wrapping them around his length, slowly bobbing your head up and down, taking more of his dick each time. Travis moaned as you sucked his cock with impressive skill, tilting your head occasionally so that your tongue ran over the thick ridge. His thigh muscles twitched and his free hand gripped the dresser behind him.
You pushed your head into his crotch, feeling the head of his dick pressed into the back of your throat. Your eyes were wide and tears were forming quickly and you craned your neck to look at Travis. His mouth was open and his eyebrows were furrowed. He took your face in his hand and used his thumb to wipe away the moisture under your eyes. You started to feel dizzy and your vision was blurring but the sensation was exhilarating. Travis bucked his hips forward a little, intensifying the feeling. You could feel your heart beating out of your chest and your blood was pumping around your body with force. You quickly pulled your head away with a croak and gasped for air. Travis leaned down and steadied you, placing a gentle kiss on your lips.
"Well done." He stroked your hair and stared into your eyes, "You did so well."
Travis helped you to your feet and laid you carefully on the bed, lightly dragging his hands over your body. Your breathing was laboured but you yearned for him to fuck you. He pressed his lips firmly onto yours and positioned himself in between your thighs, your pussy twitching at the feeling of his dick pressing against your entrance. You lifted your knee, spreading your pussy and opening yourself to him. With barely any effort, Travis slid his cock inside of you, allowing you time to adjust to his size. Your walls clamped around him immediately, squeezing and causing Travis to grunt as he began to thrust into you.
You closed your eyes tightly and whimpered with the sting of your pussy stretching but you slowly adapted to Travis' length and the initial pain became ultimate pleasure, washing over your entire body.
Travis ground into you with ease, his steady rhythm fuelling your second orgasm. The hotel room was soon filled with moans, groans, whimpers and cries from the pair of you, the air thick with passion. He hooked your knee under his arm, pressing into the mattress to steady himself. His dick was slamming into you, forcing itself against your cervix with every thrust. The sound of wet skin slapping together drove you crazy and you had to bite the pillow next to your head in order to stop yourself from screaming too loud. Travis buried his face against your shoulder and his hot breath against your neck sent waves of tingles across your skin.
Travis' pace became unpredictable and he began to thrust harder. You dug your fingertips into his back as his hips stuttered against your pelvis. He lifted himself up, giving you a perfect view of his toned body, his chest peppered in hair which currently had sweat dripping down in thin lines.
"I'm gonna cum." He panted.
You pushed your chest towards the ceiling, "On my tits, cum on my tits."
He quickly pulled his dick out of you and shuffled his knees so that he was at your side. He grasped his length and quickly pumped his hand, locking eyes with you in an intense stare. You squirmed on the bed, placing your hands on your breasts and tweaking at your nipples, letting out soft, breathy moans. It wasn't until you reached out and ran your fingers gently along his balls when his mouth dropped open and his grip tightened. Cum shot out and landed in sticky pools on your chest. You breathed out a loud sigh and smiled up at Travis who was still coming down from his climax. He rested one hand on a pillow as he regained the strength of his legs. After a few seconds, he collapsed on the bed next to you, resting on his elbow.
He held his hand out and stroked your cheek lightly, "Fuck, that was good."
You looked down at the mess on your chest, "It was." You smirked, "I need a shower, are you joining me?"

*I couldn't find shipping prices, so there might be an additional 6-15€ fee?
Details:
[general note: I think the full sized perfumes themselves are all vaguely in the same price range and many (if not all) offer a coupon with the sample set that can later on be used when buying a full sized bottle]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Matiere Premiere - chic, influencer-beloved niche house. With their own fields in Grasse (the founder grew up there), they offer a wide arrange of scents with a focus on giving raw materials (="matiere premiere") a modern twist, i.e. radical rose, crystal saffron, Parisian musk. Innovation with a focus on excellence. Also definitely a "parisian it girl" brand, or at least that's how it's seen online.
Bienaimé - vintage house (1936!) with a small selection of mostly flower-leaning, powder-dream, vintage-inspired scents. The original founder, Robert Bienaimé, is also the nose behind Quelques Fleurs - an icon in perfume history for introducing flower bouquets (instead of singular flowers). Now, under Cécilia Mergui, the house was revived (2012, new perfume line launched 2023) and puts an emphasis on dreamy nostalgia and sustainability.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sylvaine Delacourte - niche house by Sylvaine Delacourte herself that, like PM, focuses on raw materials. Here the idea is to take one ingredient and interpret it in five different ways to bring out different facets and show them from new and exciting perspectives. There are three collections: Vanilla, Orange Blossom and Musk (my pricing includes all three sample sets, I couldn't decide because I love all three ingredients).
Sommelier du Parfum - website that not only sells a lot of niche perfumes and testers, but also offers collections of discovery sets and the opportunity to make your own selection based on the results of their perfume finder quiz. I just found the website because I wanted to try Bake by Akro and sniffed around in what else they had to offer. It definitely pays to check the og houses though because the Etat Libre Tester sets are cheaper than what they offer on this website, but other houses (like Akro) don't ship to Germany/have very high shipping prices, so SdP.de is still definitely an option. Anyhow, this was just a random selection of scents.

Need a Catholic school Hawk/Tim AU set in 1948.
Keep it where Hawk still served in '44 but Tim is younger (Sophmore-Junior year maybe). Since when Tim was 14, Hawk would have been 24-25 in Velletri, Hawk would have to get the teaching gig a year after that at 26. Which doesn't really make sense at all so maybe Tim is just aged down to where he's 2-3 years younger, and it gives Hawk time to get out at 27 and then establish himself as a teacher at 29 by the time Tim reaches his Sophomore year. I'll never write this, why am I doing all the work to make a workaround for age. Going off the suspected age-range given the tennis trophy Hawk got is dated 1936, him being born 1919 or 1920, I prefer 1919 so that's the year I use. And per Tim's enlistment paper, he was born 06/06/30, making him 13-14 in 44' in canon, but in the AU he'd be born 1933 or 1932.
I would love to write it but I don't know how Catholic schools work-
Anyway, history teacher Hawk x student Tim. Tim is a great student already but he goes the extra mile in Hawk's class, he's usually always the first to finish assignments and does extra research on time periods and events that Hawk shows more interest in (maybe he gifts a book to Hawk that way.) Hawk acknowledges it but never makes a show of favoritism like giving extra attention or praise to Tim, no after-class meetings alone in Hawk's classroom or office, NOTHING. But ofc Tim knows the feelings are at least somewhat mutual bc Hawk does look at him throughout the class period. He never makes a big show of that either, no winks or lip-licks or once-overs, he'll take a deep breath though, and blink real slow, maybe the slightest little smile but never enough to notice unless you look as closely as Tim does.
Maybe there's a time that he and Tim are outside, standing side by side in some sort of secluded portion of the courtyard, when Hawk touches him for the first time. Nothing that couldn't be written off as innocent if someone were to see the action. They'd been talking about the project Hawk had assigned that morning. Tim, always eager for more direction from Hawk so that his submitted work will be the best of the bunch, keeps inching closer and closer by """accident"". Hawk places his hand on the boy's shoulder and gently holds him still, and when Tim stops and his breath catches, Hawk slides his hand up Tim's trap to the nape of his neck, squeezing just a little to make Tim shudder and let out a whine. At the involuntary noise, Hawk smirks and runs his nails down Tim's spine, scratching the pristinely ironed white button-up of Tim's uniform, sending goosebumps all along Tim's skin, his legs a little shaky from the smallest touch and Hawk grabs his waist/hip to stablize the boy. Hawk leans down the slightest bit to speak lowly in his star student's ear.
"It's a rather large assignment, but I have no doubt in your ability to blow it out of the water," Hawk digs his fingers into the slight give of Tim's waist, indulging and giving himself something to fantasize about later. "I'll spend the weekend picturing you kneeling on the floor as you work on my project." His project, like this assinment isn't for a grade but for Hawk personally.
Tim thinks about it that night and can't help but touch himself. He'll never look at the Battles of Ypres the same after that day.
That's all I've got-

Sunday Steve - Day Twelve
Things that would be new or unfamiliar to Steve in the 21st century, either due to the time period he grew up in, or his social-economic status and other such factors.
Day Twelve: Soap
One day I was looking at a bottle of dishsoap and I wondered, would Steve have used this? So I looked it up. Liquid soap was patented in 1865 but "despite its popularity throughout the early to middle 1900’s, it wasn’t until 1980 that liquid soap became mass-produced for domestic use." (Link)
From what I've found liquid soap was not that commonly used. There were liquid shampoos in the 20s but many people used shampoo powder or liquified grated soap bars.
It's the same for other soap. Laundry soap and dishsoap came in powders and soap bars. Below you can see a box of soap flakes shown to be used for both laundry and dishes.
Tumblr media
Soap flakes sold for 10 cents circa 1929
Here are some more laundry soap options we covered in the laundry post.
Tumblr media
Laundry soap options in 1927. They included purchasing flakes, chips, or powder; liquifying your soap ahead of time(right); and (left) grating your own laundry soap from a bar. Fels Naptha soap, which came in a big bar, was rubbed on difficult stains and rings around the collar. (Link)
Liquidizing the soap entails taking soap shavings and dissolving it into boiling water. The liquid would then be poured into laundry water to be used. If left over night the soap re-solidifies.
For dishes another option besides powders or flakes is a soap shaker. This blog discusses early 20th century dishwashing, showing things like soap shakers and dish scrapers. Looks like one could use a soap shaker to more easily get suds from a bar of soap.
Tumblr media
Modern soap shaker reproduction (Link).
But what about public bathrooms?
Most public bathrooms nowadays use liquid soap, and if liquid soap wasn't so common, what did they use?
It's possible some bathrooms used bars of soap it's not very easy to find information about that online. What I can find that is soap dispensers that dispensed powdered soap!
There's this one that had a crank to push the soap forward to an opening. Another type of seemed to have a lever/button press to dispense soap. Some styles shave off soap bars inside the canister as well.
I've never experienced these types of dispensers but looking online a lot of people seem to remember them growing up.
1940s era bathroom experienced in the 70s:
They were very simple -- white plaster walls with a wooden partition painted dark green, a painted concrete floor, and a plain white wall-mounted toilet. The sinks had cold water only, and over each sink was mounted a metal Boraxo dispenser -- Boraxo was a dry, gritty, powdered soap, and the dispenser was a sort of mechanical sifter with a lever that hung down below. You'd bang on the lever and a small amount of the powder would sift out. The towel dispensers gave out rough folded-red-paper towels
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Circa 1936 powdered soap dispenser with crank handle. Note is says "pure dry cake soap ground into powder as you use it without any waste". So this dispenser seems to ground soap cakes (bars) into powder itself.
The video below is an example of push button powdered soap dispenser. Some dispensers have labels suggested to wet the hand first before using the soap. (37 sec video).
youtube
I have also seen people talk about soap leaves being available in women's bathrooms. The soap leaf booklets could also be carried around in a purse and used by the owner at their convenience.
You can see in this accessory pack that at least some soldiers were provided with soap leaf packets to use during World War Two.
In conclusion
It is unlikely Steve would be used to using liquid soap. From what I could find liquid soap, and especially the liquid hand soap dispensers, were not popular until the 80s (this seems to be partially because of the difficulty of developing a pump soap dispenser for liquid soap, so that would also be new for him.) I think the prevalence of liquid soap would surprise him as soap is so basic you don't really expect it to change but basically the whole experience of soap has changed for him.
Also, fun fact! Soap operas are called that because when they rose to popularity in the 20-30s they were regularly sponsored by soap companies!

One Dress a Day Challenge
June: Weddings
Swing Time / Ginger Rogers as Penny Carroll
This is definitely an unexpected wedding outfit! I'd love to know the colors of the individual items. The jacket is made of some shiny material, with a flared skirt, princess seams, and slight leg-of-mutton sleeves. Over this, she wears a fur with attached fresh flowers. The gloves are dark, but not as dark as the skirt, hat, and clutch purse. She does have a veil, but it's just dark netting attached to a round hat with a bow on top.
Another interesting feature of the jacket is the long row of small buttons down the front. I have started calling these "1936 buttons," as I've noticed them on dresses in other movies that came out that year. Ginger has a similar row of buttons on another of her dresses from the same movie, for the number "Waltz in Swing Time" (see below). You can also see them on Jean Harlow in Libeled Lady.

Propaganda
Françoise Rosay (Carnival in Flanders, Jenny, The Halfway House)— French actress and opera singer. i just think she's really hot!
Myrna Loy (The Thin Man, Manhattan Melodrama, Mr Blandings Builds his Dream House)—Started out a slinky silent screen vamp. Became a screwball lead who had a blast drinking, being married to William Powell, solving mysteries, and taking her dog everywhere in the Thin Man Movies. Broke our hearts in The Best Years of Our Lives and played a string of dream wives. Remained hot the entire time. Decades of hotness.
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Françoise Rosay:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Myrna Loy:
Tumblr media
Myrna Loy excelled at playing coy women, so common in screwball comedies in the 40s. She batted her lashes, and shrugged with grace, and made her costars look like foolish heels next to her. She charmed with sneaky elegance, well-placed pouting, and repartee. Besides, she was sultry AF.
While Myrna certainly looked hot in some her earlier vampy exotic bad girl roles, I think shes hottest when her comedic chops got to be displayed. Her dry wit, comedic timing, and subtle facial expressions make her the queen of deadpan snark.
Tumblr media
She's just very Mother
So beautiful and popular she was crowned Queen of the Movies in 1936, Myrna Loy was also an amazing actress. She's best remembered for The Thin Man and sequels, where she gets to show off her comedy skills, adding irresistible impish charm to her classic beauty and dancer's figure.
THE SASS
One of the few actresses who managed to successfully transition from silent to talkies, never won an Oscar but was at one time the highest paid woman in Hollywood. Advocated for better roles and pay for Black actors in the 1930s, so passionately anti-Nazi in the 40s she made Hitler's blacklist, spoke out against Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare, and advocated for fair housing in the 1950s and 1960s, all while being hot as fuck opposite William Powell, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy and a whole galaxy of the Hot Vintage Men Poll all-stars.
Tumblr media
Cute as a button with so much RIZZ! She and whatsisname in The Thin Man are relationship goals.
She was literally called the Queen of Hollywood! She is so sassy and funny in the whole Thin Man series. Absolutely hot in those, and who doesn’t love a woman who can laugh? She had the sultriest gaze and that style! Also before she was a star she sat as the model for an iconic statue for a school (representing “Fountain of Education”).
the glamour!! the banter!! the comedy!!
Tumblr media
She's got this cute kinda scrunched up face AND shes funny AND shes got a bangin body.

The Blue Castle chapter 21
Thoughts under the read-more!
John Foster says,” quoted Valancy, “‘If you can sit in silence with a person for half an hour and yet be entirely comfortable, you and that person can be friends. If you cannot, friends you’ll never be and you need not waste time in trying.’”
“Evidently John Foster says a sensible thing once in a while,” conceded Barney
I really want to read a John Foster novel, just to what sort of genre it would fit into. I'm imagining one those "essays on life" types of books, but with more exposition about nature.
Barney's attitude here perfectly captures what its like when your friend is really into a Thing and you're not at all but you can admit the good things about it when you see them.
Valancy was perfectly happy. Some things dawn on you slowly. Some things come by lightning flashes. Valancy had had a lightning flash.
She knew quite well now that she loved Barney.
YES!! YOU GO GIRL!! Valancy having this sudden realization is so good! I especially love it because in the following paragraphs she elaborates on how it's just enough to love someone, there's no need for it to be reciprocated. Of course, she would want it to be, but her happiness doesn't depend on it. How is a book from 1936 better at this than most modern media?!?!
Life was no longer empty and futile, and death could cheat her of nothing. Love had cast out her last fear.
That last sentence is a biblical reference (the second one in this chapter actually). Overall, though, it's a lovely quote. Here its talking about romantic love, but I think this and the rest of Valancy's inner monologue can refer to any kind of love. The simplest acts of loving and being loved can take away the terror of living alone and unwanted.
I never had a life like other girls. You couldn’t understand. Why,”—she had a desperate desire that Barney should know the worst about her—“I didn’t even love my mother. Isn’t it awful that I don’t love my mother?”
“Rather awful—for her,” said Barney drily.
Poor Valancy, but lmao at Barney's answer. He knows what the Stirlings are like.
He pulled it up tight about her throat and buttoned it on her. Valancy submitted with secret delight. How nice it was to have some one look after you so!
THE COAT!!! But seriously, these two have such husband and wife energy already
And then who should find them but Uncle Wellington and Olive! The entire last third of the chapter really doubles down on the purity culture themes with Valancy comparing Olive to a church revival, and Uncle Wellington's last thought being that Valancy is "shameless" as if that's the worst thing for a person to be.
But now Valancy is having none of it! She IS shameless, because she has nothing to be ashamed of! Amazing, wonderful, no notes!
