This month of postpartum confinement really stifled her.
By the time her confinement was over, it was April outside, when the grass was growing and the orioles were singing.
The sunlight was warm but not hot; charming young ladies had already put on slightly thicker summer gowns, holding fans scented with incense as they went out for leisure.
