M'Ladies trunk is full of items that she cherrishes such as valentine cards her sweetheart gave her, an old shawl that was her grandmother's, letters from family members far away, baubles that she hides away to ponder over often, material that she made her favorite dress from, feathers from her visit to South American, bells from the sleigh ride an old flame took her on one winter, an old pair of shoes she wore at her first cotillian, and her favorite paper dolls she played with when she was young.
